MoST Testimonial
8 December 2011
In the voluntary student membership (VSM) environment, organisations like the Victoria University of Wellington Law Students’ Society can no longer rest on their laurels to recruit and engage members. We need ways to innovate. This means finding ways to better communicate our value to potential members, keep track of who are members are, and making it easier for them to interact with us.
The MoST website content management system fulfils both of these aims. The automation that it offers through subscription management means that it is easy for our members to join and even easier for us to keep track of our membership. With the introduction of VSM, this is more important than ever – membership now matters.
Additionally the simple web content editing means that we can have a dynamic and engaging website that effectively displays and communicates our message and events to our membership base. The ease of use means that upkeep is not difficult and makes the website a centralised and effective method of engaging member’s interest.
Finally, use of MoST creates value for us as an organisation through providing additional resources for members. Online event registration has been huge for us – it has eliminated the paper-chase system that we previously operated. Additionally, we now have a range of measurable data about the events that our members are attending. The existence of this data means that we can better tweak our events to what our member’s want, and provide more value for them in doing so. The various engagement tools such as the discussion forums represent unique ways to get the most out of our organisation and extract value for all.
Since we started using MoST, we haven’t looked back. We would have struggled to survive in the VSM environment without it.
