The Challenge

Every social network faces challenges around how to attract new members, keep current members loyal and motivated, and provide community applications that enhance brand identity and extends the length of time a member stays inside the community portal. 

The Solution

Mail2World’s private-label messaging and collaboration service is a natural addition to an online social platform.  It is a powerful, anywhere/anytime communication tool that unites and energizes current members of a social network, builds membership and generates new revenue streams.

Mail2World’sMessaging Hosting Platform™ is massively scalable, highly secure and fully customizable―yet simple and rapid to deploy. By incorporating our advanced messaging and collaboration technology into your online platform, you gain:

1. An immediate, high-impact differentiator that sharpens your competitive edge against other social networks.
2. An increase in the length of time a user stays inside the community environment. Full-featured messaging enables users to communicate with social network members and aggregate their messages from other email accounts, such as Gmail, Yahoo! and Hotmail inside a new, unified message center.   
3. Extension of your brand outside the social network when members provide their portal email address to friends and family outside the community environment.

By outsourcing to Mail2World, an expert in hosted messaging, there's no hardware or software to purchase, install or maintain, and our experienced team will work with your team to manage the integration process. In addition, administrators always maintain full administrative control through our modular feature set and are able to generate real-time reports and statistics in our easy-to-use Online Control Center. 

Feature Highlights for Marketing

• Richest feature set: Increase customer loyalty with the richest Webmail and mobile mail feature set in the industry, including Email-to-SMS, calendar and PIM tools, contacts manager, shared folders (podcasts, videos, pictures and file documents), blog and RSS. 
• Brand recognition: Extend brand recognition of your social network outside the portal when members communicate with their friends using their new email address (e.g. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
