No matter your background, Caxton Club provides a community for anyone interested in studying and promoting the art of books to come together, publish, share ideas, hear speakers and even go on field trips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As an entirely volunteer-run organization with a member base that skews older, the Caxton Club needed a powerful, capable solution. We spoke to Immediate Past President of Caxton Club, Jackie Vossler, about how WildApricot helped the club simplify operations, automate essential membership tasks and allow members to engage with the organization &#8211; in a way that\u2019s intuitive and accessible to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Website<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Caxton Club\u2019s WildApricot website acts as its office as an organization without a physical home. The site serves as a meeting place, a digital filing cabinet, a community hub and a bulletin board all in one. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Members from all over gather on the club\u2019s website to discuss the art of book collecting, delve into Caxton\u2019s vast online archive, attend speaking events through Zoom and get information about upcoming events, publications and more. The site is also finely tuned to the needs of its members, who, as a group, generally prefer books to laptops. It\u2019s accessible, easy to navigate <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> not too complex or involved.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe website doesn\u2019t seem too interactive or as \u2018jazzy\u2019 as you might think it should be,\u201d said Jackie Vossler. \u201cIt\u2019s straightforward, but it meets the needs of our membership. For an all-volunteer organization where most members are over 70 years old \u2014 including me \u2014 computer was not our first language \u2014 we need things to be simple.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Caxton Club\u2019s website is not only easy to navigate but also incredibly easy to set up. Jackie said putting it together was a snap with WildApricot\u2019s ready-made themes <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and templates. Along with easy integration with Omeka, software commonly used in book collecting clubs, WildApricot offers guided website setup, with intuitive suggestions on where to place assets like photos and tabs, which fonts to use, formatting help and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI went with all their suggestions,\u201d said Jackie. \u201cI didn\u2019t feel the need to forge my own path. I really think for smaller clubs like us, when you\u2019re not going to have a website design person, starting with one of WildApricot\u2019s templates leads to the best success. WildApricot gives you a lot of guidance about setting up reminders and how you might want to think about what you\u2019re doing. So, if you follow that path, you\u2019ll be set up for success.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Members-only tab<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While the Caxton Club offers a variety of assets to the public for free, their paying members enjoy the bulk of what they have to offer. Under the members-only tab, Caxton hosts 30 years of digitized content plus 12 years of video programs for their members to access on-demand. The vast content library serves as a tremendous asset to members and a valuable tool to incentivize more membership for the club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WildApricot\u2019s advanced website capabilities have also been instrumental in preserving the online archive as a members-only zone. The software\u2019s sophisticated security system prevents any penetration behind the organization\u2019s paywall, ensuring only members are allowed access to the club\u2019s carefully and painstakingly digitized library.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before WildApricot, Caxton stored most of its digital files on Google Drive. However, the club quickly ran out of storage due to its vast content volume. WildApricot allows Caxton not only to host its entire catalog in one place but also to make it readily accessible to paying members.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cOur members are old-time book collectors, so the idea that they can share in the world of book collecting is something that we wanted to be able to do and that we\u2019re encouraging them to do through our website,\u201d Jackie said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been around since 1895. So, members are proud of our history and want to go back and look at things we\u2019ve done in the past. We have no offices, so if a member wants to go back and see something, they can find it all on the website. It represents everything we have to offer and we\u2019re quite proud of that.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Speakers and Events<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As Jackie said, none of the Caxton Club\u2019s events would be possible if they didn\u2019t have such a great website. WildApricot has bolstered not only the club\u2019s online traffic and engagement but also their event attendance, both online and in-person. Jackie said she\u2019s achieved this primarily through keeping things simple, something WildApricot has helped her to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cI\u2019m a big believer in that there\u2019s a lot of money to be made from razors and razor blades. So, once we have a razor, I might replace the blade of information, but we are not reinventing the handle of the razor.\u201d said Jackie. Caxton Club holds two speaker events per month. With WildApricot, Jackie was able to craft her \u201crazor blades\u201d, or the templates for promoting and advertising speakers on the club\u2019s website. From there, all she has to do is swap out the speakers\u2019 photos, names and information, or the \u201cblades\u201d, every two weeks or so, making event setup and preparation simple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This system has made things more manageable <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">both<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> for Caxton volunteers and members alike. Through the website, members can register for events as soon as they go live on the website. They can also check the schedule of upcoming speakers, view the club\u2019s archive of past speakers, receive reminders about upcoming events and check their registration status.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe website is the most important feature for connectivity,\u201d Jackie said. \u201cNone of the events we do would be possible if we didn\u2019t have the website. Because as soon as I put events up on the website, members can begin to register. Then <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">we<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> send out reminders, both for registrants and for members not yet registered. If you have a regimented system and you follow the path that WildApricot has, it\u2019s super helpful.&#8221;<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WildApricot\u2019s systematic content organization has also been enormously helpful in the speaker selection process.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWe have two speakers a month about books and book collecting, and sometimes it\u2019s difficult for me to find those speakers. So, it\u2019s very helpful for me to be able to go back into our website archive and see when we had a certain speaker so that we don\u2019t duplicate things too quickly. It\u2019s also a great way to evaluate a past speaker and determine if we want to have them again. It\u2019s a great file drawer that I constantly reference.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Communication<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Communication is the lifeblood of any organization. As a club that\u2019s been around for almost 130 years, Caxton Club understands the importance of communication. With WildApricot, the club has been able to segment its members by zip code, allowing more relevant and precise communication for in-person events. This strategy has also helped to increase attendance and engagement across the board.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWhen we want to send out a communication, we use WildApricot to do it,\u201d Jackie said. \u201cIf we\u2019re having what we call an <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">on the move<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> event, we will sort our members by zip code and send communications only to certain zip codes. I\u2019m into a lot of segmenting so I found that sort feature to be very, very helpful.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Like website design, Caxton found building emails from templates remarkably easy with WildApricot. Templates and other shortcuts save time and resources and help Caxton create minimalistic, straightforward newsletters for their no-nonsense audience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In addition to routine communication, WildApricot enables Caxton to send out automated email blasts to members on event registration, including payment reminders, \u2018forgot to register\u2019 notifications, and alerts on upcoming events.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cWe\u2019ve found building the newsletters <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">to be<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> easy,\u201d Jackie said. \u201cIf you look at the plan and the path that WildApricot gives, you\u2019ll be successful. We\u2019re really very happy with it.\u201d<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Caxton Club&#8217;s successful transition into the digital age is a testament to the power of technology in preserving tradition and enhancing community engagement. With WildApricot&#8217;s robust platform, this historic organization has seamlessly bridged the gap between old-world charm and modern convenience. The pre-made templates and intuitive design tools WildApricot offers have proven invaluable for a club that values simplicity and accessibility. These tools have empowered the Caxton Club to maintain its rich legacy while expanding its reach and inclusivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WildApricot has enabled the Caxton Club to streamline operations, automate essential tasks, and foster meaningful connections among its members. From its easy-to-navigate website, which serves as a digital hub, to the sophisticated security features that protect the club&#8217;s treasured archives, WildApricot has been instrumental in meeting the unique needs of the Caxton community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The platform has significantly boosted engagement and <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">membership,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> with its targeted communication tools and simplified event management processes. Members can easily register for events, access the club&#8217;s extensive archives <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> participate in discussions, all through an interface that prioritizes user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WildApricot has provided the Caxton Club with the tools necessary to thrive in a digital landscape, ensuring its storied history and passion for books continue to inspire future generations. As the club looks toward the future, it does so with confidence, knowing that its cherished traditions will be preserved and celebrated in an ever-evolving digital world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/features\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4047\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WildApricot-CTA-Project_Large-CTA-1-1024x394.png\" alt=\"Click through to claim your 60-day trial of WildApricot and boost event engagement with QR codes.\" width=\"640\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WildApricot-CTA-Project_Large-CTA-1-1024x394.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WildApricot-CTA-Project_Large-CTA-1-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WildApricot-CTA-Project_Large-CTA-1-768x296.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/WildApricot-CTA-Project_Large-CTA-1.png 1220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Caxton Club In January of 1895, a small but dedicated group of book lovers founded the Caxton Club in Chicago. 129 years later, the club has been around longer than many of the books it\u2019s collected, and at 400 members strong, it doesn\u2019t show signs of slowing down any time soon.
