I was asked to plan a party a few weeks ago, and I realized this morning that I should write a quick something about how Jumpswap can be used to (in fact was used) to plan a college party or get together.

First, a backdrop on the situations we think Jumpswap helps solve:

I don’t know about you, but it seemed like a lot of our college group’s get-together’s and fund raising events were unsuccessful - or at least - not as successful as they should have been. Someone would be assigned a task (plan a car wash for example) but, when the time came to actually start scrubbing not everything was in place. One person would be in charge and tell someone else briefly that they were in charge of collecting buckets, soap and supplies, another person was told they had to do marketing for the car wash. Everything was discussed in person, briefly, not written down, not formally assigned, and when the car wash was turned into a wash, everyone starts pointing fingers.

It sucks… and its really just a communication issue - not an issue with any of our members.

Jumpswap Can Help

Jumpswap has helped us plan a number of successful college campus events. With Jumpswap you can login and create an event. Within the events section we also have created a discussion board so all of your members can talk about the event, issues can be discussed and recorded. From there you can then create a committee to work on certain things relating to that event, and then, if you are in charge of certain aspects of your college party or fund raising event, assign your crew to-dos or tasks to make sure everything stays on target.
