Hook'em Up

This is how it all starts: increase the number of members in your online community, improve the accuracy and variety of your data, and keep members coming back.

Collecting and managing names and personal data can be expensive and time-consuming. IAC's revolutionary new eCRM tool, Pinball Directory, automatically uses powerful techniques such as viral marketing and push/pull communications to gather data, build your community and manage relationship –with minimal administration time and lower operational costs.

Pinball Directory includes 10 proven tools to build and network your online community:

1. Quick Registration – easy-to-use fillable forms that allow alumni to set up and maintain their own personal information, as well as select privacy levels
2. ePages – send electronic messages to friends and group members that appear the next time they visit
3. Blind Email – protects the privacy of broadcast or redirected email recipients
4. Advanced Search – multiple ways to find and identify others in the directory
5. eAlerts – allow members to identify areas of specific interest (sports news, job postings, reunion notices, etc.) and receive an email alert when new information is available
6. Hints & Reminders – banners directing members to new or under-used areas of your site, asking for participation in membership campaigns, or other top priorities
7. Personal Pals – personalized links to a member's affinity groups (classmates, committees, etc.) for easy communication
8. eMessage Center – a quick look at new messages and alerts; can be member-controlled
9. Simple Search – lets members quickly search your site for information
10. MyProfile Page – personalized profile information with private and public views
