What is a Camp Card?
A camp card is a value/discount card which features coupon deals for local and national businesses in and around the greater Baltimore area.
On the back of the card are 10 reusable discounts, valid from February 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016. In addition to the reusable coupons, each card is outfitted with two one-time use, “break off” coupons.
Each card is sold for $5.00, and provides the customer with no less than $100 in savings.
Commission Structure
Pack 354 will earn 50% commission ($2.50) in cash on each $5.00 Camp Card we sell.
With our community partnerships, the sale of the Camp Card is a no brainer!
This program is completely RISK FREE, because any unsold Camp Cards may be returned.
Details
Each Camp Card has a value of over $100. The cards are packaged in shrink-wrapped packs of twenty (20).
