Now that you know what klllk ( >|||< ) is all about, why should you convert?

We’re directing our marketing efforts towards Gen-Zers, particularly emerging first-year college students and transfers looking for community. This issue was particularly relevant to Hector, who remembers struggling to find friends as he began his journey at Boston University. How significant the opportunity here is, as the start of college is a pivotal time for forging meaningful, intentional friendships. However, anyone can find a use for >|||<’s functionality. Friendship is a vital part of our lives and forms the basis of living with fulfillment. 

If you’re still on the fence, look at some problems klllk is actively solving. Friendship is for everyone, regardless of age, status, or personality!

It’s not just freshmen who express concern over making new friends; it’s their parents, too. At the beginning of every college fall semester, parents post in college Facebook groups detailing their concerns about the social lives of their children – or the lack thereof. Whether expressing dismay at their child’s difficulty in making new friends or finding other parents to help with transportation, it became clear that this was an avenue for us to explore. >|||< extends to the parents, too – becoming a brilliant tool for connecting and organizing with other parents and for offering a more casual alternative to clubs & organizations (hello, bookclub!). So, while your kid is meeting people through attending events based on their interests, parents can organize their existing friends by creating groups and private chats, creating and scheduling public/ private events, and inviting in-app friends to attend exciting events together. 

Are you part of a team, club, organization, or group? One of the biggest challenges with managing large groups is ensuring everyone stays in the know. And how do you do it all effectively, with as little work as possible? Manage everyone by creating a group where you can easily invite its members to events you host or request invitations on the group’s behalf. Groups are also able to accommodate up to 5 co-admins. Event-wise, >|||< combines many of the core features of event planning – creating new events, inviting friends to attend, chatting in a group chat/ private chat, and viewing the guestlist, to name a few. Whether you’re looking to recruit new team members (create an event to match specific profile interests), offering an opportunity to participate in local festivals/ tournaments/ competitions (create a public event with particular guidelines), or throwing a specialized event (validate guests’ identities through scanning barcodes upon entry), >|||< makes it easy, manageable, and safe to conduct all aspects of group organization – all in one app.

Not looking to make new friends? It’s not a problem! Organizing events with your existing friends proves a challenge to most – how often have you wanted those group chat plans to make it? One of the reasons why they never materialize is because of the effort required in planning and executing. Getting everyone on the same page is the first hurdle; getting it on the calendar is the second. Not to mention the constant, ‘Hey, I can’t make this day’ texts and adjustments that come right after finalizing. With klllk, you can organize and communicate with your friends in-app and, as a host, make changes to the event until it begins – to which everyone on the guestlist is promptly notified. The option to make events public/ private allows you to make them visible only to your guest list!

With so many options, klllk offers many reasons why it makes a difference. Seriously, no matter who you are and what you’re looking for, planning and attending events – solo, with others, or to expand your circle – is a universal human experience.
