Introducing Member Splash to Your Members

Modified on Thu, 23 Mar 2023 at 06:57 PM

Use your Mailchimp account (or other mailing system) for sending bulk emails to your membership. Our experience is that club’s email data runs the gamut from non-existent to fairly comprehensive. Our recommendation to clubs is that you send an initial email to your members letting them know about the new site and how to access their accounts. This is a key step in introducing your membership to Member Splash.


Since most mail packages tracks opens and bounces you can then generate a list of members who either don’t have an email address on file or didn’t get or read the email and follow up with a paper mailing.


Using Merge Tags

You might want to use the provided sample as the basis of your initial email. It uses Merge Tags which get replaced with actual member data. The format for a merge tag is *|TAG|* where TAG is replaced with the type of data we want to merge.


Here are a few pre-packaged email templates to get you started, these are only suggestions so feel free to compose your own welcome letter.  Remember that every club is different so take the time to modify these to your own situation. For example use the terms your club members would recognize, include some details about the set up and passwords. Lastly always be prepared for your members to contact you with questions. An introductory email to your members might look something like one of these samples, but you can edit the email based on your system configuration/settings:

As part of the pre-launch process, we have worked hard to clean our records and import all of your existing account data into the new system.  We ask that when you first log into the new system to secure and pay your membership dues, please take a moment to verify all of your account information and make any corrections needed.  If you have any questions or need assistance with any changes please contact us at <insert email here>.
