Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

From Dictionary of Marketing Terms: member-get-a-member (MGM)
organization or customer recruitment technique that offers an incentive to current members for referring new members. For example, book club MGM promotions offer discounts on books to members who successfully recruit new members.
https://www.allbusiness.com/barrons_dictionary/dictionary-me...
Type of marketing strategy focused on facilitating clients or members of an organization to bring new members or customers. They usually offer an advantage or a prize to the person acting as a promoter, which can be a discount, a gift or some other type of recognition.
The specialists distinguish this type of campaigns from the "refer-a-friend" strategies, in which the people who bring new clients do not necessarily have to be, themselves, previous clients.

Be a member, bring a member! And you will be offered incentives for that.

"why do we say member GET a member" - grammatically speaking it is an exclamation followed by an imperative sentence. First it is an exclamation "member!" to attaract attention of the existing members, and then it is an imperative sentence "get(=bring) a member" which is more of an invitation to bring a new member, not a real command. So "member GETS member" does not make sense here. The function of the slogan is different. It also sounds like a marketing catchy phrase due to the repetition of "member .... member". Hope it answers the question now.

It is a marketing campaign name, not a sentence, therefore it doesn't have to follow grammar rules.
Someone has also asked the question in KudoZ why “Match Light Charcoal”, and not “Match-lighted Charcoal”.
