7/4/2023: Ambassador Cards
Hello again!
Two TEAM emails send on the 4th of July! Oh my!
Well June has flown by.. and here we are the heading into the 2nd week of July!
We fully recognize that your days are likely full running to practices, camps, pool parties and the like…which is why we’re reaching out to you to possibly help us continue to spread the word about KidStuff Sale and our upcoming events. We continue to serve so many families across Kentuckiana with each sale and we’re always searching for new ways to reach as many Moms and Dads as possible who may not be familiar with the services we provide.
We’ve ordered Ambassador Cards that resemble business cards with information about KidStuff, a QR code with our sale dates and a short blurb on what we do – and a place to add your name for referrals. We’d love to have as many of you carry a few with you as you attend your various activities and spread the word. We know some of you are extremely busy and may not be able to participate…and that’s OK! For those of you that may be interested, we’d love to hear from you at support@kidstuffsale.com or text 502-209-9899 with your full name and we’ll coordinate to get cards mailed to you.
We are also sharing this Team Only referral offer valid July 5 through September 14! Even if you are not able to work in September, as a past team member you are eligible.
All team members who refer NEW sellers will be put in a drawing (one entry per referral) for a $100 Amazon Gift Card – or KidStuff Kash (whichever preferred) one entry per referral.
If more than 80 new sellers are referred by the team between July 5 and September 14, we will add two additional $50 gift cards to the drawing.
The team member who refers the **MOST NEW sellers (minimum of 5) will also get a $100 Amazon gift card – or KidStuff Kash and HUGE bragging rights as the Master Ambassador!
*A NEW Seller must not have sold in the sale before and must bring 40+ items to seller check-in. You will be shocked how many families do NOT know about our events – just hand out the cards – you’ll see!! The new seller must list YOU as their referral source when registering.
In addition to using the ambassador cards – you can text or email or post share on social – neighborhood groups, etc. as long as the new seller lists your name you will receive the referral credit. Offer to help them get started as a thank you for listing you as the referral to the sale.
Irrespective of your participation here, we again want to THANK YOU for supporting our efforts to bring KidStuff Sale each and every year to the community. It’s because of YOU that we’re reaching so many families who have greatly benefited from our events, both In-Person and Virtual. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming Fall events.
We hope your summer plans and vacations are a blast…enjoy the slower mornings these last weeks before school starts again. Take care!
