WebLink Launches Social Media Platform Integrated with WebLink Connect

Membership management software provider helps organizations engage members and extend their online presence

INDIANAPOLIS — June 15, 2009 — WebLink International, a leading provider of online software for membership-based organizations, today announces the launch of their social media platform.  This robust new platform is integrated with a customer’s website and member database and enables them  to easily and affordably launch, manage, and monitor a social network and blog.

"Member based organizations have long been the voice of business for the communities they serve, but with the explosive expansion of social media, many organizations have not been able to keep pace with Internet usage trends" said WebLink International’s Chief Executive Officer, DJ Muller.  "Our social networks and blogs enable organizations to engage members and prospects by connecting and communicating with them using these new media while still leveraging their historical strengths off-line of community building, education, and networking."

WebLink has eliminated the primary challenges of launching a social network and building a thriving online community.  Integration and Speed.  By seamlessly integrating a membership database, website, and social network, a customer’s online community is pre-loaded with member profiles, interests, and groups.  Instead of launching a community and adding members one at a time, the WebLink Social Network enables customers to launch fast and have thousands of members immediately.  No other product on the market allows organizations to go from network launch to local leadership in shorter time.

WebLink Connect combines membership, event, financial, communications and Web site management, giving membership organizations all the tools they need to help their organization work more efficiently and provide greater benefits to members.

The social network and blog is available immediately and will be priced based upon membership size and a nominal set-up fee.  The pricing model affords all organizations regardless of size the ability to have a robust online network for members and business community that’s already integrated with their membership database and core operations.

"WebLink prides itself on delivering solutions to best meet the needs of member-based organizations, and it’s our belief that social networks and blogs delivered in an integrated, cost effective, and high impact way help our clients not only remain relevant but expand their influence," said WebLink International’s vice president marketing and business development, Mike Bryan. "Social networks and blogs are about sharing, listening, and connecting with people of similar interests and member-based organizations are well positioned to lead their online communities because their mission aligns so well with the key benefits of new media."
