Groups connect you to your customers, helping you support and inform them, open communications for marketing, product announcements, events and make everyone feel a part of your SL dream. Yet the task of managing your Second Life groups, inviting everyone that should be part of your groups, can be daunting.  It becomes more difficult and time consuming as your Second Life business becomes larger.  Add the complexity of the multiple groups with multiple roles required by the entrepreneur, and managing invitations for your growing business becomes an administrative nightmare. Unless you use a little MAGIC. MAGIC, the Multi-Avatar Group Invitation Coordinator, is Temporal Gadget's elegant solution to the group challenge.  MAGIC or MAGIC with Metrics (statistical reports) is a subscription service that comes with scripted plugins for most major vendor, rental and greeter systems.  For one low price, you can automate group invitations in dozens of ways, at almost any point in your sales/rental/delivery process.  The system gives you all the options you need to manage your group invitations for up to 25 different groups, both open and closed enrollment, even multiple roles.   It's simple to set up, self-maintaining, and gives you that key factor business owners truly appreciate --It's affordable.  One low price for unlimited group invitations within your 25 groups. MAGIC invites customers to your groups when they buy your product, rent your space, cross your threshold -- whenever you decide. Use a JEVN vendor, or rent through Hippo-Tech?  Sell through SL Marketplace?  MAGIC handles most of SL's major tools with ease. And these are genuine invitations, too -- not just a list of names you must act on later. When someone triggers any of your installed plugins or devices, an off world MAGIC Bot appears within seconds to offer the invitation, whether one person or a hundred people hit the trigger.  All of our plugins and devices give your customers the ability to opt out of an invitation, so it is never abusive or intrusive. MAGIC can even eject a temporary tenant from your mall or resident tenants group when a rental lease expires or is terminated - - after smartly checking for other leases that the customer may have . So don't work on your groups -- put your groups to work for you.  All you need is a little MAGIC. 1.1  Terms and Conditions for use of  the MAGIC subscription service:   A)  Subscribers must be an owner or officer of every group that their Alt manages.

Second, set up the MAGIC Server, the heart of your MAGIC Group Inviter System. Third, return the MAGIC Group Inviter System Subscription Token to Temporal Industries. This activates your service. Fourth, set up the MAGIC devices and/or plugins that will trigger the Group Invites when your customers interact with them. This interaction can be when they buy from a vendor, rent a space, pass an area, purchase on SL Exchange, touch an object -- or all of these. And Abracadabra -- you're done! All your groups are MAGICally managed.
