New Shop! ANZ benefits
Shop! ANZ has been operating in Australia for almost 30 years, having been established in 1996 as POPAI. In this time the industry has morphed and changed, however, our membership has remained the same.
As times have changed, so are the benefits that we're providing to out members. The addition of events to our memberships has been made after careful consideration and a wish to give our members more value for money and opportunities to beyond your immediate team, office, or WFH space to chat with others in the industry, network, and hear about the latest trends and case studies curated especially for retail marketers (with topics including but not limited to POP, sales promos, shopper marketing, experiential, retail media sustainability and many other relevant topics).
Enhanced Membership Package
The good news is that the Shop! ANZ membership now includes more value, with the addition of three tickets to be used at any of our Professional Development Series (PDS) networking and insights events across the year in Sydney and Melbourne AND 2 two-day passes to our popular annual Retail Marketing Online Conference in September.
The beauty of this new membership is not just the savings that we’ve included (in addition to the 50% member discount on tickets), but by including events tickets in your membership, you’ll be handling fewer invoices, with fewer payments having to go through the processes of internal accounts payable teams. It’s also a great way to encourage team members to get out into the industry for their own professional development.
Attending these events individually would cost $970, but the package is only an additional $600 saving you $370 and a lot of hassle.
Shop! Plus+ Membership
In addition to the new enhanced Shop! ANZ membership, we’re also pleased to launch the enhanced Shop! Plus+ membership, which includes the addition of two further discounted Awards entries and two further discounted tickets to the Annual Awards Gala Dinner (a no brainer if you are a regular entrant to our annual Shop! Awards!). If you are a regular entrant, you’d be aware that aside from the member and early bird discount prior to December 31, we never discount Award entries.
Purchased outside of the Shop! Plus+ membership the total for events and Awards would be $2800, however, as part of the Shop! Plus membership you will pay only $2100, saving $700.
I’ve included below a table of the new Membership Packages explaining the benefits and cost savings of each.
What happens next?
Existing members: If you are an existing member, your next renewal invoice will reflect the new enhanced membership including events tickets at the price of $3200(+GST). However, as an existing member, if you wish to remain on the original membership plan without the reduced events tickets, we are more than happy to grandfather your current membership for the term of your new membership and any subsequent renewals. If you would like to remain on our previous (now grandfathered) membership excluding events tickets, please contact the Shop! ANZ team prior to your renewal date so we can ensure your membership remains unchanged. If you prefer to switch to the new enhanced Shop! ANZ package including further discounted events tickets, you don’t need to do anything, your renewal invoice will automatically be upgraded to reflect this change. If you would like to upgrade to our exclusive Shop! Plus+ membership including events, Awards entries and Gala Dinner Tickets, please let the Shop! ANZ team know so we can ensure your renewal invoice reflects your new membership status.
New members: For new members, the introduction of our new membership plan means that you will automtically be given the option between the new standard enhanced membership and our Shop! Plus+ option. H
How does it work?
When payment is made for your new enhanced memberships, the Shop! ANZ team will issue an email with a Coupon Code for each of your redeemable events (or entries). For example, if you have chosen the new Standard enhanced membership, you will be issued 2 separate codes, one for PDS events and one for our Annual Conference, redeemable via our online booking system at any time throughout the 12 months of your membership term.
Credits expire at the end of each 12 month membership anniversary and cannot be rolled over or accumulated (but we’ll remind you before they expire!). Once your events credits have been used, you can to purchase additional tickets at the half price member’s discount online.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at one of our events.
