Merchant Maintenance

After merchants have registered, credited your organization and its sales rep, and activated coupons, it is important that your sales rep or a member of your group (one of your executives would be ideal) occasionally reach out to them and ask how they are enjoying their experience using HIMC. Why? If your merchants renew their HIMC coupon spaces the following year and choose to re-credit your group and its sales rep, then your group and rep will once again earn funds! That means, with just a little communication with the merchants you’ve recruited to HIMC, your group would earn another $45 and your sales rep would earn an additional $10 the following year.

Monitor Your Sales Rep’s Efforts:

It is critical to monitor:

The number of merchant coupons you have recruited and if your fundraising goals are being met
The amount of time that has elapsed since your group registered for HIMC
The dates that your merchants will need to renew their coupon spaces on HIMC, and re-credit your group and rep

To keep track of this info:

Login with your group’s username and password
In your group’s dashboard, click “My Merchants” and “Revenue Earned”
You can now view the number of merchant coupons your group has accumulated, the dates that your merchants’ coupon spaces will expire, and the success of each of your merchants’ coupon spaces
You can also view the total number of merchants that have credited your group but have not yet activated HIMC coupon space. This is important to track because your group will not receive funds until the merchants you’ve recruited have activated coupon space. Make sure to contact merchants in this category.
Additionally, if a merchant’s coupon space(s) are close to expiration, we recommend that you encourage him/her to renew their coupon spaces and to re-credit your group and sales rep – thus, sending your group and rep funds once again!

Recruit Even More Coupons To HIMC To Earn More Funds For Your Group:

Recruiting new merchants to Here Is My Coupon is always a productive way to earn more funds. However, an even more effective way to increase funds is by reaching out to merchants you’ve already recruited to HIMC, and encouraging them to purchase additional coupon space(s). These merchants with experience using our system may be more likely to buy extra coupon space, then a merchant that has not yet used HereIsMyCoupon.com.

Maintain Active Merchant Coupons:

Here are a few ways to establish relationships with the merchants you’ve recruited to HIMC:

Send thank you notes when your merchants activate coupons and credit your group
Send holiday cards
Go to their store and give them business!
Use their coupons!
Encourage your friends to use their coupons

Monitor your merchants’ coupons:

Login using your group’s username and password
Click “My Merchants” and review how many views, clicks, and redeems their coupons have received
If it looks as though one of your merchants has low-performing coupons, reach out to him or her and offer some suggestions! You could suggest that he/she modify the deal, change it completely, or adjust the small print. He/she could also input a new picture to attract more attention to a coupon.
If you find that one of your merchant’s is not very computer savvy or doesn’t want to take the time to adjust his coupon, then offer to do it for or with him/her.
Let your merchants know that with our performance guarantee, their coupon spaces will remain on our site until they reach 30 redeems. That means that if a coupon space does not reach this threshold after being on HereIsMyCoupon.com. for one year, we will keep it up on our site until it does.

Payments

Your group will receive $45 per paid merchant coupon that your sales rep(s) recruit to our site. Your group will receive this payment through Braintree, Paypal, or through direct bank transfer, and the transaction can take up to 45 business days.

Your sales reps will earn $30 commission per paid merchant coupon that they recruit to our site. They will receive this payment through Braintree, Paypal, or through direct bank transfer, and the transaction can take up to 45 business days.

Although we designed Here Is My Coupon (HIMC) for local communities, don’t mistake our small-scale approach for a low-impact result.

What exactly do we mean by that? Our small-scale approach to finding and supporting local Groups—who in turn recruit and support local merchants—means that each community benefits from a personalized version of HIMC. This personalization has a BIG impact on any community regardless of whether or not HIMC exists anywhere else.

Let’s consider your own town. Is there a local Group that throws an annual potluck or gala to raise money for a college scholarship fund? What about that local pizzeria or bakery where everyone goes to grab a bite (or buy a birthday cake)? Think of how much they (and your community) could benefit from HIMC! If we can serve your community and serve it well, then that’s a major notch in the win column for us.

Moreover, if HIMC takes off in your community, then who’s to say that the town next door wouldn’t benefit too? It’s a plus to partner with HIMC to reap the benefits of a personalized approach to fundraising and business support, but it’s even better to get to the party first and show that HIMC succeeds in your community so that other towns can follow suit. Just as we achieve BIG results with our small-scale approach, it’s a BIG opportunity for you to sign on as the first Group in your area to partner with HIMC.

Sounds great, right? Don’t wait any longer to work with us—click here to learn more about Groups and click here to sign up. We’re excited to help you succeed!

So what does a Group do?

Groups earn funds by recruiting local businesses to purchase Coupon Spaces on Here Is My Coupon (HIMC). Each Group has at least one registered Sales Representative who recruits local businesses to purchase Coupon Spaces. For every Coupon Space sold, HIMC pays that Sales Rep$30 in commission and pays the Group that they represent $45.

Sounds great, right? It doesn’t stop there.Sales Reps earn an additional $10 per year when a Merchant who they recruited renews their Coupon Space and re-credits said Sales Rep. Plus, the Sales Rep’s Group earns an additional $45. That means residual income for all of you!

Convinced yet? Let’s say that you’re part of a Group with one Sales Rep working for you. In one year, you could make:

Merchants Recruited	Sales Rep Makes	Group Earns
10 Merchants	$300	$450
25 Merchants	$750	$1,125
50 Merchants	$1,500	$2,250
100 Merchants	$3,000	$4,500
150 Merchants	$4,500	$6,750
200 Merchants	$6,000	$9,000
250 Merchants	$7,500	$11,250

You’re right, it does sound great. But why should my Group participate?

HIMC is a fundraising platform like no other. Sure, you might be earning decent funds from your bake sales, dance-a- thons, and fun runs, but HIMC gives you the opportunity to get more involved in your community and support the small, local businesses that you frequent while earning residual income at the same time.

In addition to raising money , the people who are involved in your fundraising will gain business and communication skills that can serve as > valuable resume boosters.

So how many Groups can participate in HIMC?

Each community can have an unlimited number of Groups to match the countless merchants near you who are excited to use a platform like HIMC!

Alright, count me in! Are there any requirements for forming a Group?

Group members have to be of legal age (18+) to represent and be eligible to partner with HIMC. Groups must also abide by our Code of Conduct while fundraising through HIMC.

I’m ready to launch my Group! What do I do next?

Identify your Group’s 2 executives and your treasurer. These 3 members will work together to decide where the money that you raise will go in order to meet your fundraising needs.
Identify your Sales Representatives. Groups must register at least one Sales Representative (preferably 3 or more). Sales Reps can also serve as one of their Group’s executives or as the treasurer (but only for one Group).
Choose a representative from your Group to follow these signup steps:
1. Visit our website: HereIsMyCoupon.com.
2. Click on the “Sign Up” tab and click on “Groups.”
3. Follow the online registration process and complete all mandatory fields.
4. Make sure to include your Group’s registered mission statement!

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send emails to your Group’s executives to officially confirm your signup. Once your executives have activated their Group account, your Group will be active! Hurray! Now you can start fundraising with your own Sales Reps or with Sales Reps who have previously signed up (in that case, we’ll send ‘em your way).

So how will we get paid?

Secure payments to Groups will be processed through Braintree or through direct bank transfers. The transaction can take up to 45 business days.

What if no one in my Group wants to be a Sales Rep?

If that’s the case, then we may be able to provide you with a Sales Rep in the area who has previously registered. However, we highly recommend that your Group has its own Sales Reps. There’s more potential for higher income, more credibility with merchants, and more opportunities to support local businesses in greater numbers.
