For Clubs and Communities
Reliable domain hosting: If your site is down or slow, it will quickly frustrate potential new members. Motorpool will host your club site using your existing URL, on our fast, secure, state-of-the-art servers. Our six facilities are backed up continuously, and are dispersed in locations across the country for added security and server speed.
Design help: Professional-looking websites take a tremendous commitment in time and resources. As the web has grown and become more complicated, so too has the task of webmaster. What once was a job for one person is now a task for many: programmers, monitors, editors, designers, and of course, the users themselves. Motorpool's industry-leading graphic designers will help your club design a site that is easy and simple for your members to use, yet full of robust resources that few other sites can match.
Easy image hosting: Pictures and video require massive and expensive bandwidth. Motorpool's image uploading system is easy to use and will make it easier for your membership to add pictures to forums, classifieds, and messages. More pictures equals better search engine optimization and higher user satisfaction.
Forum hosting: Motorpool can update your club's chat and technical forums so that your content is search-engine optimized on the web. We'll also give your organization total control over who can access the forum to insure the quality/tone of the discussions. Our patent-pending technology is the industry leader and unmatched by any other competitor.
Email Tools: Remind your membership about upcoming events. Take a poll on an important club topic. Convey critical club news or highlight a recent tour. Motorpool will supply your club with email tools to connect your membership and find potential new members through viral marketing.
Digitize your content: Your club's newsletter is full of content that will attract new members to your club. Almost every issue features technical articles, car write-ups, designer notes, manufacturing history, and authenticity lessons. Yet that information often sits on a collector's shelf, where it's hard to reference, difficult to locate, and easy to forget. Motorpool can help your club put that content to use in an easy-to-use reference library.
Reach a New Audience: By partnering with Motorpool, your club will reach an entirely new audience of fans and enthusiasts. The first and largest social network for collector car enthusiasts, Motorpool can target fans of classic cars, brass-era automobiles, fifties chrome-mobiles, or any number of variants. Not only will Motorpool steer like-minded owners to your club's website, but we'll also promote the club and its activities on our message boards, weekly emails, and editorial calendar.
Expand the Reach of Your Classifieds. Make your ads more powerful by publishing them on the Motorpool system. By partnering with Motorpool, your member's ads will extend in reach by up to 10 times. Better response will equal more classified revenue for your club and greater member satisfaction.
Events Calendar Motorpool has created the automotive world's only events calendar that is searchable by location, proximity, type of event, or time period. What do that mean for your members? They can easily find (and submit) events in their area by simply typing in a zip code or scrolling through an interactive map. Need directions? No problem. Motorpool's maps run on Google technology and can easily produce driving directions.
