The directory feature is one of the most potentially useful features of Member365. It allows you to create, configure and maintain searchable databases containing lists of members and non-member contacts. Offering directories to let members sort and find contact information is a great way to provide them incredible value.
Make Information Work for You
Directories come with a wide range of configuration options, meaning that no matter what kind of organization you run, there’s a way to make directories serve your members.
As Flexible as Your Organization
You can create as many directories as you want, and you can choose which groups or membership categories are included in each. If you just want to make a directory for all your Gold memberships, you can do that, or you can create separate directories for suppliers, vendors, and any other category you can think of.
Suited to Your Needs
Depending on the nature of your organization, you might find it handy to develop different sets of directories. An organization that specializes in the manufacturing and sale of a particular product might have a directory for suppliers, a directory for merchandisers, and a directory for vendors. On the other hand, an organization involved in event planning might want separate directories for members, presenters, audio/video services, and anything else that its members might find useful.
Getting Started
The work you put into creating and organizing your directories is work that you spare every contact who wants to use them, and you’ll both be grateful that you spent the effort. Maintaining directories is a solid step towards keeping your contacts cared for and engaged.
