Welcome, Business Partner!

We've created the Alexandria Jaycees Business Partners Coupon Kit to help you:

• easily and quickly customize and print coupons and
• train all staff in processing these coupons.

Staff Education Overview

It is recommended that your staff education include an in-person training session for all of your shift managers and staff, using the Business Partner Participation FAQs, POS Instructions, and Employee Instructions Poster. This training will take approximately 10 minutes.

Point-of-Sale (POS) Instructions

We strongly recommend that you provide written instructions for informing your staff about the coupon program, so that they:

• know the coupons Jaycees will be presenting are legitimate and
• know how to process the coupons.

You may want to staple a copy of the coupon itself to these instructions.

It is recommended that your staff education include an in-person training session from a manager, using the Business Partner Participation FAQs, POS Instructions, and Employee Instructions Poster.
