Welcome back to reality! We hope you enjoyed the holidays and winter break. Now it’s time to get back into the swing of things and one area to focus on is Spring sports groups. The coupon books are excellent fundraisers for baseball & softball teams, little leagues, recreational sports and travel ball. These are great fundraisers for these groups or even to do as a direct sale to help offset registration costs. Some reps don’t feel the need to “push books in the Spring”
because they are going to expire soon. WRONG. Remember that the books have a shelf life of 18 months and the app is good for 12 months from the time of activation. There is plenty of time to use the coupons and maximize their savings in these early months of the Spring season.
Continue to go through the books and pick out 4 or 5 coupons that would be useful. Add up the savings and see if it totals or even exceeds the $25 purchase price. Spring sports will continue practice in early January as seasons will begin mid to late February and run until early May.
Not to mention you will have other Spring Activities - prom, banquets,
Junior/Senior Dance, graduation, etc. All of those activities need to be funded, too.
Remember it does not take months to use a coupon or several coupons.
Spring Contracts
As you continue to hit the ground running and sign more groups to run this Spring, here are a few reminders regarding Spring ‘24 contracts and the procedures:
Be sure to include # of sellers and # of
books - there are new blanks for both pieces of information on the Agreement.
Please allow 48-72 hours for processing and getting coupon books shipped out. Anything that needs to go out “same day” needs to be submitted by
noon eastern time. This is not guaranteed, but chances increase if plenty of time is allowed for the warehouse team to get the shipment out the door. UPS and FedEx pick-ups are usually mid afternoon at the warehouse.
Ask for the online link (www.sapaynow.com/(group #) and share with your
chairperson.
Where do I send it?
Just a quick reminder to send paperwork, contracts, questions, etc. to the Team Mailboxes instead of individual staff members. Team inboxes are generally covered by more than one person and will expedite your requests.
