Leveraging Memberships for Your Business

With membership-based services sprouting up in every aspect of our lives,  from wine-of-the-month clubs to ordering toilet paper on a monthly basis, it’s clear that the membership model isn’t going away any time soon as companies (yes, like Lenovo) try to create their own self-sustaining ecosystems.

More importantly, though, than someone else’s bottom line, is how can memberships help YOU and YOUR business?

Today we attempt to answer this question in Spotlight ROI where the LenovoPRO Community team deep dives all the ways your business can maximize it’s investments especially in this – sorry for the cliché – new normal.

Anyway, you’re on the LenovoPRO Community reading this, so we hope you already know the very-real benefits to your business with LenovoPRO, but we’re not the only game in town. After all, we don’t sell oh-so-precious toilet paper. So, let’s get into it!

Exclusive Savings

Yes, it’s the obvious one, but, look, most companies offer some sort of savings program if you commit to a weekly/monthly/annual subscription of some sort. This is a classic no-brainer for your expenses – like perhaps toilet paper – that are very consistent

Does LenovoPRO offers excusive savings to members? Yes. In the US, LenovoPRO members get up to an extra 5% off every day which is a discount that often goes up for special promotional periods. 

Leasing Hardware

If you’ve ever been in the market for a car, you know there is an endless debate on whether it’s more beneficial to lease or own a car. While ownership has been the classic model for hardware (and so many other industries), more and more business models are pivoting to leasing models especially as many businesses are operating on leaner budgets with employees in remote locations. In the tech world, it’s called Device-as-a-Service or DaaS.

Does LenovoPRO offer Device-As-A-Service (DaaS) to members? Yes. It allows your business to do more with less, aligning your expenses with revenues and untethering your cash flow. It keeps your employees connected, supported and productive from any location. AND let’s you focus on what you do best with a single point of accountability and custom solutions.

Free (or Expedited) Shipping

Most membership programs will give its loyal customers some sort of discount on shipping to help incentivize purchases. When you are talking about heavy products or bulk purchases, this can be a serious amount of savings.

Does LenovoPRO offer free shipping to members? Free shipping is actually standard for all Lenovo.com purchases whether you are a LenovoPRO or not but, LenovoPRO membership gets you FREE expedited delivery. 

Early Access

Supply chain issues can be prevalent in virtually in any industry. You don’t want to be in a position where your business cannot get the goods it needs to function. With membership programs, many businesses prioritize their members with exclusive early access both to promotions and specific products.

Does LenovoPRO offer early access to members? Yes. Members get exclusive early access to Lenovo.com’s biggest promotions, meaning you can snap up the right products at the right price for your business, right ahead of everyone else.

Advanced Support

Every business cares about customer support…or at least pretends to care. Whether on a professional or a personal level, there’s not one person amongst us who hasn’t sat on the phone or been in an online chat with support personnel for what surely feels like hours-on-end. Regardless of a business’ commitment to support, there is ultimately a queue of customers at the non-membership level. With certain memberships, you can expect a significant upgrade in your support. Most often, at the very least, you can skip that pesky queue.

Does LenovoPRO offer advanced support to members? Yes. You can speak one-on-one with small business specialists for expert advice AND you can get one year of free Premier Support that allows you to advance to the front of the line and get faster resolutions.
