If you’re organizing an annual event with regular attendees, it’s time to step up your game and offer them something extra. Building loyalty among your audience means giving them compelling reasons to come back year after year. One of the best ways to do this? Sell event memberships that provide exclusive perks like premium content access, discounts on tickets, and a personalized experience.
With Dryfta, offering event memberships is not just simple—it’s a strategic way to enhance attendee engagement and build a strong community. Let’s dive into how you can set up memberships and give your attendees more value.
Why Offer Event Memberships?
Event memberships are more than just a ticket—they’re a gateway to:
- Exclusive Content: Provide members with access to premium sessions, workshops, or digital resources.
- Special Discounts: Reward loyal attendees with ticket discounts or early-bird pricing.
- Enhanced Loyalty: Create a sense of belonging and encourage repeat attendance.
Memberships allow you to build long-term relationships with your attendees while generating consistent revenue streams.
How to Set Up Event Membership Tickets with Dryfta
Setting up membership tickets in Dryfta is a breeze. Follow these steps to get started:
1. Create a Membership Ticket
- Log into your event dashboard and go to the Basics section.
- Create a new ticket (or select an existing one).
- Save the ticket to activate its settings.
2. Configure Membership Settings
- Navigate to the Ticket Settings for the ticket you just created.
- Enable the Membership option.
- Enter the validity period (in days) for the membership.
- Click Save.
Your membership ticket will now appear in the list of available tickets on your event website. Attendees can purchase it just like a regular ticket. Once their payment is confirmed, membership details will be displayed under the My Membership tab in their user dashboard.
How to Provide Access to Premium Content for Members
The real value of memberships lies in offering exclusive access to premium content. Here’s how you can set this up:
1. Create a Role for Members
- Go to the Roles & Access Control section in your dashboard.
- Create a new role specifically for members under the Contact Usertype category.
- Select the content you want to make accessible only to members (e.g., premium sessions, resources, or workshops).
- Click Save.
2. Link the Role to the Membership Ticket
- Return to Basics > Tickets in your dashboard.
- Click the Settings Icon for the membership ticket.
- From the Role Dropdown, select the role you just created.
- Save the changes.
Now, when attendees purchase a membership ticket, they’ll automatically gain access to the premium content tied to that role.
