Did you realise there isn’t an official day celebrating the wonderful world of memberships?

Heck, when ‘National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day’ is an actual thing, I think us membership site owners deserve to have a day of our own!

So we’re leading the charge to make February 28th officially Membership Day.

And we’d like to encourage you to take part and use this day to celebrate your fantastic membership and the amazing people who are part of it.

Membership Day is all about helping to raise awareness of and celebrate online memberships:  the people who run them, the people who join them and everything in between.

As such, there’s no right or wrong way to celebrate it!

But if you’re feeling stuck for ideas, here’s 10 ways you could celebrate to get your creative juices flowing:

Give your members a big shout out

You can’t celebrate #MembershipDay without acknowledging the most integral element of your site – your members!

Use this as an opportunity to recognise individuals inside your community for their wins, their progress and their fantastic results.

Talk about your membership

This is the perfect opportunity to actually tell people about your membership!

What is it, who is it for? Share what you’ve created and why.

Share the love – tell everyone about your favourite memberships you’re in

There are so many awesome memberships out there and #MembershipDay is the perfect time to celebrate them.

Give your favourite memberships a shout out on social media and tell us what makes them so great.

Host a member mixer inside your community 

Super easy to set up, great for fostering connections – both between you and your members and within your wider community – the member mixer is a very informal way of celebrating everything about your membership with those that matter the most.

Just make sure you share the fun on social so we can all feel part of it.

Go live to share the impact your membership has had on everyone involved

Running a membership can be one of the most rewarding experiences…

And so can being part of one!

One thing you can do to mark #MembershipDay is to go live on your Facebook page or YouTube channel to share the impact that your membership has had on both your life and that of your members.

Launch a new feature, or release a new piece of content inside your membership
