APP CATS Launch CrowdCOLLECTIVE as the Premier App Platform for The Volunteer Club and Other NIL Collectives
(Minneapolis, MN) – The APP CATS team proudly announces the launch of its white-label platform in collaboration with The Volunteer Club, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of engagement for NIL collectives. The CrowdCOLLECTIVE platform is designed as a comprehensive mobile app solution tailored to each collective’s unique needs to foster vibrant communities in support of student-athletes looking for opportunities to leverage their Name, Image, and Likeness (“NIL”).
The customizable CrowdCOLLECTIVE solution creates a centralized content management hub for collectives to integrate podcasts, videos, interactive live streams, chat forums, ticketing, merchandising, gamification, rewards, and much more. Through this innovative platform, individual collectives can enhance member and donor engagement while streamlining the user experience.
“As leaders in the NIL space, it’s only fitting that The Volunteer Club gets to be the first to launch a new app using the CrowdCOLLECTIVE platform,” said Collin Wolff, CrowdCOLLECTIVE Director of Growth. “We’re honored to work with them to offer the tools needed to attract, engage, monetize, and retain their members and donors on a whole new level.”
The CrowdCOLLECTIVE platform stands out as an affordable yet robust solution, offering collectives unparalleled flexibility and functionality. Unlike other platforms focused solely on NIL student-athletes, the CrowdCOLLECTIVE solution bridges the gap between fans, athletes, and collective members, fostering deeper connections within the community.
“We are excited to partner with APP CATS to offer our members and Tennessee fans more ways to support our athletes,” said Will Crocket, Volunteer Club COO. “The Volunteer Club App will allow us to engage with our members in new ways and increase the value of their membership benefits while also strengthening our support for Tennessee Athletes.”
The Volunteer Club is the NIL collective for the University of Tennessee and is known as a trailblazer in the NIL landscape, with nearly four thousand members. The Volunteer Club App is expected to launch next month, with additional features added throughout the summer.
