Free Prizes

The key to getting your sellers engaged is picking a brochure that your sellers are excited to sell!

Free Prize Ideas

Out of Uniform vouchers. Does your group have to wear a uniform everyday? Offer a pass or day that each person who participates can wear their own street clothes.
Open Gym Night Pass. Open up the gym to your group for one night for each person who participates. This is a great chance for your group to do some fun gym games like parachute or scooters.

Principal for the Day. Every person that participates gets an entry to be the principal for the day or even part of the day.
Principal work from the roof day. Set a goal for your group and then if the goal is met principal would work on the roof for the day. (Get your principal on board by mentioning they would really just need to be on the roof at arrival, dismissal and lunch time)

Middle School/High School Ideas

Our hottest program to run in the middle and high school range is the 5, 5 and 5 program (or a variation of it). The basis of this program is: the first 5 items sold; all the profit goes to the group. The next 5 items sold, the profit is split between the student and the group. The next 5 and beyond, the profit goes to the student. This makes kids sell as much as possible, they want to earn that money for themselves more than anything else. Nothing needs to be setup in our system. We have reports that can be used to determine each seller what was earned.
