They would think of deleting few apps. So here is when they can leverage the ‘Add to Wallet.’ By adding the membership card wallet to the app, they can delete the app if they want to, but will still be able to have the access to the membership card.

Studies predict that nearly 73% of the smartphone users love to get things right on their mobile phones, so why not ease the membership module for them? By this, I don’t mean that plastic cards are no more of use. Yes, it does have its own perks. A plastic card comes with personal details of the member which is good when the members have to flaunt it to others when introducing them to the friends or family. But it surely has its limitations and other challenges and you must be aware of it.

If not, then don’t worry; I will let you know. Below I will sum up few of the points that will make it clear for you to understand why should plastic membership cards go digital! Let’s continue reading….

So what membership system do you use? Altru, Raiser’s Edge, Raiser’s Edge NXT, Fundly CRM, Versai or any other membership system, since we integrate with most membership systems.

“Ah… The expiry dates of these many members are approaching, let’s start sending them e-mails and call them up so that they can get the membership card renewed as soon as possible.”

Perhaps this is what you think every other day and your museum staffs start making the calls by informing the members to get their cards renewed. Isn’t it?

But this isn’t the case with the Digital Membership Card. The solution is so smart that it lets you focus on the other tasks by eliminating the burden of calls and e-mails. The automatic renewal reminder will start notifying the members 60 days prior to the expiry date, which would make it easier for the members to get the card renewed just by few clicks.

No… No… they don’t really have to wait for other 2-3 weeks to receive the renewed membership card. With quick e-delivery, the membership card will be delivered to their mobile phones within few hours. How handy is that!

Not only this, but museums will be able to save a lot which used to be spent on printing, separating, matching with the letter, stuffing envelopes, mailing, supplies and staff time.

Leveraging the Apple Wallet-

With so many cards, you can let your members carry one less card in their wallet. After downloading the membership card, the Apple users can simply add the card to their Apple Wallet. This means even after uninstalling the app, they would still have the access to the card. The wallet card pops up on member device, as soon as member comes in the vicinity of Museum.

Wahoo… This is so feasible!!!

So these were few of the advantages of a digital membership card over the plastic card. There are many others which I haven’t covered here. If you are a museum and facing any challenges, then talk to our expert who would guide you-why you should opt for a digital membership card for your members that comes with a number of perks.

Museums are embracing digital innovation, what about yours?

Many museums and cultural organizations have seen vast technology changes over the years. Not just they keep members engaged through other online platforms but are making the best use of mobile technology. Here I am talking about Digital Membership Cards which is transforming the way members are accessing the card and leveraging benefits.

The success of every museum relies on community engagement and it is important to keep pace with the ever-changing technology landscape. So implementing eMembership Card solution in your museum can be a wise decision.

We all will agree to a point that without members, museums would be incomplete. Therefore, museums are learning and keeping themselves updated with the key trends, and respond to the changing behaviors and expectations of their members.

The key area on which museums must focus is the nature of their members. With the advent of the internet, the requirements and expectations have evolved and they want everything to be done within minutes. So why not provide them a solution that they can access right on their palm. The Digital membership card is smart enough as it comes with the facilities that your members have been waiting for and trusts me, they deserve this.

A strategic approach to bring enhancement in the membership card!

For industries, the digital transformation has become more like a necessity in order to walk along with the target audience and their demands. As such, there is no other option left, but to transform the digital membership process.

As such, we help museums to start thinking more strategically and take a similar approach to a new and enhanced way of providing membership card on their smartphone. Digital by its very nature it’s going to meet the museum objectives by letting the members enjoy immense benefits out of which few I have discussed below-

• What happens when the card gets lapse? The members have to wait for another few days in order to get a renewed membership card. Isn’t it? But this is not the case with digital membership cards as it provides quick e-delivery of the card.
• Museums staffs no more have to invest their time in calling up each member or sending e-mails for reminding them about their renewal of the card. The solution has automatic renewal reminder which starts notifying the members about the renewal 60 days prior to the expiry. The frequency could even by customized as per museum’s choice.
• The solution is cost-effective and lets you cut down on mailing the card expenses. Not just this, but you can even save the recurring cost of outsourced mail-house or internal costs of printing, separating, stuffing envelopes and staff time.

Digital Membership Card is a strategic approach by MuseumAnywhere to help museums bring a little transformation for a good cause. Museums are really doing well by implementing this practice for their members.

While it is still in its emerging phase, AR is dramatically changing the way visitors are learning and getting inspired by the artifacts.

Thanks to technology as it is helping the museums experience the tour in a more enhanced way by adding spark to it. Museums can now offer the visitors a tour that escapes from purely visual aspects and turns into an experience for the senses that has been made possible with augmented reality customized museum app.

Today, MuseumAnywhere is pleased and passionate about helping the museums and other cultural institutes to push their ways in delivering new and immersive experiences to the visitors.

We keep ourselves engaged in finding out the best possible ways in which museums can use a variety of digital tools, and that is why we are here to talk about Augmented Reality and how can you leverage its expanding benefits.

A New Dimension

The reason why we thought of bringing the technology at the front is to open a whole new dimension of possibilities for the museums. AR blurs the lines between the virtual and the real to help your visitors experience a new world of possibilities.

It brings art and history to life. How?

As your visitors enter the museum, with the help of AR mobile app, they can easily experience the objects to be moving. In other words, we can say, creating a world that doesn’t exist and bringing the object live in front of the eyes.

Entertainment in unexpected ways

How cool is the technology that let the museums entertain the visitors in a way like never before!

Say suppose, the visitors are learning about the artifact that is static and they suddenly experience it to be moving. A portrait that has been hanging on the walls of the museum appears to leap out of the frame. This is not only thrilling but it also makes the objects relevant and relatable to the visitor.

Enhance the education

Now satisfy your visitors by providing knowledge and information about the nature and history with AR. As your audience can receive a title and description for each artwork or object right on their smartphones. This is particularly useful for those visitors who are thirsty for knowledge.

Break the four walls

AR-based mobile apps help the museums break the four walls by engaging more and more visitors. The artifacts that aren’t displayed in your museum space can be shown digitally using the Augmented Reality.

Are you ready to begin the journey into the augmented reality world with a customized museum app?

Trust me; your museum audience is going to love it while telling about it to others.
