About Trondheim Jazzforum

Trondheim Jazzforum is a professional association based in Trondheim, Norway, dedicated to supporting a vibrant local jazz scene. As a volunteer-led organiztion, its mission centres on creating meaningful musical experiences and fostering deep engagement within its community.

The organi<ation has been using Join It for membership management since 2018, using the platform to manage its growing member base and streamline day-to-day operations.

‍

The Challenge

Before adopting a digital approach, Trondheim Jazzforum faced the typical constraints of a volunteer-run organization. Managing memberships, tracking payments, and maintaining member records all required manual effort and time that the team did not have to spare.

These administrative demands created inefficiencies and pulled focus away from what mattered most: organizing concerts and supporting local musicians.

As Stian Eismann explains, reducing time spent on administration was essential to maintaining momentum and ensuring the organization could continue delivering value to its community.

The Solution

Join It provided a practical and reliable membership management platform that simplified operations from day one. Trondheim Jazzforum implemented automated workflows for membership sales and member tracking, enabling them to sell memberships directly through their website while keeping an up-to-date member registry without any manual input.

"It continues to function as a reliable and efficient tool for managing memberships and maintaining a clear overview of our members," says Eismann.

"Its practicality stands out, allowing us to handle administrative tasks smoothly and with minimal effort."

By centralizing membership management and automating payments and record-keeping, Join It removed the need for manual data entry and reduced the risk of errors across the board.

The Results

Administrative Workload Reduced Through Automation

Processes that once required manual handling now run automatically in the background. The team no longer needs to dedicate volunteer hours to chasing payments, updating records, or managing membership lists by hand.

"Tasks that would otherwise require time-consuming manual handling are now taken care of seamlessly in the background," says Eismann.

"As a result, we save time, reduce the risk of errors, and can focus more on our core activities."

Online Membership Sales Enabled

Members can now join directly through the organization's website, with payments and registration handled automatically by Join It. This removed a significant barrier to entry and made the process straightforward for both new members and the team managing them.

Member Recruitment and Retention Supported

A simpler signup experience has had a measurable effect on community engagement. By lowering the barrier to join, Join It helps sustain participation and activity within the Trondheim jazz scene.

"Making the signup process easy and seamless supports both recruitment and retention, contributing to a more active and engaged organization overall," Eismann notes.

Looking Ahead

Trondheim Jazzforum continues to rely on Join It as a core part of its operations, with the platform supporting both its administrative needs and its broader community mission. For a volunteer-led organization where every hour counts, the ability to run membership management in the background remains a meaningful and ongoing advantage.
