Mission – Marketing – Membership
Introduction
![Page 4: Mission - Marketing - Membership](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110114/5467e8e3af7959b65d8b58cf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Membership Department Positioning
Where do we fit? Are we marketing? Are we fundraising? Are we the promoters of our organization’s mission?
We are all of that!
Mission – Marketing – Membership
![Page 5: Mission - Marketing - Membership](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110114/5467e8e3af7959b65d8b58cf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How is Membership Positioned in Your Organization?
![Page 6: Mission - Marketing - Membership](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110114/5467e8e3af7959b65d8b58cf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Does Membership planning occur with and do you have the support of the following Departments? (check all that apply)
![Page 7: Mission - Marketing - Membership](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110114/5467e8e3af7959b65d8b58cf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Membership is out in front of other departments with graphic needs
• Membership can’t “fit into” Marketing or IT’s email communications schedules
• Institutional marketing messages and Membership marketing messages are disparate
• Marketing databases and Membership database don’t talk, overlap but no one coordinates
• Members expect to “know first” – and should!• Member online communications are not specific to their
membership status• …and many other scenarios!
Common Challenges

Membership and Marketing
![Page 9: Mission - Marketing - Membership](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110114/5467e8e3af7959b65d8b58cf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Full color vintage illustration of the Three Bears discovering that someone has eaten their porridge.Drawing was scanned from a 1933 children’s fairy tales book.
Membership and Marketing can be like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
The porridge is too cold. It’s too warm. Or – if you’re lucky – it can be “just right”!
The Three Bears
![Page 10: Mission - Marketing - Membership](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110114/5467e8e3af7959b65d8b58cf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Or, Membership and Marketing can be like the Goldilocks Zone – an area of space in which a planet is just the right distance from its home star (or sun) so that its surface is neither too hot nor too cold.
For example, Venus roasts in a runaway greenhouse effect and Mars exists as a frozen, arid world. But in between - on Earth - the conditions are just right (so that liquid water remains on the surface of the planet without freezing or evaporating out into space). Planets that may be “just right” are in the Goldilocks Zone.
The Goldilocks Zone
![Page 11: Mission - Marketing - Membership](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110114/5467e8e3af7959b65d8b58cf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How does this analogy play out for Membership and Marketing?
It’s a bit like standing around a campfire on a very cold night. Stand too far away and you freeze, stand too close and you catch on fire and burn to death.
If the Membership and Marketing departments are too far away, then the relationship freezes and life can’t emerge. If they orbit too closely the relationship can be roasting hot and nothing can live.
It gets a bit more complex than this, of course! And it also has some pretty significant implications for the search for extraterrestrial life . . .
Just Right

Make Membership and Marketing your Goldilocks story.
If the porridge is too cold. If the porridge is too warm. If the bed is too big. If the bed is too small.
It’s your job to . . .
Make it “JUST RIGHT.”
