Happy Mother's Day!

Another year has gone by and it’s time to show the most important woman in your life how special she really is! Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to tell mom how much you love and appreciate everything she does on a daily basis. Take the time today to do an activity together that is both fun and active for the whole family. Help mom out with gardening, go on a hike, or even better, go for a jump on your Springfree Trampoline!

There are a million reasons to love mom and we asked our Springfree family from all over the globe what they love about their own mom the most. Here’s what they told us…

How are you celebrating Mother's Day this year?

Thanks to everyone that attended our inaugural Jump for Kids last Sunday in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

The event was rockin with over 1000 people attending and raising much needed funds for Children’s Hospital Foundations Australia.

It was a fun day with lots of registered jumpers doing Star Jumps and Slam Dunks on the world’s safest trampoline and enjoying stacks of free kid’s activities including balloon twisting, face painting, sausage sizzle and heaps of free Giveaways from the Nova street team.

We also wanted to say a special thank you to our Jump For Kids Ambassador, Hayley Lewis!

Here are some cool pics from the day

Huge thanks to the lovely ladies from Face Fiction for their creative face painting!

Introduce yourself.
I’m Claire! I’m going into my third year at Queen’s University and am studying Film & Media.

How long have you been working at Springfree Trampoline?
4 months!

What is your job title and what does your job entail?
I’m the Digital Communications Intern for Springfree. My job involves curating content for our various social media channels, producing and editing videos, helping monitor our online communities, and basically assisting my boss Stella on whatever she needs help with!

What has been a highlight of your time working here?
Going to a professional photoshoot with Springfree’s five athlete ambassadors – Oh and then one of them (Rosie) winning a gold medal at the Olympics!

What do you like most about your job?
The freedom for creativity in my work and of course, I get to jump on trampolines!

What do you like most about the company?
The work environment is fantastic. Springfree cares about its employees.

What’s a funny/unique fact about yourself?
I’ve been on the Ellen DeGeneres Show – it doesn’t get much better than that!

What’s your favourite Springfree Trampoline model to bounce on?
The S113 because it is the bounciest (at least in my opinion).

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Springfree Trampolines?
Flawless design.

What did you think about when you first jumped on a Springfree?
“Umm.. this is the greatest thing, ever.”

Introduce yourself.
My Name is Julian McNaughton and I’m a Marketing Intern for Springfree Trampoline. I’m 20 years old with a Diploma in Broadcasting-Journalism. Starting in January I’ll be working towards a degree in Business/Marketing.

How long have you been working at Springfree Trampoline?
I’ve been working at Springfree for five years now, since I was 15.

What is your job title and what does your job entail?
When I first started at Springfree, I worked in the warehouse as casual labor. Starting in February of 2012, about six months after I graduated, I moved into the Marketing department where I’m currently working as a Marketing intern. My main job as a Marketing intern is to coordinate events and prepare our events team for them. I also assist the marketing coordinator in marketing plans, promotions and development of product collateral.

What has been a highlight of your time working here?
The highlight of my time working at Springfree definitely has to be the National Home Show. The home show was my first major event. It was a long ten days but I enjoyed it. I learned a lot that I can apply to the work that I do now.

What do you like most about your job?
My favorite thing about being a Marketing intern is that I’m always learning something new. With different events happening every week, it allows for a change in the work pace which makes everything more enjoyable.

What do you like most about the company?
What I like most about the company, is its passion. The drive and the passion that the leaders of this company have is indescribable and it rubs off on us all.

What’s a funny/unique fact about yourself?
I am a HUGE soccer fan. Every Sunday during the soccer season, no matter what time, I wake up and watch my beloved Lazio play. When Italy won the 2006 World cup I weeped like a baby for days and when Italy lost in the Euro Cup final this summer I again weeped like a baby… Pathetic, I know.

What’s your favourite Springfree Trampoline model to bounce on?
Hands down my favourite Springfree model to jump on is the S113.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Springfree Trampolines?
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Springfree is quality. With quality, comes safety, durability and longevity.

What did you think about when you first jumped on a Springfree?
My first thought when I first jumped on a Springfree Trampoline, other than knowing instantaneously that it was the safest trampoline in the world, was how can I possibly incorporate a soccer net into the FlexiNet???

If you’ve ever had an inquiry about your Springfree over the phone, chat or e-mail, this is probably the girl you’ve talked to! Meet our Customer Service Specialist, Shannon.

Introduce yourself. My name is Shannon, and I am 22 years old. I recently graduated from university with a Bachelor of Arts – major in French, and minor in Law.

How long have you been working at Springfree Trampoline? I have been working at Springfree for a year and a half as a Customer Service Specialist at the Markham, Ontario office.

What’s your job title and what does your job entail? As a Customer Service Specialist, I speak to all prospective customers and current owners in regards to their Springfree Trampoline. I chat online with our customers, I respond to all customer inquiries, and I am a member of our warranty team. In addition, I work as a translator and bilingual representative for our French-speaking owners.

What has been a highlight of your time working here? Working at events and meeting our customers face to face! The Home Show was a great way to connect with our prospective and current owners.

What do you like most about your job? I love assisting fellow Springfree family members with the entire purchase process – from deciding which model would work best for their family, to arranging for the trampoline to be shipped as a surprise birthday present, and finally… to seeing photos of the children bouncing away post-installation.

What do you like most about the company? I love how our company promotes safety and wellness in such an exciting way. Our team is so loyal and passionate about their jobs… it isn’t hard to go into work every day, I look forward to it!

What’s a funny/unique fact about yourself? I used to be a professional hip hop dancer…ha! Oh and I was also in the movie Mean Girls.

What’s your favourite Springfree Trampoline model to bounce on? My favourite Springfree model has got to be the S113 Large Square – I often go for a bounce during my lunch breaks

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Springfree Trampolines? Safety, quality and FUN…I could go on and on!

What did you think about when you first jumped on a Springfree? I was about 13 years old when I first jumped on a Springfree Trampoline and I immediately wanted one in my backyard. I have been a loyal fan of the Springfree brand ever since!

Sadly, Shannon will be leaving the Springfree family soon to head to France for a job opportunity. We will all miss her!

We recently asked our Facebook community a very difficult question:

If you could bounce to any song, what would it be?

After a ton of different song choices were thrown at us, we thought it would be a great idea to compile a playlist! This way you can jump to some other Springfree fans’ song choices too. In order to make this playlist the best it could be, we turned to the Springfree team to give us their choices as well. So, which tunes made the cut you ask?

1. Jump For My Love – The Pointer Sisters (STAFF PICK!)

2. Jump Around – House of Pain

3. Apache (Jump On It) – Sugar Hill Gang

4. It’s My Life – Bon Jovi (STAFF PICK!)

5. Free Fallin’ – Tom Petty

6. Jumpin’ Jumpin’ – Destiny’s Child (STAFF PICK!)

7. I Like To Move It – Reel 2 Real

8. Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) – Kelly Clarkson (STAFF PICK!)

9. Stayin’ Alive – Bee Gees

10. Don’t Let Your Feet Touch Ground – Ash Koley (STAFF PICK!)

Do you sense a pattern?

Share with us what your go-to jumping song is!

Springfree Trampoline staff members from all over the globe put a video together to show our appreciation and love for our mothers! Take a look:

We’re halfway through the month of November but some of you may refer to this month as… Movember.

If you’re a frequent reader of the Springfree Trampoline blog, you know that we love anything related to the following: trampolines, family time and health and wellness. The Movember campaign raises funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer. 

For the entire month of Movember, “Mo Bros” dedicate their faces to the campaign. They grow a moustache to become walking and talking billboards for the movement to “change the face of men’s health”.

Ladies, don’t fret if you can’t grow a moustache. “Mo Sistas” can also participate. 

The Canadian Springfree office has a team of Mo Bros: Mo-scular Men.

(From L-R) Joel (business analyst), Steve (chief bouncing officer), Saugar (web/systems manager) & AJ (e-commerce specialist) looking at bit hairier than usual! ;)

Movember’s campaign values are fun, caring and innovative. We can most definitely relate to these values and Springfree Trampoline is happy to participate in this important cause.

Are you a Mo Bro or Mo Sista? Let us know in the comments or share your pic on our Facebook page.

Our Aussie Management team is taking part in the 2011Kidsafe Cook-off in King George Square on national Kidsafe Day, Tuesday 25 October, to help raise money and keep kids out of hospital.

Springfree will be hot in the kitchen!

This great foodie challenge will see 15 teams, each representing a different occupation; compete to seek who’s best at cooking up a storm. (*Ahem,

we already know who is but we’ll go along for the fun

With just two hours, two testing challenges and only a one-burner barbeque, teams of four will cook their hearts out to please a panel of celebrated chef judges and become culinary champions.

Sponsored by Channel 10 and Sizzler, the Kidsafe Cook-off 2011 will start at 11.15am with a basic cooking challenge. If you’re in the area make sure you pop down and support the bouncy managers from Springfree! We’ll also have an R79 (medium round) set-up to give all supporters a jump.

Kidsafe is a national not-for-profit organisation with the aim of keeping kids out of hospital. All proceeds from the day will be used to further Kidsafe’s current driveway safety campaign. In Queensland alone, three children are run over in low-speed incidents each week, usually at their own homes.

We hope to see you there! Make sure you wish our managers luck .
