Best membership and email combination

  • Hi folks
    I’m moving our website to WordPress so am setting things up from scratch.

    We currently have a membership vendor that manages a few thousand memberships (and payments) separate from the website, and are using Mailchimp for email (through an integration).

    Obviously there are plug-ins we can use, but does anyone have any advice on the best combination of plug-ins to use so we can move away from those vendors – or if there is one that does everything well?

    Thanks in advance
    Neil

  • Strictly speaking according to this forum’s rules you should be asking about plugin choices in ‘Fixing WordPress’ Forum. Maybe a moderator will move it.

    Anyway there is a open source CRM designed for NFPs that is installed as a plugin and integrates with WordPress, although it is technically a system in itself, that should cover your needs, lookup CiviCRM.

    One of my client is a residents association and they use it for about 5,000 members, membership records, subscriptions and emailing newsletters.

    G’day Allan
    Apologies if I put this in the wrong group. CiviCRM sounds fine – will check it out.

    Thanks for your response – and it sounds like it meets the residents association’s requirements which is great to hear. Hoping to follow their lead…

    Regards

    I’m using CiviCRM on WP for a neighborhood association. While it’s a wonderful platform, were I to do it again, I think I’d try to find something more pared down. I don’t see that I could ever turn this over to someone else to manage.

    That said, it does membership, payments, mailings, and a whole lot more.

    It is true CiviCRM is a ‘big’ product and well worth investigating other options too. Life is never straight forward when it comes to system selection. ( thankfully as much of my corporate life I got paid well to do just that )
