A Groupable Moment…

Just Another NY Jelly, this one in Brooklyn

On Friday, a buddy of mine was hosting a jelly at his Park Slope manse (2 bdr apt). He registered the Park Slope Jellyers as a group on Groupable. I emailed and asked if the assembled group could use some pizza. Shockingly, he said, yes. So, I used groupable’s sponsor account to offer to send some pies and soda pop in exchange for a sentence about what groupable could do for their group….Simple sponsorship idea, yes?

Here’s what happened…

They accepted the sponsorship offer and ate the pizza. They also had some really nice things to say. Would they have been so nice were it not for the pizza? I guess we’ll never know…

• Groupable would be great for me finding event sponsorship for my Cupcakes Take The Cake monthly meetups. I also know other food bloggers who can use this service.

• Groupable, at it’s conceptual level, totally lines up with what we hope to do at Philanthromedia: Link people with money with people who have great ideas directly, instead of philanthropic giving being based on who knows whom. It’s exciting for me to see the realization of the ideals of web-transparency along these lines: direct connections based on common goals and great ideas!

• Groupable is a perfect match for the growing sport and social league movement! Corporate sponsorship presents a great opportunity for teams looking to expand the social aspect of their weekly games and outings.

• Groupable is a great channel for finding companies interested in reaching out to people who attend my events. I can plan better events and help companies increase their visibility with potential customers at the same time.

• Groupable is a great way to pull people together for a common cause and connect those people with parties interested in supporting that cause. It’s win win for individuals and sponsors alike.

• Groupable is exactly what our startup needs. Our customers each have their own businesses and many of them could really benefit from Groupable’s offering.
