Groups end up using multiple apps and services to do one job
- Members can’t keep up, when they’re having to check SurveyMonkey, Facebook, Evite and SignUp Genius for updates.
- Emails get caught in spam folders and text message threads become cumbersome.
Making your own app doesn’t work
- White labeling is expensive and doesn’t stay a priority.
- Organizations don’t have the resources to fix bugs and compatibility issues.
- Where do you turn when you want new funtionality?
Most top group apps charge subscription fees
- And if they don’t, you’re probably paying with your data or your time.
- Other apps employ algorithms and distractions designed to keep you mindlessly scrolling. How much is your time worth to you?
It’s hard for groups to communicate when everyone is distracted
- People aren’t getting the information they need.
- Group texts and cluttered emails fall short.
- Facebook sidetracks everyone with ads and angry news articles.
Groups need a platform that is…
Built for them
Groups are highly complex, busy entities that require a lot of lifting to run efficiently. The Jump offers nearly two-dozen features to streamline communication, improve member engagement and reduce the workload for group leaders.
High quality
There aren’t many high-quality apps for groups to choose from. There are even fewer that are free and if they are free, they usually cost time, attention and data. The Jump is 100% free for everyone, plus we’ll never sell your data or hit you with ads.
Entirely private
Most platforms don’t allow true privacy, some even going as far as using your devices to eavesdrop on your conversations, just to sell more ads. We’re committed to ethical behavior. We’ll never sell your data or serve you ads, because our revenue model doesn’t require it.
Easy to use
Let’s face it, if an app is complicated, getting your group to adopt it is going to be a struggle. We’ve designed The Jump with functionality that pleases the tech-savvy members of your group, while not intimidating the computer-illiterate.
… and ideally, free
Positive culture
- Studies show that outrage drives engagement and engagement drives revenue, so it makes sense that most social media outlets promote negativity and fuel fights. It boosts their bottom line.
- At The Jump, we don’t buy all that. We’ve designed our app to focus on happiness, not anger. Let’s celebrate the things that bring us together, rather than the things that divide.
How we’re doing it?
We’ve intentionally built a platform that helps support authentic, positive relationships. We want real people to congregate over real interests and groups they’re involved in, not get caught up in divisive politics and negative news.
It’s like your own app without all the work
Make it your own
On the app, groups have a chance to show a little personality. Create a fun Group cover, customize your Organization Profile to let everyone know who you are and add background details to your Group. Within your Group, everyone can share fun reactions, post gifs and put their own spin on more than 17 resources.
Strong member engagement
Right now, your group is probably disjointed. They’re texting other group members for event details, pulling outdated info from an email and trying to keep up on three other apps. The Jump is your chance to streamline everything and bring everyone together. By funneling all of your communication through one app, you’ll boost engagement and reduce confusion.
Unite your community
Clear communication goes a long way in making your group feel united. In fact, the number one reason volunteers and members leave a group is due to poor communication. On The Jump, we give leaders all the tools they need to be an effective leader, so they can reduce turnover and help their group can thrive.
No ads
We don’t sell your data
Let’s repeat: We will never sell your data. While the battle for online data continues, we believe it’s our ethical responsibility to create a platform that protects your data. Most people don’t even realize how much they give away!
Privacy builds trust
Those messages between you and your friend are private and we think they should stay that way. On The Jump, you won’t have to worry about prying eyes. We value our privacy and promise to honor yours, too.
Everything in one custom feed
Cuts out the clutter
Life is busy! People don’t have time to dig for information. The Jump serves up your group’s latest info – events, updates, chats and more – in a fun, bite-sized format.
All together now
All the tools you need in one place. Find important information, ask questions, get answers. No more running around multiple platforms or losing critical details!
Better than GroupMe
- As a group text tool, GroupMe works okay, if you don’t need any bells and whistles. Like The Jump, GroupMe is free to use and brings Android, Windows and iOS users together, in one place. In a chat, you’ll also find a handful of tools like events, photo sharing, polls and emojis, but that’s where the road ends.
- On The Jump, members find everything GroupMe offers and so much more. You can have one-on-one and group chats or, for larger groups, you can build a Group to organize all of your activities. In every chat and Jump, you’ll also find nearly two-dozen tools (Signups, Checklists, File sharing and Podcasts,for example) that make it easier for groups to work together.
Healthier than Facebook
- For a minute, let’s overlook the fact that Facebook is selling your data at every turn, loading your newsfeed up with ads, helping spread misinformation and eavesdropping on your conversations. You know, for the sake of conversation, let’s put a pin in all that.
- Facebook does support Group functionality, but if you’re anything like us,staying up to date is either feast or famine. Our newsfeed is either inundated with every single interaction in a given group or that group is radio silent and you’re missing everything. Where’s the balance? And don’t get us started on all the distractions jockeying for your attention over there.
- On The Jump, we’ll never betray your trust by selling your data or eavesdropping on conversations and we’ll also make sure that the Group information you care about is always easy to find.
More organized than TeamSnap
- It’s great that TeamSnap helps Coaches and Managers stay organized during the season, but the app’s social component is definitely lacking. Plus, who wants to pay $99.99/year for a Premium subscription, only to be limited to 40 members on your Roster?
- On The Jump, our app is always free and you’ll never be limited to the number of people that can be in your group. And while The Jump won’t tackle your invoicing, roster management and team statistics, we do make a great compliment to TeamSnap that will ensure your entire group — from admins and coaches to parents and players — stays connected.
Complimentary to SportsEngine
- At $69/month, SportsEngine is definitely one of the most expensive group tools on the market. (Odd considering they still hit users with ads and sell their data!) But that money does get users help with website design, online registration, financial management and league organization.
- But what if you coach multiple teams? Get ready to shell out, because that $69/month only covers one team. On The Jump, coaches will find a free social resource with the ability to be part of as many individual teams as they want.
- In conjunction with SportsEngine, teams can use The Jump to rally volunteers, brainstorm for fundraisers, plan team events and more. Plus, it’s an ideal place for participants and parents to ask questions and get quick answers.
Social version of Slack
- We love Slack! Heck, we use it all the time for work, but you know where it falls short? Everyday life. Slack is built for 9-to-5 life and that’s where it ends.
- It’s a great tool for collaborating on team projects and sharing files, but it’s not where anyone goes to connect about real life.
- On The Jump, you find authentic social interaction and file sharing, plus resources (Polls, Events, Sign ups) that enable you to bond outside of the office.
Much more robust than Email
- We don’t know about you, but our email is full before we’ve even had our first cup of coffee. Every day, we’re inundated with marketing e-blasts, bills and junk, so it’s no surprise that we sometimes overlook the really important stuff.
- Plus, if you’re like us, you’re always finding key things buried in your spam folder. (What’s up with that?!)
- Unfortunately, email isn’t the go-to messaging approach that it once was and that’s where The Jump delivers. On the app, audiences aren’t distracted by a messy inbox. Here, you get a captive audience that not only hears your message, but is more likely to engage.
