Reactivation

You're not losing members toΒ competitors.
You're losing them toΒ inertia.

Whether it's empty courts, half-full classes, or leagues short on subs β€” you're losing revenue and members to the same invisible problem: nobody's personally coordinating them.

πŸͺ‘

Empty slots bleed revenue

Every unfilled court hour, open class spot, or short-roster game is money gone. You can't staff enough people to personally chase every member β€” and blast messages don't convert.

30-40%
Average no-show rate for recurring sessions
πŸ“‰

Members ghost without warning

They sign up excited, show up twice, then disappear. Your front desk finds out when they cancel β€” not when they started drifting. By then it's too late.

67%
of members churn within 90 days without personal engagement
⏰

Coordination buries your team

RSVPs, subs, waitlists, reminders, cancellation backfills, carpool sorting β€” your staff spends more time on logistics than on the community itself.

15+ hrs
Per week spent on manual member coordination
πŸ“¦

Growth hits a ceiling

You've maxed out your existing audience. Social posts get diminishing returns. You need new members who'd actually show up β€” people already active in other communities nearby who don't know you exist yet.

80%

An AI concierge that knows every member and never stops working

Branch operates over iMessage - the channel everyone already uses. No apps. No logins. Just natural, 1:1 conversations that get people off the couch and into your venue.

1

Personalized nudges, not blasts

Every message is tailored to the individual - their schedule, their friends, their activity history. No more one-size-fits-all spam.

2

No-show risk prediction

Branch detects disengagement before it happens and intervenes with the right message at the right time to prevent drop-off.

3

Automatic slot filling

Someone cancels? Branch instantly reaches out to the next best-fit member to fill the spot. No manual scrambling.

4

Reactivation engine

Lapsed members get personalized re-engagement sequences. Branch brings people back before they even realize they've drifted.

5

Cross-community intelligence

Branch sees patterns across every community on its network. When your Thursday evening slot is empty, Branch already knows 12 people in other communities who'd love it - and texts them.

You don't know why members leave.
Branch does.

Every text, RSVP, no-show, and reply builds a living map of your community. Branch surfaces what's actually driving attendance β€” and what's killing it β€” so you stop guessing and start knowing.

πŸ“‰

Churn risk detection

"David hasn't attended in 14 days. His engagement score dropped 40% this week." Branch sees disengagement before you do and acts on it automatically.

πŸ”—

Social graph mapping

"Sarah brings 2.3 people per event on average. She's your #1 connector." Know who your community actually revolves around β€” not who you think it does.

⏱️

Optimal timing intelligence

"Thursday 6:30pm converts 2x better than Thursday 7:30pm for your audience." Branch learns when YOUR members actually show up, not industry averages.

πŸ“ˆ

Nudge effectiveness

"Weather-day reminders lift attendance 34% for your group. Generic reminders lift 8%." See which sequences move the needle and which are noise.

πŸ’°

Revenue attribution

"Branch drove 47 incremental attendees this month. Estimated recovered revenue: $2,820." Not vanity metrics. Settlement-grade attendance data tied to dollars.

AI-powered
3

Watch attendance climb

Branch starts filling courts, packing events, and reactivating lapsed members. You get a dashboard. Your members get a concierge.

Fully automated

Who it's for

If you run weekly meetups for 20-300 people, Branch drives attendance, keeps members active, and kills the busywork - all over iMessage.

🎾

Padel & Racquet Clubs

Padel, pickleball, tennis

Every empty court is $30-60/hr evaporating. Branch fills cancellations instantly, matches players by skill level, and texts the right people at the right time to keep every slot booked.

⚽

Social Sports Leagues

Soccer, volleyball, kickball, flag football

Roster management, sub finding, and rainout coordination over text β€” not buried in a group chat. Branch keeps teams full, handles last-minute drops, and drives repeat season signups.

πŸ’ͺ

Boutique Fitness & Studios

CrossFit boxes, yoga studios, cycling, F45

No-shows cost you the slot AND the member. Branch sends personalized nudges that convert uncommitted members into booked regulars, and reactivates members before they cancel.

🏒

Community Centers & Membership Orgs

Rec centers, membership clubs

Your staff is buried in emails, sign-up sheets, and phone calls across high programming loads every week. Branch handles RSVPs, reminders, waitlists, and cancellation backfills over text β€” freeing staff hours every week while driving consistent turnout across your full programming slate.

πŸ₯‚

Social & Connection Communities

Speed dating, friend-matching, social clubs, dinner parties

Your event breaks if the headcount is wrong β€” one empty seat throws off the whole experience. Branch manages waitlists, balances groups, confirms attendance day-of, and follows up to convert one-timers into repeat members.

🎀

Entertainment & Event Venues

Comedy nights, open mics, recurring events

Fill off-peak nights and build a regulars list that actually shows up. Branch texts the right audience for each event type and tracks what drives real butts-in-seats, not just RSVPs.

Host engines that drive real-world results

Run bigger, stickier meetups while Branch quietly handles the busywork over text.

🎯

Attendance Engine

Timed nudges, calendar holds, and RSVP sequences that convert "maybe" into "I'm in" and cut no-shows.

🌱

Member Growth System

QR joins, shareable iMessage invites, and plus-one flows that turn guests and waitlists into members.

πŸ”

Retention & Re-engagement

Post-event check-ins, streaks, and lightweight polls keep conversations warm and members coming back.

πŸ€–

Coordination Agent

Answers FAQs, sends reminders, sorts carpools and waitlists, and escalates only the edge cases to you.

πŸ“Š

Host Command Center

Unified inbox for announcements and replies, event posting, ticketing, and a clean view of who's active.

πŸ”

Insights & Attribution

See attendance lift, churn risk, and growth sources. Track what drove each member to show up - no spreadsheets.

Every community on Branch makes yours stronger

Branch doesn't just coordinate your members. It builds a cross-community intelligence layer that gets smarter with every group that joins.

Your Community Intelligence

Branch learns who your members are, when they're active, what they like, and who they know. This powers personalized nudges that fill your events.

Shared Network Intelligence

When you opt into the Branch network, your community gains access to insights from every other community on Branch. Members who love padel might love your pickleball nights. Branch finds those fits and routes them to you.

The Flywheel

More communities = more members in the graph = better personalization for everyone = higher attendance everywhere. Your community gets smarter every time another operator joins Branch.

Sarah joined a run club on Branch. Branch learned she's free Thursday evenings and lives near downtown. When your Thursday social had 3 empty spots, Branch texted Sarah about it β€” even though she'd never heard of your group. She came. She loved it. She's been back every week.

The network grows your community for you.

Answers for hosts

What is Branch in one sentence?+
An iMessage-based coordinator that gets more people to show up, keeps them engaged between events, and removes host busywork.
Do members need to install an app?+
No. It's all over iMessage. Hosts get a dashboard; members just text.
How does the agent actually help?+
Over text, it answers FAQs, sends reminders, sorts carpools and waitlists, collects quick responses like polls, and escalates edge cases to the host only when needed.
How fast can we launch?+
Most groups go live the same week: import members via CSV or QR join, set the next event, turn on nudges. The agent learns your cadence as you go.
We already use a group chat or email list - why Branch?+
Group chats bury logistics; email gets ignored. Branch is purpose-built to convert intent into attendance and offload coordination via iMessage.
Can Branch handle ticketing or paid events?+
Yes - hosts can set up paid or free events and manage RSVPs and check-ins. Payouts flow to the host's connected account.
How do you measure impact?+
Attendance lift, RSVP conversion, reactivation rate, churn risk flags, and hours saved from automated flows - all visible in the dashboard.
What does pricing look like?+
Simple monthly plans per community, with performance-based partnerships available for additional membership growth. Book a demo and we'll walk through what makes sense for your setup.
What's the difference between Private Mode and Network Mode?+
Private Mode keeps everything within your community - Branch coordinates your members, fills your events, and handles your comms. Network Mode does all of that PLUS connects you to Branch's cross-community graph. When other communities have members who'd be a fit for your events, Branch routes them to you. You only pay for incremental attendance.
Does Network Mode share my member data with other communities?+
No. Your member list, conversations, and event data stay private. Network Mode works on anonymized intent and preference signals - Branch knows 'someone who likes padel and is free Thursdays' without sharing who that person is or which community they came from.
How does cross-community routing actually work?+
When a member on Branch shows interest patterns that match your events - right activity, right time, right location - Branch texts them about your event as a personalized recommendation. If they RSVP, you see them as a new attendee. It feels organic to the member and incremental to you.
Is this compliant with messaging rules?+
Yes. Members opt in, can reply STOP or HELP anytime, and messages follow carrier guidelines. We support per-community consent flows.
Does Branch work across multiple cities?+
Yes. You can run per-city cohorts, target messages by location, and spin up city-specific events from the same dashboard.
