How do I email members from past seasons?
You can use the Not Retained filter to find members from past seasons that do not have a subscription in your most recent season.
To do this, you can:
1) Go to the Members page in your dashboard
2) Under the Accounts header, select the Not Retained filter
3) After you apply the filter, click Find
4) Click the Email button in the top right corner to email all members who were not retained in your current season from past seasons.
To do this, you can:
1) Go to the Members page in your dashboard
2) Under the Accounts header, select the Not Retained filter
3) After you apply the filter, click Find
4) Click the Email button in the top right corner to email all members who were not retained in your current season from past seasons.
This email will only go to members who do not have a subscription in your current season. This will help to avoid emailing members twice and allow you to tailor your email. You may want to consider adding things like:
- Highlighting new products in your most recent and your upcoming season
- Adding a promotional coupon code to incentive old members to join your new season
- Asking for feedback on how to improve your new season

How do I post the new season Join link on my website?
The methods by which you can integrate hyperlinks into your website will vary by website software. (Please note that these links will not work if they are embedded in frames, such as iframes.) The most common technique is to tie a link to a specific image or body of text which provides a brief description of where that link will take the individual. For example, when creating a button for your Sign-Up link, consider verbiage such as “Join our CSA!” or “Become a member now!” Below are some examples from farms that have set up eye-catching homepages.
How do I offer discounts to members?
To offer discounts, you can create a coupon code or set up discounted payment plans to use at sign up.
