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?

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!

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.

‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through Springfree,
Not a creature was stirring
No one was on a trampoline.

All the workers departed,
As their holidays started,
but we wanted to post one… more… thing!

Our Fourth and Final Video!!

We rounded up the few remaining bodies in the office and had a special guest visit us! Enjoy our rendition of: Rockin Around My New Springfree

In case you want to sing along, here are the lyrics:

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
In the Springfree Warehouse Shop
Trampolines stacked where you can see,
Everybody wants to hop!

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we’ll bounce up to the sky,
and we’ll work eventually!

You will see the flexinet is safely on the sides
People jumping out so far and
Don’t fall off and hit the ground.

Rockin’ around my new Springfree
It’s a really stellar bounce
Everyone’s jumpin’ happily,
In the fun safe Springfree way!

From everyone here at Springfree Trampoline, Happy Holidays to you and your families!

Chelsea

It’s Friday again! Time for yet another, Springfree remix of a Holiday favourite! This week we have chosen to re-write Last Christmas and we’ve grabbed our two very talented guitar playing Web Developers Saugar and AJ to sing and play for us! Check out Last Christmas – Springfree Remix to see the video!

If you want to sing along, below are the lyrics:

Last Christmas
I bought you a tramp
It was traditional
And is now in the dump
This year, I got you Springfree
Cuz I care about your safety

Last Christmas,
I bought you a tramp
it was an el-cheapo,
So it had to go
this year, to save you from tears
I’m giving you a Springfree

Once I fell and then cried
I keep my distance , I didn’t want to die
That el-cheapo, it was so horrible,
Well it’s been a year, they suggest Springfree

Merry Christmas!

I set it up and loved it
with a net keeping me inside so safely
now I know what a fool I’ve been
so if I bounce right now, I’ll never get hurt again
(CHORUS)
(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

In New Zealand, that’s where it began
A great professor, he’s a kiwi man,
His wife said ain’t no way!
A trampoline in my house
No! I will not have that thing in my backyard
He went to the workshop and he started to think
a man engineering a safe trampoline
Oooh Oooh
He made a Springfree it’ll never hurt them at all
(CHORUS)

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays all!!

Chelsea

As promised, our second of four videos has been uploaded. I apologize for its late arrival however, due to our appearance on Ellen last week, we decided to hold off and have yet another fun video to watch this week! We hope you all enjoy watching it: I Love Springfree – Christmas Remix

In case you want to sing along:

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
There is nothing to hurt me

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
I want one for my family

There are no springs to fall upon
A hidden frame, that danger’s gone

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
I’ll always jump quite happily

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
There is nothing to hurt me

I love Springfree
I love Springfree
The kids can jump in safety

A flexinet keeps me inside
And the soft edge, it need not hide!

Here at Springfree
Here at Springfree
We focus on your safety!

Happy Holidays!

It’s that Festive Time of Year! At Springfree Trampoline we are excited about Holiday Spirit and Holiday Cheer! Our offices are decorated and our Christmas lists are made. The only thing left to do is sing it from the mountains! Since we don’t have mountains close to our Canadian office, we had to settle singing for a camera instead.

The Marketing Team at Springfree promises a Christmas video every Friday leading up to Christmas Day! After today, you can expect one the 10th, 17th and 24th! We’ve rewritten well known Christmas Songs and put a bit of a Springfree spin on them, so be sure to check back next week!

Now, onto our feature presentation,

We hope you enjoy this rendition of Santa Baby, featuring the newest additions to the Springfree Team, Katherine and Chelsea, singing about the safety of Springfree… with a few liberties taken.

Santa Baby – Springfree Remix (Click To Watch)

In case you want to read the lyrics, here they are:

SANTA BABY – SPRINGFREE REMIX

Santa Baby, slip a Springfree under the tree for me
I’ll be an awful safe girl
Santa baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Santa baby, I don’t want a traditional tramp, oh no!
I’m afraid I’ll get hurt
Santa Baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Think of all the jumps I’ll do
Think of the all the pain it cannot inflict on you
Next year I’ll still be oh so pleased,
If you set up a Springfree for me,
Boo doo de doo

Santa Honey, I wanna net and really you
Can’t forget!
It’s packaged inside the box
Santa baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Santa Cutie, there’s one thing about this cool ledge, soft edge
It has a hidden frame!
Santa cutie, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Santa Baby, I just cannot get hurt on this thing, at all
It’s the world’s safest tramp
Santa Baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

I don’t want no El-Cheapo!
With its springs and frame and rigid enclosure
I really don’t, want to get hurt
So let’s just throw it in the dirt
Boo doo bee doo

Santa Baby, forgot to mention one little thing, NO SPRINGS!
Nothing to break an arm
Santa Baby, so bring me a new Springfree tonight!

Bring me a new Springfree tonight!
Bring me a new Springfree, Tonight!
