You will not be charged upfront for any supplies, and they are free if your group meets the following order minimums based on your group size:
Groups of up to 99 participants
There is no supply charge if you sell 150 or more items. We will charge a $100 supply fee for orders with fewer than 150 items sold.
Groups with 100 or more participants
Supplies are free if your group averages $25 or more in retail sales per member. (Since the average price of an item listed in a typical brochure is about $15, that's less than two items sold per seller.)
Ave. Retail Sales / Enrolled | Supply Fee |
---|---|
$0-$9.99 | $1 / Enrolled |
$10-$14.99 | 75¢ / Enrolled |
$15-$24.99 | 50¢ / Enrolled |
$25+ | No Charge |
A quick way to determine your average retail sales per enrolled is to divide your total sales by your group enrollment. Consider the following two examples.
If your group raises:
- $2,500 with 150 participants, your average retail sales per enrolled participant would be $16.67 ($2,500 ÷ 150 = $16.67). You would be charged 50¢ x 150 = $75 (See chart above).
- $5,000 with 150 participants, your average retail sales per enrolled participant would be $33.33 ($5,000 ÷ 150 = $33.33). We will not charge a supply fee because you reached $25 per enrolled participant.
Another way is to multiply $25 by your enrollment number. If you have 150 participants, your supplies would be free if your retail sales are $3,750 or more (150 participants x $25 items/participant = $3,750).
Remember that many sellers will sell more than two items while others may not. You shouldn't incur a supply fee if your group averages two or more items sold per enrolled participant.
We will deduct any supply cost fee from your profit payment.
NOTE: Brochure and online sales count towards the minimum free supply requirement. Donations are not items and do not count toward meeting free supply requirements.
