Activity Messenger is a Canadian-based alternative to Jackrabbit for online registrations that stores users data in Canada.
In this article, we’ll compare Jackrabbit and Activity Messenger as options for Canadian Dance studios, Swim schools and Gymnastics Clubs.
Activity Messenger streamlines online registration and payments just like Jackrabbit. Its customizable registration process and drag-and-drop feature allow for a personalized setup, enhancing the customer payment experience.
Managing memberships and renewals is easy with Activity Messenger. It provides a central hub for tracking member information, activity participation, and payments, simplifying subscription management. You can automate billing, send customized reminders, and manage discounts.
For attendance tracking, Activity Messenger automates the creation of attendance lists from online registrations. Staff can easily monitor attendance and keep detailed records via smartphone.
Facility booking is easy with an intuitive calendar and booking system. This reduces the hassle of manual scheduling. Electronic contracts simplify the rental process, allowing for easy confirmation and payment via mobile devices.
Activity Messenger is a Canadian class management software with dedicated customer service in Canada for the sports
This means we understand the specific needs of Canadian organizations. In contrast, Jackrabbit offers customer support in the US.
Jackrabbit only allows data storage in the US. Activity Messenger ensures that all data is stored in Canada and complies with federal privacy laws and regulations.
This is a significant benefit for Canadian dance studios, gymnastics clubs, swim schools and for their clients. Jackrabbit does not store data in Canada, which raises privacy and compliance concerns.
With a clean, minimalist and customer-centric registration path, Activity Messenger makes it easy to find the right class.
Jackrabbit was a pioneer. Modern registration platforms like Activity Messenger wouldn’t be what they are today without them.
But their interface is outdated for today’s world. It’s cluttered and there’s no easy way for parents to find the right class, especially from a smartphone.
Activity Messenger’s integration with Canva allows users to create visually appealing marketing materials and communications directly within the platform. This makes it easy to design and distribute professional-looking content.
Most registration platforms are limited to only serving your registration processes and class offering.
This means you still need to turn to paper-and-pen, Google Forms or even paid solutions such as JotForms, SmartWaiver or SurveyMonkey.
Activity Messenger does things differently.
Included in every subscription is a drag-and-drop form generator that lets you replace 99% of your paper documents.
Here are a few examples of the forms our customers have created for their participants and employees.
I’ve been where you are—jumping between apps, losing track of data, and wasting valuable time. That’s why we created Activity Messenger.
It’s more than just a registration platform; it’s a toolkit for running your business smoothly.
But we’re not just about replacing Mailchimp, SurveyMonkey, Eventbrite, Jotform and SmartWaiver.
Our clients rave about being able to see everything—from registrations to waivers to email blasts—in one unified dashboard.
It’s like having a command center for your business without the hefty price tag.
Jackrabbit also understands the importance of these other tools. In fact, they wrote a blog article about it. But they expect you to pay extra, learn another tool and not have all you data in the same place.
Imagine if you could delegate those time-consuming administrative tasks – like collecting waiver signatures, membership renewals, distributing surveys, and sending start-of-session reminders – to a reliable, efficient team member (who never calls in sick)!
That’s where Activity Messenger comes in, acting as your virtual assistant. It’s like adding an extra set of hands to your team without the extra payroll.
With just a few clicks:
It’s about eliminating the mundane and repetitive tasks while adding value to your customer’s experience through better communication.
You do less, AND your customer experience improves.
