Talked to a music producer today who's been selling sample packs for 15 years. His take on Patreon: "a little too close to social media, not close enough to owning your store." Zendra lets you offer the same types of Memberships on your Shopify store.

Splice turned sample packs into a commodity. $9/mo for millions of sounds. But the creators selling their own packs with loyal returning customers? They're still thriving. Set up your own subscription and membership offering on your Shopify store with Zendra. Own your customer relationship!

Better membership perks than a blanket discount:
→ Remove friction (free shipping, easy returns)
→ Create access (early launches, member-only products)
→ Support habits (subscribe-and-save)

A membership that's built around a permanent discount isn't a loyalty program. It's a coupon with a monthly fee.

Start your membership with one or two non-price perks and watch how customers respond. You can always add value later. Taking it away is the hard part.

Flat discounts as your core membership perk sound great on paper. In practice, they train customers to anchor on price instead of brand affinity. Your membership stops feeling like access and starts feeling like a fancy coupon: https://zendra.com/news/membership-should-be-more-than-a-discount/
