Did you realise there isn’t an official day celebrating the wonderful world of memberships?
Heck, when ‘National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day’ is an actual thing, I think us membership site owners deserve to have a day of our own!
So we’re leading the charge to make February 28th officially Membership Day.
And we’d like to encourage you to take part and use this day to celebrate your fantastic membership and the amazing people who are part of it.
Membership Day is all about helping to raise awareness of and celebrate online memberships: the people who run them, the people who join them and everything in between.
As such, there’s no right or wrong way to celebrate it!
But if you’re feeling stuck for ideas, here’s 10 ways you could celebrate to get your creative juices flowing:

You can't celebrate #MembershipDay without acknowledging the most integral element of your site – your members!
Use this as an opportunity to recognise individuals inside your community for their wins, their progress and their fantastic results.
Talk about your membership
This is the perfect opportunity to actually tell people about your membership!
What is it, who is it for? Share what you’ve created and why.
