Glue Up's community management functionality is a private social media platform tailored for enterprise networking and community management. It provides a dedicated space for members to connect and collaborate, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose and facilitating business networking.

Glue Up is a complete membership management platform for association-based organizations of all sizes, from single-chapter membership organizations to multinational associations, chambers of commerce, and nonprofits.

Glue Up communities offer several benefits, including:

• Increase Retention: Glue Up helps you improve member retention by providing a valuable resource for your community. Members who feel connected to a community and access helpful resources are more likely to stay engaged.
• Increase engagement: Glue Up helps you increase member engagement by offering a dedicated space for people to connect and collaborate. When people feel part of a community, they are more likely to participate in discussions and share content.
• Protecting Community Information: Glue Up helps protect your community information by giving you control over who has access to the platform. This is especially important if your community discusses sensitive topics or shares confidential information. Glue Up's strictly private communities prevent AI bots from accessing your data, protecting it from being used to train your large language models (LLMs).

Glue Up communities include several key features, including:

• Member Profiles: Members can create profiles highlighting their skills, experience, and interests. This helps people find and connect with others who share their goals.
• Groups: Members can create and join groups based on their interests or career fields. This helps people connect with others working on similar projects or facing similar challenges.
• Private Messages: Members can send private messages to each other. This allows them to have more in-depth conversations and build stronger relationships.
• Event management: Glue Up includes tools for creating and managing events. This makes hosting webinars, conferences, and other events for your community more accessible.
• Content Management: Glue Up provides website management tools for creating and sharing content such as blog posts, articles, and videos. This allows you to keep your community informed and engaged with your website.
• Member Engagement Analytics: Glue Up includes analytics tools that provide insights into member engagement and activity. This data can be used to improve the platform and make it more relevant to the needs of your community.

A private social media platform is a closed network accessible only to invited members. This makes it a more secure and private way to communicate and collaborate with colleagues, customers, and partners. On the other hand, a public social media platform is open to anyone and can be a great way to reach a wider audience.

Glue Up offers a variety of pricing plans to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes. Please contact us for more pricing information or visit our pricing page for more information.
