ThePort Releases Social Media Case Study with National Portable Storage Association
ThePort Releases Social Media Case Study with National Portable Storage Association
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 9, 2009 -- ThePort Network (www.theport.com) released today a case study outlining why the National Portable Storage Association (NPSA) (www.npsa.org) has launched a social networking community in its website using technology from social media solutions provider ThePort Network. The study can be downloaded free of charge at http://www.theport.com/npsa_casestudy.aspx.
NPSA's fully integrated community supports member engagement and information sharing among association members.
The NPSA is a nonprofit membership association dedicated to the advancement of the portable storage industry. Using the new social community, NPSA members can develop their own unique profile pages and network with others, including the ability to participate in forums and sub-groups focused around sharing key business information. Members can also upload photos and publish their own blogs about local business news or virtually any topic.
NPSA cited its primary reasons for selecting ThePort Network as its social media partner were ThePort's ability to integrate with Avectra's association management system and extensive feature set to help members become more involved with NPSA.
The social community was unveiled to members at the 2009 NPSA national conference in Santa Barbara, Calif. in May.
ThePort's social media platform is designed for rapid deployment and provides organizations with a fully branded social community that is completely integrated with existing websites and back-end member-management databases. Members sign into the community using their existing username and password, and can begin immediately to collaborate and share with others.
"Especially now, as associations look for new ways to retain and acquire members, social communities can add significant, ongoing value and extend participation beyond just a single annual event," said Bob Cramer , CEO and Co-Founder of ThePort Network. "We are very pleased NPSA selected ThePort to transform its existing website into an online social networking location for its members."
