## Think Like a Business Owner
As a running club owner, you're running a business. Stridee is built with this mindset:
- **Own your contacts**: Your members are YOUR customers. Export your member list anytime, send newsletters, build relationships outside the platform.
- **Monetize your community**: Create paid memberships, charge for events, and build a sustainable club.
- **Connect with sponsors**: We help you find and connect with brands looking to sponsor running clubs and events.
- **Free routes for all**: Share GPX files with your community without asking them to pay for a subscription.
- **Capture the moments**: Upload photos and videos from your events so participants can relive and share their experience.
## When to Choose Strava
Strava might be a better fit if:
- **You run your club purely for fun**: If you're not thinking about memberships, payments, or growing sustainably, Strava's simplicity works.
- **You need help with discovery**: Strava has a large built-in audience. We don't help much with promoting your events—you need to bring your own community.
