Are you member of the PTO? Are you the soccer mom or room mom? How about a church group, charity or campaign group? GroupGel can help “gel” your group!
GroupGel is a free on-line app where you can add all the members of a group and keep all your activities in check. You can even add all your neighbors and make a community group. The neighborhood I live in does this already and it’s a great tool to meet new neighbors, plan a block party. You can even place items to sell or buy on there. We had a Halloween Party and this helped us organize it and see what people were bringing to the party.
GroupGel was founded by John Marshall, a group groupie, event coordinator, committee chair, and volunteer extraordinaire. He served on numerous groups and wanted to make it easier for groups to stay in touch.
So…how do you get started? It’s super easy and did I say Free?? First choose your group and mail out invites to all the members.
You can send messages to all members or select members. When you post a topic, you can post it for everyone to see, email it or even text it, depending on the urgency of the message. I like this feature.
(Here is a screenshot of my group. I created one for my daughter’s class.)
Scheduling an event is easy too. When members receive your event invite, it’s a simple click for them to respond. Collect and track RSVPs. Send reminders based on RSVP status.
You can create surveys and interest forms. This can help plan future functions.
Create sign up and ask for volunteers or donations. All information is kept in one simple place for all to see.
I signed up and created my account. It was a very easy set up. I would recommend giving it a try! Just go to GroupGel and click on the big, orange “Get Started” button. Make sure to check out the tour.
This post is sponsored by GroupGel. I really like the idea! opinions are my own.
These types of apps are so helpful when you have a large group to get together. I hate trying to send out emails!
Sounds great!
I’m on the PTO, head a committee, and room mom, but have been using SignUpGenius… I’ll check this out, though. Thanks!
I’m a part of our school’s PTA and this seems like a great way to keep everyone up to date on events, meetings and projects. I am going to pass this information on to our president. Thanks!
Wow, so much easier than it used to be.
This is a great idea and looks like a good way to stay connected with everyone.
Interesting, I might need to check out that calendar!
I’m thinking that room moms and school committees would be well served by using this!
This would be perfect for traveling with a group of girlfriends. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great idea- for so many organizations. Girl scout leaders, church stuff. Thank you!
This would definitely help room helpers and other busy people.
What a helpful app! I belong to several groups and this would be a great time saver.
Very helpful especially with most of us living such busy lifes.
This is a MUST HAVE – I can’t imagine life before we had all this technology to “gel” everything together!
Awesome!
this is a great idea!
This sounds like a cool app!
