Bringing Members Together. Increasing Engagement. GroupValet is a virtual assistant for your groups and activities. Using GroupValet's website and app, you can automate the entire process of getting people signed up for any kind of activity. Create your group, add group members and create your activity - that's it. GroupValet automates the process of getting your members to sign up and even sends reminders about the activities they've signed up for to help prevent no-shows. But GroupValet is for more than just groups. Clubs and other organizations can use GroupValet to manage official events, such as tournaments, Board and committee meetings, Demo Days and much more. Members can also book services through GroupValet, which is perfect for lessons, personal trainers, or other 3rd party services. If you’re a club that has a membership roster, GroupValet can help you manage all your groups and activities while also providing new marketing channels for you. Whether you belong to a club or not, you can start using GroupValet right now. Create your group on our website at www.groupvalet.com and then your members can use our free app to sign up for all your activities. Your activity can be one-time, or it can repeat on virtually any schedule. You can even schedule it seasonally so your weekly golf game can automatically start up in October and end in May each year. You create the activity once and GroupValet takes it from there. You can also ask your members questions when they sign up, such as "Are you bringing any guests?" or "What are your guests names?" or "Would you like the chicken or the beef?". At the end of the signup period (that you define), you'll receive an email list that shows everyone who signed up along with the answers to any questions you asked during the signup process. Dump your spreadsheet and hand-written notes and manage your groups and activities the easy way with GroupValet.
