What are membership level names?

Membership levels, in simple terms, dictate what a consumer receives from your company. When people sign up for recurring payments for your product.

In other words, a membership or subscription level is a tool we use to define what kind of access to the content our members will have.

These days, all industries have a subscription-based business, be it wellness, food, or entertainment.

Types of membership site levels

A membership website is an online community that features gated, exclusive content that only members can access and use.

1. Price/Payment Term membership level

Your pricing structure defines your pricing setup for products or services, including your core price points plus discounts, offers, and strategy. You can use this level naming structure when all membership levels offer the same package of features but vary based on price or term.

How to create your membership level names?

1. Create a Clear Hierarchy (for Tiered Membership Levels)

The structure of your membership club depends on the kind of club you’re running and the services you offer. For memberships that provide content, music, entertainment, and similar services, the tiered structure always works. You can observe which membership tiers are more popular among new members and which plans retain members.

2. Create names similar to your products

If you want your membership site to be successful, your membership tier names are important. The best way to come up with a creative naming structure for your membership levels is to tie it into the topic of your membership site.

For example, if you have a membership teaching people how to play a musical instrument then some great tiers might be:

Musician in the Making
Concert Ready
Virtuoso

3. Reflect on your customer journey

Understanding your customer’s dreams and desires is a powerful emotional motivator to consider when naming your membership levels.

You can easily make your VIP tiers increasingly more valuable by choosing names that reflect how the perception of your brand will change as customers rise through the ranks.
