"Memberful has everything you need to run a membership program."

Member-driven organizations all share a problem. As membership grows, the work required to manage your members grows faster. Acquiring more members requires a dedicated focus—but so do all your existing members. Finding the time you need to achieve the growth you want gets more and more difficult.

One of the reasons this happens is because, as their organizations grow, membership managers adopt tools to solve specific problems, but soon these ‘solutions’ create issues of their own. Excel spreadsheets help you store and manage member information, MailChimp enables you to manage communications, and EventBrite helps you create and manage events—but when one task requires you to use all three tools—work becomes inefficient and frustrating

Membership Management Software spares you the headache of juggling multiple platforms by consolidating all your data and offering all the tools you need to access and use it.

As software that enables these creators to sell their memberships, Memberful helps them build sustainable businesses by empowering them to own their audience. Memberful strives to focus on the creator economy and bring together people with common interests.

Memberful provides independent creators with the resources to track their metrics and acquire new members. Memberful’s features like free or paid trials, referral programs, and group subscriptions help the creators entice newcomers.

Enabling Creators to Gather Paying Members to Unleash their True Creative Potential

Memberful enables entrepreneurs, artists, and creators to monetize their passion. With the ownership, control, and independence that Memberful’s software allows, customers can completely control every aspect of their membership business.

Memberful offers tools that allow its users/customers to monetize their work and reach a larger audience easily. Like a white label product whose customers have all the control, Memberful creators decide where their content lives and how their audience interacts with them. As a decentralized solution, creator audiences never leave their sites. In addition, Memberful integrates with WordPress, GoogleAnalytics, and various other sites without the hassle of coding.

Take the case of Molly Baz, for example. Molly Baz worked at Bon Appetit food magazine as a food editor. When Molly eventually decided to depart from Bon Appetit, she needed a channel for her audience to access her recipes. When the idea of a recipe newsletter came to mind, Molly began looking into membership software. In March of 2022, Molly became a Memberful customer to manage her exclusive members-only space, The Club, where she shares recipes, hosts giveaways, and offers special discounts to her favorite brands. By using Memberful’s software, Molly was able to power an immersive and fully branded experience for her members.

As the creator economy continues to grow, independent creators are searching for the solution that allows them to migrate their fans away from their social networks and towards the channels they own. In this ecosystem, Memberful wants to be the solution that provides the power of an owned audience. Furthermore, as the creator economy becomes increasingly popular because of its accessibility, Memberful intends to continue to be the software that makes that accessibility easily attainable.

Drew Strojny | CEO

Drew Strojny is a former NFL player for the St. Louis Rams who has been a pivotal pioneer in web-building. Strojny’s drive and passion for the industry began upon his retirement in 2007 when he began selling tabletop ad space to restaurants across the Boise, Idaho region.

When he realized the need for such a business in the digital area, Strojny pivoted and began building websites for local establishments through his agency, Jestro. The company grew to encompass the Theme Foundry upon learning about the fast-paced market for simplified WordPress-themed templates.

But when the time came that Strojny felt the push to utilize a membership concept, he couldn’t quite find one that fit his own business’s needs. Memberful was born out of Strojny’s desire for a simplified product that creates subscription-based membership websites.
