Introducing Member Portal by Cuseum

In today’s day and age, serving members, providing modern conveniences, and offering valuable benefits have never been more important for membership organizations. Indeed, for museums, attractions, nonprofits, universities, and associations, there is heightened urgency to attract and retain members with new perks and incentives.

At the same time, organizations are facing many challenges and inefficiencies: membership professionals often devote significant time and resources towards updating database records, answering redundant questions, and helping members access their benefits. These inefficiencies can likewise diminish the member experience, as constituents struggle to update their own information, access their membership benefits, and enjoy a seamless experience.

In response to these challenges, Cuseum is thrilled to announce the latest innovation in membership: the Member Portal.

Does the Clubhouse App Have a Place at Your Museum or Cultural Organization?

As many museums begin to reopen their doors to visitors, they are facing new challenges: social, commercial, and informal learning spaces will remain closed, which may encourage museums and cultural organizations to continue using virtual channels to complement their in-person offerings. In a crowded market for social media, Clubhouse offers special possibilities for bringing artists, cultural organizations, and audiences together into the same room.

Although Clubhouse lacks the same ubiquity as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and the youthful appeal of TikTok, it may hold promise as a dynamic space for museums, curators, collectors, artists, and fans to connect and socialize in a laid-back, audio-only space.

If you want to get in on the conversation with Clubhouse, here are some pointers to get you started:
