- What would encourage you to become a member of Wikimedia UK?
First hurdle would definitely be finding out that the chapter exists. Next would be finding out what the chapter does and what I would get out of joining.
- What would encourage you to remain a member of Wikimedia UK (renew your
membership)?
Regular communication from the chapter so I don't feel forgotten and can see that the chapter is doing good stuff. The monthly newsletters are an excellent start there. I wouldn't worry too much about this bit until we see what the renewal rate is like when the first memberships come up from renewal. We only need to do anything if it is low. Once someone joins we have their name and address and can easily harass them into renewing their membership if we need to! Once we have direct debits set up so renewal is automatic that should remove all reason to worry.
