Memberships is a built-in monetization feature inside Edmingle that allows institutes to sell recurring subscription plans. With Memberships, you can bundle courses, events, and blogs into a single subscription—giving learners ongoing access to value, while your academy earns predictable, recurring revenue.

Unlike one-time course sales, Memberships help you retain learners longer, reduce churn, and build communities inside your LMS. No need for external platforms  —everything is managed directly within Edmingle.

Why Use Memberships?

Recurring subscriptions aren’t just another sales tactic—they’re a way to stabilize revenue and keep learners engaged over time. Memberships in Edmingle help you go beyond one-off enrollments and helps you to:

• Create predictable recurring revenue instead of chasing one-off sales
  
  

• Bundle multiple courses, events, and blogs into one seamless plan
  
  

• Build long-term learner communities to drive loyalty and engagement
  
  

• Reduce churn with free trials, renewals, and flexible plans
  
  

• Keep operations simple by managing subscriptions, payments, and access all in one place

Best-Practice Playbook

These are practical guidelines to help you design membership plans that are simple to manage and attractive for learners.

• Name signals value: Choose names that immediately convey outcomes (Starter, Growth Accelerator).
  
  

• Benefits that sell: Use 3–6 concrete, learner-facing benefits. Keep them short and impactful.
  
  

• Plan design: Offer flexible billing cycles (monthly, quarterly, annual) based on your training model.
  
  

• Trials: Provide a short free trial (5–14 days) to reduce entry barriers, and pair it with a grace period + reminder campaigns.
  
  

• Anchoring with pricing: Show clear value by comparing different plan cycles.
  
  

• Inclusions hygiene: Double-check that all mapped courses and assets are correctly included. Learners should unlock value immediately.

Tip: Pair Memberships with Campaigns to promote sign-ups, send renewal reminders, and upsell learners into higher-value plans.
