Chamber of Commerces partner with Bear Down Parcel to provide a value-add, web-based service to members. The information below details the key points of such a partnership, and showcases why the Bear Down Parcel shipment auditing service is a good service to recommend to your chamber members.
Overview of Bear Down Parcel
Bear Down Parcel saves companies money on shipping. In short, we’ve developed a software program that secures refund for customers due to overcharges by FedEx and UPS. What is an example of an overcharge? Late packages. If a package is one-minute, late then the shipper (your chamber member) can collect 100% of the shipping costs on that package. But knowing which packages are late and filing the claims is hard and takes time.
Bear Down Parcel does all the auditing of a shipping account, finds the billing mistakes and files refund claims with FedEx and UPS. When the refunds are delivered, Bear Down Parcel collects half of the found money secured. In this way, the service is 100% performance-based and no-risk to customers.
Businesses who ship packages every day love Bear Down Parcel, because by signing up for the service they effectively save 2-4% on shipping each week.
Overview of the sponsorship
There are two ways to sponsor Bear Down Parcel to receive a commission-based percentage:
- Email sent to members. A well-crafted email is created to your specifications and sent over the chamber listserve.
- Verbal announcement. Mention the service at the next meeting, detailing how to sign up. Simply go to Bear Down Parcel.com and register.
Overview of the commission
On average, each customer saves $100 per month in shipping. Bear Down Parcel collects 50% of the savings as a service fee, and 20% of that service fee goes to your chamber as payment for ultimately converting the chamber member as a customer. In other words, you can expect to collect roughly $200 from each customer that signs up for the service over the first year.
Bear Down Parcel offers a generous 20% of all revenues generated in the first year from any customer that signs up due to the chamber’s sponsorship efforts. Checks are sent every 2 weeks for the commissions that were generated within the last 2 weeks. An interface is provided, where the customers and commissions are viewable 24/7.
Example email
Below are some screenshots of an email template that is ready to be sent to your Chamber members. The email looks great on a desktop, table and mobile browsers, and will integrate seamlessly with the service that you are using to send out emails to chamber members. The email will have a tracking link associated with your chamber, so of your chamber members who subscribe are attached to your account, and you are given the credit.
Example partner
