Eight tips to welcome new members and strengthen the hobby

The best way to recruit new members is to share your collecting story and emphasize what APS membership means to you – make it personal!  Every story shared is a chance to welcome a new collector to our community.

Recruiting new collectors can be as simple as (but not limited to):

1. Share your collecting story and give an application to join to a friend;
2. Share a stamp with someone of a topic of interest (does your colleague love cats, lighthouses, Star Wars….give them a stamp of the topic);
3. Share a podcast story, an interesting article or a copy of “The American Philatelist”;
4. Share why you are a proud member of APS or about an APS service that really helped you;
5. Share resources from stamps.org – U.S. New Stamp Issues, event calendar, buying and selling opportunities, etc. and invite them to join online.
