logo_82Are you looking for a way to connect with people in your local area that share your interests or passion. If so you may be interested to know about an online solution that helps bring people together offline.

Meetup is a web-based solution that helps people organize and manage groups online in their own local area so they can get together offline and interact in a face to face situation.

Meetup helps you find like minded people who share your interests and gives you a way to easily run and manage the group as it grows including complete control over who joins your group.

Each Meetup group includes an easy to customize search engine optimized website complete with message boards, mailing lists and tools to promote and publicize your group.

Here’s what Meet-up has to say about themselves:

About Meetup

Meetup is the world’s largest network of local groups. Meetup makes it easy for anyone to organize a local group or find one of the thousands already meeting up face-to-face. More than 2,000 groups get together in local communities each day, each one with the goal of improving themselves or their communities.

Meetup’s mission is to revitalize local community and help people around the world self-organize. Meetup believes that people can change their personal world, or the whole world, by organizing themselves into groups that are powerful enough to make a difference.

Learn more on the MeetupHQ Blog.

From what I’ve seen so far Meetup is a brilliant idea that’s being developed by a very dedicated group of internet professionals. So if what they offer appeals to you I highly recommend visiting the Meetup site and checking Meetup out. If you can’t find a group for your interests in your area you can always start your own.

Why Not Sponsor a Meetup Group

Meetup also provides local area businesses a unique opportunity to show their community spirit by sponsoring a Meetup group right in their own community.

As a Sponsor, you can support these local Meetup Groups by providing anything from financial support to a place for their group to meet. In return, groups can display your logo on their pages and you’ll engage with passionate people who have the ability to become loyal to your brand or business.

So whether you want to sponsor the local Moms Meetup around the corner from your store or 100 of the most active hiking Meetups nationwide, Meetup sponsorships provides a solution for you. For more information on becoming a sponsor click here.
