<h3>Real-world membership site examples</h3>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary" style="margin-bottom: 20px">
<li>Retailers <strong>drive recurring revenue</strong> by offering store discounts for members. Sell a $99 per year membership and give members 10% off your store. Use memberships to create loyal customers and dependable recurring revenue.</li>
<li>Publishers create <strong>content paywalls</strong> to sign up new subscribers for access to articles or blog posts. They can even use <strong>content dripping</strong> for access to older content, so members unlock access over time, vs getting everything at signup.</li>
<li>Podcasts can <strong>protect their recordings or videos</strong> to provide extra content to subscribers, boosting support for a free podcast or show.</li>
<li>Communities or companies create <strong>locked, member-only stores</strong> (or categories) that require membership to make purchases. Use exclusivity to keep your members happy, or to drive new subscriptions that unlock special access.</li>
<li><strong>Online educators</strong> protect their course content and drip out access to new lessons over time. They can even offer products, forums, supplementary videos, or certifications only to learners.</li>
<li>Guilds or hobby communities <strong>connect their members</strong> by creating private listings of all members who have signed up, with their content information. Some even create private forums, boards, or direct messages<sup>1</sup> to help members get in touch with one another.</li>
<li>B2B sellers can <strong>create discounts for wholesalers</strong>, to give them a percentage discount on all purchases throughout the store. Constellation works seamlessly alongside tiered discount plugins, too (like Dynamic Pricing) so you can also create quantity-based discounts.</li>
<li>Event sites can <strong>require free sign up</strong> to get early access to tickets, or keep the best seats available to members only by protecting product purchases.</li>
</ul>
<p><small><sup>1</sup>We recommend using <strong>bbPress</strong> or <strong>BuddyPress</strong> (both free!) to offer enhanced member communities. Constellation supports both of them out of the box.</small></p>
