Everyone knows email is messy, chat is noisy, social media is spyware, and single-purpose apps are exhausting. It doesn’t have to be this way. At GroupSpot, we’ve built the ultimate group communications platform optimized for community, utility, and privacy. Groups have all the tools they need to succeed in a single solution, whether it’s a small circle of friends or a town sports league. When it comes to group communications, you won’t find a platform with more flexibility and efficiency than GroupSpot. Here’s a few groups using GroupSpot today: Families Share meaningful moments and big wins with the wider family. You now have a home for all those moments only your cousins would care about: curtain call at the grade school play, mom crossing the finish line in the local 5k, and dad’s epic fail on the trampoline. In between, GroupSpot ensures you’re on top of Family Birthdays, Graduations, and Anniversaries. Community Groups Be a hometown hero and bring your local community into the 21st century with GroupSpot. Replace the color-coded weekly email blasts and clunky web signups with a single platform solution. Watch as engagement skyrockets simply because it’s easier to access and participate. This includes HSAs/PTAs, Newcomers, Non-Profits, Rotary Clubs, and other Community Groups. Book Clubs Unlike other book club apps looking to sell you books or collect your data, GroupSpot’s only interest is your Book Club. We make your monthly meetings great by sharing important details like discussion topics, RSVP, and host messages. We’ve also created a home for your past books where you can access, rate, and review any book ever read by your Book Club. Teams We provide all the bells and whistles you’ve come to expect with team apps like schedules, games, rosters, directions, and player availability. But GroupSpot is also great for casual groups like pickup soccer when all you care about is having enough players to field a game. Or teams that compete outside the playing field like academic teams and marching bands. Faith Groups Make your engagement with your House of Worship more than a once-a-week event by staying better connected through GroupSpot. Share inspirational scripture, preview the upcoming sermon, organize potluck dinners, plan the perfect retreat, support those in need, and more. GroupSpot also has advanced features for the engineer in all of us: • Mass Communications: Email, Pushes, In-App Alerts • Personal and Group Chat • Shared Photo Albums • Signups, Polls, Forms, RSVPs, Links, Attachments • Games, Schedules, Rosters, and Player Availability for Teams • Meetings, Books, Discussions Topics, Ratings, and Reviews for Book Clubs • Advanced Member Management • Subgroups and Sister Group Management And much more… About GroupSpot GroupSpot is working hard to become a leader in the group communications space. But behind those lofty ambitions, you’ll find real purpose. At its core, GroupSpot was designed with a single, guiding principle in mind, protecting your privacy. When you have a subscription model, there’s no incentive to mine someone’s personal data or keep them glued to their screen. We will never, ever, invade your privacy. We’ve built a privacy-first, group communications platform because we believe there is a growing number of groups who share our passion. We believe in smarter communications, ones shaped by ethical tech and social responsibility. When it comes to group communications, there are plenty of choices, but none that rival GroupSpot in purpose and design.

Snagtag Marks the Spot - Snagtag allows you tag anything you see or hear and push that content to your Snagtag inbox for immediate or future access. HOW IT WORKS: See it. Snag it. View it. Any time you see an “Snagtag”, a word or phrase preceded by an asterisk (e.g. *BeHappy, *PlayLikeAChampion, *LoveIsAllYouNeed ) enter it into the Snagtag app and have the content associated with that Snagtag placed into your Snagtag inbox for immediate or future access. EXAMPLES: - “Snagtag” a radio or TV commercial or program and get a great offer or interesting content: • You hear on the radio “Snagtag ‘KENZ’ to download today’s program” • “Snagtag ‘TodaysDeals’ to get 50% off while supplies last” - “Snagtag” a real estate sign or any “For Sale” sign and get more information regarding the item for sale: • You drive by a car that displays “*BuyMyCar”. You enter the Snagtag and get information about that specific car. • You drive by a beautiful home that displays “*Prudential302”. You enter the Snagtag and get information about that specific house. - “Snagtag” a sign in a store and get current offers for that store: • As you enter the Polo clothing store and you see a sign that reads “*PoloToday”. You enter this Snagtag and get special in store deals for that day. - “Snagtag” a person who displays their Snagtag on a shirt, a hat, a name tag or even in a tattoo, and find out what that person wants you to know about them: • You walk by an interesting looking person who has written on their shirt “*LovingLife”. You enter the Snagtag and see their favorite photos, or quotes, or videos, or a webpage with links to all of these. THERE’S MORE?: Once you’ve tagged something and put it into your inbox, the owner of that Snagtag can send you additional content related to the item you tagged in the form of a “Follow-up”. - Example - You Snagtag “*BestDealsEver” to get 25% off of an item. Hours or days later you receive a follow-up for a “Two for one” coupon. To access “Follow-up” click on the follow-up icon (colored oval with a # in it) to see related content. If you don’t want follow-up offers, don’t click on the follow-up icon or you can turn off or delete the inbox item and never receive additional information from the Snagtag owner again. CREATE YOUR OWN Snagtag: Create your own Snagtag in the mobile app. It is simple, takes 1 minute, and your Snagtags are free. Once you’ve created your own Snagtag, display it and start driving people to your passion!
