Features
Internet Connection: e-Associate
Imagine if you will … a virtual realm where your association directory is available on the Internet; a web interface designed so that a few clicks of the mouse can connect members of your association to prospective clients around the world, across the state or within your city.
e-Associate provides the public a simple means to search your membership and find members who suit their needs. This interface also gives your members the ability to select association benefits without leaving their office. In the near future your members will either get many of their benefits from your web site or from another association’s web site. If they are using another association’s web site then you will be losing members.
Also, the Internet gives you the ability to add new services that were previously not cost-effective. Therefore, with the Internet you not only can keep your members from going to other associations for services, you can also attract new ones with the new benefits.
By using The Associate and e-Associate, all of these benefits can be added, without adding additional work for your employees. For a comparatively low price you can generate new fees for your association.
