Solutions

Groupanizer Sing! is a proven solution for your choir.  Here's how it works:

Grow your membership

This means holding on to the members you have, finding new members that fit, and convincing them to join.  Here are some great strategies:

Retaining existing members is all about communication, so Groupanizer Sing is an online place where your whole group can share information.  It also provides direct communication tools like mailing lists, email notifications and the automatic "weekly update."  And your members will understand that you value their opinion if you ask them - use the polling feature!

Finding new members that fit - Groupanizer gives you a public web site that will serve as the focus of your outreach efforts, by showing people what's great about your group, and why joining will give them the kind of experience they're looking for.  And once you find them, keep track of them using the "recruiting" contact management system, with automatic follow-up reminders.

Convincing them to join - here's a proven strategy.  Once they know what you're offering, getting candidates to sign on the bottom line means making them feel comfortable.  Give each Candidate a Groupanizer account with special permission settings, so they can see the audition requirements and the new member marketing parts of your site (but nothing they shouldn't see).

Motivate and energize

Motivation is all about focus and purpose.  Make sure you've got a clear sense of purpose, and then use your Groupanizer memership system to keep that purpose top-of-mind for your members. Use the song status features and the task manager to ensure that each member knows what they need to do personally to support the purpose.

Stop leader burnout

What would your group do without the leaders and the tireless workers?  Don't lose them!  Use Groupanizer as a collaboration and delegation platform to spread out the work.

An organized group is going to achieve their goals, and that feeling of success will keep your leaders motivated to lead, and your worker bees motivated to keep working for success.

Future-proof your group

It happens every year - a new management team means all the wheels get reinvented.  Stop the madness by keeping your systems online.  Bake them into your Groupanizer configuration, or just post them in the document section so everyone can see them, instead of relying on paper documents that wind up collecting dust.  Groupanizer is the vehicle for your legacy.

Fill your coffers

There are many ways to use Groupanizer to make money:

• Use the contact manager and mailing lists to make sure your fans know about your shows
• Sell tickets and merchandise online with Groupanizer's full-featured ecommerce system
• Keep growing your membership (see above) and collect more dues!
• Use Groupanizer to keep track of your patrons, and to determine their rewards each season

This is just the tip of the iceberg - Groupanizer is a powerful and integrated suite of tools, limited only by your creativity.
