Zairmail and WebLink International Join Forces to Automate Postal Mail for Chambers of Commerce

Portland, Ore. - Jan. 22, 2002 - Building on its strategy to make postal mail more convenient for businesses and organizations, Zairmail, Inc. today announced a partnership with WebLink International, Inc., the largest provider of Internet website services to chambers of commerce around the country. Under the terms of the agreement, WebLink International will offer Zairmail Express Direct(TM) direct mail service to chambers of commerce throughout the United States, providing a powerful tool for chambers to inform local businesses of issues and events in their communities.

"Zairmail is a great addition to our suite of services," said John (DJ) Muller, President and CEO of WebLink International. "Our Chamber WebLink software succeeds by making chambers of commerce more effective through advanced Internet technology. Email is great, but sometimes it is more effective to send printed materials such as a flyer or invitation. For those occasions, Zairmail is the fastest way to go."

"Zairmail is excited to be working with WebLink International," said Wilson Zehr, CEO of Zairmail. "WebLink International is clearly the leader in empowering chambers of commerce to handle their tasks more effectively. We are proud to help advance that goal, because when chambers of commerce succeed, their members succeed as well."

WebLink International is the leading developer of integrated website software systems designed specifically for the Chamber of Commerce and associations. Its clients include over 250 chambers throughout the United States, representing about 400,000 businesses. In addition to website design and development, WebLink International's proprietary Chamber WebLink software technology allows chambers to manage their membership lists, schedule events, and communicate with businesses in their area.

To broaden this capability even further, WebLink International now offers Zairmail's Express Direct service on their website at http://www.chamberweblink.com . Using Zairmail Express Direct, users can send postal mail (such as letters, postcards and flyers) to hundreds the three weeks or more required by traditional printing and mailing processes.
