In today's digital age, effective communication is key to successful membership management, and at dueli we understand the power of direct and instant messaging. That's why we've prioritised the use of SMS notifications within our platform.
Where emails can get lost in the clutter of overflowing inboxes, SMS reminders offer a far more reliable and efficient way to reach your members. With dueli, your members will receive timely SMS reminders about their membership renewals. These messages have significantly higher open rates compared to emails ensuring that your reminders will be seen and acted upon. By offering a more direct line of communication, we help to keep members informed and engaged, improving member retention, streamlining membership renewals and increasing satisfaction.
Not only do SMS reminders benefit your members, but they also simplify your membership management processes. By automating this communication channel, our platform frees up your staff to focus on other tasks at hand.
Choose our innovative dueli Smart Membership platform to improve your communication efficiency, enhance member engagement and to streamline your overall management processes.

CEO & Lead Developer
"I created dueli for 2 reasons. Firstly, as a keen golfer and software developer it frustrated me that my own golf club was still sending out paper renewal letters in the post, meaning I had to drive up to the club to make my annual subs payment when everything else I could handle on my phone.
The second reason was closer to home as my club didn't offer an affordable way for me to spread the cost over the year, which became a priority when my second child came into the picture! They said it would be too much admin, so I decided to solve the admin headache both for my club and for myself as the member / user.
Each day as a developer is about solving problems and building something that wasn't there before. I have loved seeing the direct impact of our work and helping golf clubs across the UK & Ireland develop and grow their membership base."
My LinkedIn Profile
Sales & Account Manager
My golf journey has been interesting to say the least, with most of it documented on my YouTube channel. I have shot a 58 on a simulator and remain at the time of writing this The Open champion for 2022 yet I have never broken 80 outdoors, much to the amusement of those around me! I freely admit to being a golf addict and as a right handed golfer who currently putts left handed with a broomstick putter I am certainly not your typical golfer.
Opening up access to the game of golf is something I have always been passionate about and to combine my experience from 18+ years of IT sales and account management with my passion for golf is a very natural, and exciting step for me. I will continually strive to understand your needs and to be relied upon to look after your best interest at all times."

"I'm more of a beginner golfer and looking forward to getting into it more. Having grown up in a golfing family I can see how much a club means to the members and I love being part of making that member - club relationship work for our clients.
My role in HR and Legal involves making our workplace as productive and pleasant as possible. It's a great feeling to know I've made a positive impact on someone's day."
