Understanding the member journey is vital to creating an excellent membership experience, whether you’re welcoming new members, reconnecting with lapsed ones, or converting existing members into donors. In this webinar, we'll explore five stages of a holistic member journey - acquisition, onboarding, engagement, advocacy and growth - with actionable tips on how to strengthen relationships, ensure retention, and build loyalty at every step of the way.

Join Dan Sullivan, VP of Growth & Partnerships @ Cuseum, along with Claire Byfield, Membership and Supporter Engagement Manager @ The British Museum, Cat Harper, Assistant to the Director @ National Steinbeck Center, and Megan Geiken, Director of Marketing, Membership, and Events @ Grand Rapids Children's Museum, as they explore what this modern-day process looks like, how to maximize opportunities at every stage, and strategies for paving the way to membership resilience, growth, and ultimate success.

About this webinar

On-demand conversations for cultural organizations

Cuseum hosts a regular series of webinars and roundtables bringing together leaders from museums, zoos, aquariums, gardens, performing arts venues, and alumni associations. These conversations dig into the practical challenges of running modern membership and engagement programs — from rolling out digital memberships and mobile apps to navigating reopening, marketing in a noisy landscape, and using data to retain more members.

How Cuseum helps

Cuseum is an end-to-end engagement platform built specifically for museums, cultural attractions, and membership organizations. Our products span four core areas, and most customers start with one and expand over time as their digital strategy matures.

Digital membership cards

Replace plastic cards with mobile-wallet passes that members can save to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, update in real time, and use for tap-to-scan entry. Reduce printing and shipping costs while giving members a faster, more modern experience.

Mobile apps and audio guides

Branded mobile experiences for tours, exhibits, wayfinding, and self-guided storytelling. Multilingual support, accessibility features, and integrations with ticketing and ecommerce keep visitors engaged from arrival to return visit.

Member engagement and retention

Push notifications, SMS, email, and member portals work together to drive renewals, surface upcoming programs, and re-engage lapsing members. Built-in analytics show what's working so teams can iterate quickly.

CRM and ticketing integrations

Cuseum connects with Tessitura, Altru, Salesforce, Raiser's Edge, ACME, AudienceView, and dozens of other systems so member data, ticketing, and digital experiences stay in sync without manual exports.
