02/ what shapes your price
Four things move the number. We publish the honest floor and shape the rest around what you actually need — no paying for services you won’t use.
Driver 01
A single service (say retention) costs less than a full acquisition-to-content programme. You choose where to start.
Driver 02
The scale of your base and the volume of members moving through it shape the work involved.
Driver 03
How often you go to market — always-on versus a few campaigns a year — changes the monthly commitment.
Driver 04
We can lead everything or work alongside your team; the split moves the price.
03/ outside the fee
Three costs that shape a membership marketing budget, whoever does the work.
Ad spend is yours to set. In Google Ads you set a daily budget per campaign; a monthly figure is the daily budget × 30.4 (Google Ads Help). Qualifying non-profits can get up to $10,000 a month in search ads through Google Ad Grants.
In-house is more than a salary. From April 2026 employers pay 15% National Insurance above £96 a week for most employees (GOV.UK), and at least 3% of qualifying earnings into a workplace pension under automatic enrolment (GOV.UK).
Cadence runs on consent. An always-on email programme has to work within PECR: prospects from bought-in lists need specific consent, and the “soft opt-in” covers only your own customers (ICO, guidance under review after the Data (Use and Access) Act).
Google Ad Grants · HMRC National Insurance rates · GOV.UK workplace pensions. None is part of our fee.
04/ weigh it against value
A member isn’t worth one year of dues — they’re worth every year they stay. Put a number on that before you decide, and the maths usually favours investing in keeping them.

The Result
£1,320
Gross lifetime value per member
Strong
Above 5:1 — you can likely afford to acquire faster and still profit.
Cumulative revenue per member over 6 years
Of each member’s £220 annual value, 18% comes from ancillary spend — revenue you only capture if members stay engaged.
At 8.8:1 you are at or above the 3:1 ratio most membership bodies aim for.
