December 2009 Bonus Opportunities/Contest
December 6, 2009 - Posted from an email sent to MyShoppingTown Fundraising Partners
Hello MyShoppingTown Partners!
As you already know, we have drawings to give away prizes to individual shoppers. Don't forget that this month we're giving away DVD box sets of The Adventures of Indiana Jones, and Back to the Future, two classic movie series. We also have an ongoing bonus for referring new fundraising partners (congratulations to El Capitan Band for being the first to refer a new partner and earn an ongoing bonus!). There's also the bonus donation opportunity for referring a Real Estate client to Amy (5% of Amy's commission!) anywhere in the country, not just San Diego. These are all great opportunities that I hope you all take advantage of, especially the Real Estate Referral Bonus because it helps you out with the most dollars for just a few minutes of your time.
For the month of December, I'm going to give you all a new opportunity to earn more for your group! There will be two bonuses awarded. Any partner is eligible to win one or both bonuses, it's all up to how motivated you all are at fundraising for your group to see if you can be the best and win.
What are the bonuses? 5% extra commission on ALL purchases for your group in December.
Who will win:
- The partner with the most overall sales in dollars for the month of December.
- The partner with the most number of unique shoppers for the month of December.
Purchase Eligibility
This is nothing new as it's required normally anyway, but in order for the sale to count, they have to track properly (because we can only share what we actually get paid from the merchants!). I also personally reply every time someone "Records Your Purchase", so no making up names and email addresses to try and win the contest!
Why two prizes? - doesn't the most number of shoppers automatically mean the most overall sales in dollars? Definitely not! Plus there's a pattern of only one or two (three if we're lucky) unique shoppers per fundraising partner, which is why I'm awarding a bonus for getting more people to shop. So remember, we could have two winners getting 5% bonus each, OR the same group can earn both prizes, for up to 10% total bonus on all purchases in December. It's up to each group to step up their fundraising efforts to earn more.
It's December, the biggest shopping time of the year, so call, email, Facebook, etc. all of your friends, family, co-workers and anyone else you can think of to get involved. While there will be one or two winners of the bonuses, you're all actually going to be winners just for competing and stepping up your fundraising efforts, because you'll be getting more people involved and earn more from your normal 70% share. So in fact, you'll all be winners just for putting some effort into it!
