Why You Should Choose It: desktop software can be a great choice for smaller clubs and organisations with a small membership base
Online Membership Software
The relative newcomer, but nonetheless, an option which will suit everyone, big or small. Online software is more intuitive and offers greater functionality and integration than desktop software alone.
Pros: ready to use as soon as you sign up – no installing complicated software, no difficulties in setting up. Online software enables you to pass responsibility for maintaining member iran rcs data account information back to your members; fees and renewals can be done easily and securely online; 24/7 support when you need it. Many providers, including LoveAdmin, offer a host of other features such as email communications and event management. Most providers will offer a free demo or trial so you can test all the features and functions before signing up.
Cons: vet providers carefully to ensure they have all the functionality you need (see our guide at the end of this post) and that data is stored securely and not rented, leased or sold to any third parties. Whatever online system you choose, there will always be a cost for processing payments online.
Why You Should Choose It: perfect for clubs and organisations of all sizes. Most providers will offer a range of plans to suit your budget. Online membership software offers an easy to use, easy to integrate solution, with access for a number of different administrators.
A Combined System
Sometimes neither of the above are suitable or even practical for you. In this case, combining features from both may offer the best solution.
Pros: combine a desktop database with an online payment gateway and email marketing program to create an easy to manage system with easy payment processing options.
Cons: could potentially be more expensive than a standalone solution as you will need to pay for the software (including future upgrades) and fees for the online systems.
Better still, it can be accessed remotely
