Sub-Committee<br />

Membership<br />

It has been a productive and fruitful year for the Membership Sub-Committee,<br />

especially in the area of membership recruitment.<br />

The year 2006 closed on a high note with a gross total of 737 new members,<br />

compared to 277 the previous year. This was mainly attributed to the success of a<br />

membership recruitment campaign launched in the last quarter - The Super Deal.<br />

The Super Deal attracted some 502 new members who received $1,000 worth of<br />

<strong>NUSS</strong> F&B vouchers and $888 worth of other welcome gifts and privileges when<br />

they signed up at the prevailing entrance fee of $2,000.<br />

Existing members also participated enthusiastically in the Member-Get-Member<br />

promotion held in tandem with The Super Deal and recommended up to 90% of<br />

the new members. For their efforts, these existing members were rewarded with<br />

$500 worth of <strong>NUSS</strong> F&B vouchers for each successful sign-up.<br />

Taking a proactive approach to marketing the <strong>NUSS</strong> membership, the Sub-<br />

Committee sought collaborations with external organisations such as the Law<br />

Society, Singapore Dental Association and Agency for Science, Technology and<br />

Research (A*STAR). Besides aiding in recruitment efforts, these collaborations also<br />

increased awareness of the <strong>NUSS</strong> brand in a direct market of potential members.<br />
