ABC Financial Offers Custom Membership Apps for Facebook

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ABC Financial, the leading software and payment processing provider to the health and fitness industry, has partnered with Fantastic Fan Sites, creators of custom Facebook pages and business applications, to provide ABC clients with custom membership sales apps designed exclusively for the Facebook platform.

The app features a club-branded Facebook page that enables clubs to fully integrate sales, prospecting and referrals using the viral power of social media. Users can join online through Facebook using DataTrak Club Management Software while securely managing their billing account with MYiCLUBonline. Apps for ABC's partnering service providers - InTouch Follow Up and FitRewards Incentive Program - complete the package but are not required for clubs who don't yet utilize these additional services.

"With the number of global Facebook users approaching 1 billion, the vast majority of our clients are using Facebook to interact daily with their members and friends. It makes sense to provide our clients with a social media solution that integrates sales and prospecting with our club management software," says ABC's Senior Vice President, Steve Ayers.

Sherry Robb, creator of Fantastic Fan Sites adds, "Our partnership with ABC Financial is a perfect fit as they provide a meaningful, measurable sales extension for our Facebook marketing and content services. Lead generation, follow up marketing and direct sales are now achievable without ever asking the mobile user to leave the Facebook platform."

Health clubs wishing to test drive a membership page should browse ABC's Fantastic Fan Site at Facebook.com/abcfinancialservices. And for those wishing to take advantage of this technology may contact Fantastic Fan Sites directly at (250) 862.3640 or fill out a simple request form at www.FantasticFanSites.com/abcapps.
