[BCMA] Small Museum Membership Benefits

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi Emily,

We have a pretty basic membership package as well, but in addition to what
you've listed, we give a 10% discount to programs (a lot of families get
this for after school programs and summer camps), a monthly(ish)
e-newsletter (Mailchimp), early entry to special exhibitions (sometimes
that's just opening the doors 30 minutes ahead of the public opening), and
of course the AGM vote.
This year, we are adding member Saturdays - more family-oriented - where
there is a special activity every Saturday.

Another idea that has been suggested but we haven't had a chance to
implement: a free guest pass for visiting family/friends.
Some other member groups in the area (while not museums) include a local
supporting business discount on the back of the member card - for example:
10% off a coffee/specialty drink at the local coffee shop. I think that's a
really great idea too if you have an interested business!
