HOW TO PROMOTE

Promoting your GBD Cash link is easy!  Let technology do the work for you!  Facebook, Twitter, your blog, e-mail, text messaging, etc. reach a ton of people quickly and for free.  Use Bitly.com to shorten your URL for Twitter and txt messages. Set up a Facebook Group and invite your friends (even from other schools since they wish they had something like GBD!). Get a group of friends together to order shirts and use the link as a discount coupon - 30% off!

Some people have had luck doing sidewalk chalk - off-campus, please.

Others have done flyers at apartment mailboxes or under dorm doors.

When you sign up, make sure you enter a custom web site address for your self.  http://yourname.greenbeerday.com is a lot easier to remember.  Come up with something catchy and get that link out there for everyone to see.

Offer a cash discount to folks who order - give them $2 back for a shirt that they order - you still pocket close to $3 on the sale!

Set your e-mail signature up to promote your link - everyone you e-mail will see it and hopefully click and buy something!

Use GBD Cash to raise money for your student organization - rally your group around promoting your link and watch the sales increase and the money you earn can help add vital fundraising dollars to your group's budget.

Remember you get 30% of the total sale - which includes shipping - so if someone from another school or a family member or friend back home order something you get even more money.  You get 30% of the shipping cost, too!  And we ship all over the country to a ton of alumni.

Make sure you login often to the GBD Cash Control Panel to see how many clicks your link has gotten - this will help you see what is working and what isn't.  And don't forget you get an e-mail each time someone buys something!  Log in to see how much that sale earned you!
