Hi Rona,
I would also like to know what I owe and by when. I know I paid 12 months ago

Would it be possible to send members automatic emails when their subscriptions are due?

Great network to be a member of and would hate to drop off

Anne

Hi Anne

We currently do have an automatic system.

Each member should receive a reminder 3 weeks before their membership is due. Then an email to say their listing has expired. You then have a month to renew at renewal rates.

Unfortunately
1. all emails are received by members do not necessarily get to you - some are bounced by ; some end-up in Spam/Junk folders, some arrive by are not read (celebrants are very busy)

2. all renewals need to be manually switched back on, and some mistakes can occur.

I don't like to lose any member, but we do not have the staff to follow-up.

Currently the way to check is:
You go to the Home Page,
put your surname in the Search Box,
click "Exact Phrase"
And click Search.

If your listing does not come up, then your membership has expired, or we've not reset you for the next year if you've recently paid.

Then New System will be a little more streamlined, in that you should be able to see your Renewal Date when you log in. However, I've held off a little as there has been a lot of other things happening, and I am considering a Annual Renewal Date for everyone.

Cheers

Hello,

I have just searched for my name and am rather dismayed to find it not there. I have been assuming that I was fully paid up, still a member and therefore advertising with this association. How do I rectify this please?

I paid my annual subscription in June 2010, assuming this would take me up to June 2011.

Could the admin team help me please?

Kind Regards,

Hi to all,

Just checked for my listing per your suggested method and search came back with nil result. I assume then that I must have expired in the system (obviously when I wasn't looking). Could the admin team please advise best means to renew my subs and listing? Thought I should check considering current changes / upgrades happening with payment / renewal systems.

Thanks & regards,

Hi all, just checked my listing and can't find it. Has membership renewal been and gone and I missed it. Kaye

Hi Kaye, Gregory, Lena and Anne

I'll check our records and get back to each of you in the next few days. Thanks for alerting me to your situation.

Cheers
Rona

Hi Kaye Gregory, Lena and Anne

Kaye and Anne your memberships have not expired as yet.
Kaye - yours will expire the end of January 2012
Anne - yours will expire the end of this month

Gregory - Your membership expired at the end of February.

And Lena - we have no record of your ever joining the ACCN. Perhaps because you receive our free national e_magazine you've felt yourself a member. Many celebrants do. Unfortunately we need income to run the network, but you choose the level of service you need or want.

We would love to have you join our network. There are a number of celebrant plans - depending on whether your focus is on:

1. Weddings and General Ceremonies
2. General Ceremonies and maybe Funerals in the future
3. Both 1 and 2
4. Funeral forum support only

To understand the general direction the ACCN is taking please see:
http://www.accn-celebrants.com.au/whats ... ew-softare

For summary of each plan see: ACCN: Information under the Information for celebrants tab - top right on home page.
Or click the top reference on this page.
http://www.accn-celebrants.com.au/accn

The ACCN has three main celebrant forums

1. Weddings, general ceremonies and celebrancy practice on www.accn-celebrants.com.au
2. Small business knowledge and skills www.askacelebrant.com.au
3. General Ceremonies and maybe Funerals in the future www.funeraloptions.com.au
And special interest forums eg.
4. Gold Rose Promotion - Joining promotion has closed, but the forum open to ACCN subscribers
5. CAL_ACCN Copyright Licence Forum (nb A fee is applicable but one does not need to subscribe to ACCN to join that forum)

There is also a you tube video to show you how the forums can be accessed from the Digests to your email box:
See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9nMRUwHUGU

To understand better how the network and its website are aimed at promoting a range of ceremonies and thus our celebrants: Make a cuppa and what some of the VIDEOS on:
http://www.accn-celebrants.com.au/accn-marketing-plan

Some aspect may have changed a little for example the rose with pink leaves is now on ACCN and the rose with grey leaves is on ASKACELEBRANT .. but as the network is run mostly by myself as a volunteer, there's not been time to redo those as yet.

Any other questions about this network and why we take this approach, please feel free to ask here so other non-members can see how the ACCN is rather a unique approach in our aim to develop civil celebrancy as "A Profession" in the coming decades.

Cheers
Rona
