Foreword
You do not need any sales experience, formal training or qualification in
Sales / Marketing.
We are now living in an era where communication media is open to anyone
with a PC and access to the internet, anything is possible. This is
indeed the golden age for marketing opportunities.
Your Target
Quite simply sell an average of 5 of our 'unique' greeting cards a week.
We have the set the bar low, therfore we expect anyone of our accepted
applicants to be able to sell 5 cards on average per week over any given
three week period. For example if you were to sell 8 cards in week 1, 3
cards in week 2 then to maintain the target set you would be expected to
sell 4 cards in week 3. Likewise on week 4 adding the number of cards
sold on the preceeding two weeks (which totals 7) a further 8 cards would
need to be sold to meet the criteria.
There is of course no upper limit, there are no restrictions to the number
of 'unique' cards you can sell and therefore no cap on the total
commission you are able to earn!
If the above sounds appealing then please read on.
Okay, over the next few paragraphs we will explain the procedure.
Explanation
What is termed a 'Unique' card- What we define as a unique card and for
the purposes of this offer, are any one of our unique greeting cards where
sound is used or ordered. Ie, any greeting card purchased with added sound
module.
Our web site 'Mungogram.com' enables users to log on, choose a particular
artwork then either select a pre-recorded comical message or record their
very own personal one. The customer is able to either use voice over
microphone on their PC or alternatively use our integrated telephone
system, a free service (0800 number) for landline based sets.
Below are a few examples (a sneaky preview) of how our greetings cards look. You will of course be able to browse our website once it has been launched.

Application procedure and requirements
We will accept the first 200 applicants that correctly complete the
application form.
Each successful applicant will receive a Merchant ID number along with
confirmation of succesful application and start date for trading.
The 'Mungo sales challenge' will expire 6 calendar months after start
date, although if successful we may choose to extend this period.
Cancellation: Mutual cancellation without penalty should either the
participating merchant or we decide to cancel the agreement. We respect
your right to cancel at anytime. Although we may ask for a reason you can choose
not to disclose why. No notice period is required from either party to
cancel. Your agreement with us will be cancelled automatically if you are unable to meet
our minimum sales requirement.
Each week, from the commencement of trading, each Merchant will receive
what will be known as a 'Trading Statement'.
The trading statement will comprise of the following important pieces of
information that basically keeps you up to date with sales, commissions
earned, funds available and of course your target requirements, which must
be met in order for you to remain in the programme.
Components of the trading statement
- Your Merchant Number which is your unique reference number. Basically it is how
we identify you.
- Trading week: The number of the week we are currently on ie, 1, 2, 3, etc.
- Number of cards sold in the previous trading week.
- Minimum sales requirement for the current week.
- Statement of accounts: This is your statement of commissions earned and
withdrawals and is a historic record.
- Balance total: This is the current balance of commission that you have
left in your account with us.
- Funds available: Of the total funds, the funds available are those funds
that you are able to request payment. To enable us to maintain a sensible
cap on the costs and enable you, the merchant, to receive such a
proportionally very high commission rate, we will pay in denominations of
£10. For example once the balance total reaches £10 you can request a
payment. If you prefere you can allow the balance to accumulate and then
request payment of the balance in denominations of £10. For example a
balance total of £46.30 you can request payment of £40.00 or even wait
till it exceeds £50 and request that.
Promotional Codes and sales tools
In addition to receiving your merchant number we will also issue you with
a unique 'Promotional Code'. Each and every time your promotional code is
used when a customer orders one of our unique greeting cards we will
identify this as one of your sales.
The code has to be successfully entered, the sales order has to be
completed and the item ordered has to be one of our unique cards.
Will people remember to add the code? In our experience if you mention in
the advert somewhere the text 'When ordering quote promotional code
EXAMPLE' the public will generally for the most part enter it.
Will these codes apply discount? No these codes are 0% discount rated and
they are simply tools to enable traceability of sales.
If you feel that you would like to tempt more customers by enticing them
with a discount we are flexible enough here to allow that but it must come
out of your sales commission. If this does appeal to you and you feel that
you would wish to use some of your commission to draw
in more custom, have a think about the amount you would like to use and we
should be able to work something out. In the long run if for example you
felt happy with 75 pence commission we could set you up with a discounted
promotional code which you could then advertise to customers a promotional
code which if used would give them a discount of 25 pence for every unique
card.
We will issue in our 'Tools page' a set of banners and logos which you can
download. These are to enable you to advertise on a website or on printed
media and included in this we can allow linked banners which will enable
your website to link with ours and that tells us you have supplied us with
a potential customer. Again if that customer then completes a successful
order for our specified product you will earn the respective commission.
Basically, it is entirely up to you how you market this product with the
tools we have given you, provided of course the method is safe, will not
offend anyone, or bring our company into disrepute. Please note that any
promotional costs incurred are for you, the merchant's account. These would for example be including, but not limited to, costs of printing, advertising and employing third parties.
A few basic sales examples
Just a few basic ideas to get the creative juices flowing. For example
you may live in a village and may wish to print out some flyers and post
them around, of course don't forget to make reference to your promotional
code. Although we will on the outset issue you with a promotional code we
can also, if requested issue further codes to your specification. Again if for
example you live in say a village called Boxford we could issue you with
the code BOX, which may help aid villagers remember your code.
- Perhaps create a sticker using our logo for the back of your car? Local
newspaper/ advertiser?
- Certainly a cheap way of advertising could possibly be using a company
bulletin board, just make sure that you have permission first!
- If this is all a little new and you are a little unsure then perhaps
'start with your family' they'll probably help build your confidence, give
you a little encouragement and who knows they may even place a few orders
and get you off to a good start. Also please remember, you may also order cards personally but remember to include your promotional code which will enable you to gain credit and sales commission!
We look forward to your business.
Good Luck

Terms and Conditions
Scope
We are looking for up to 200 applicants nationwide. Successful applicants
will enter into what we are terming 'The Mungo Sales Challenge'.
The Mungo Sales Challenge
Simply sell an average of 5 of our 'unique' greeting cards a week. We have
the set the bar low and therefore we expect anyone of our accepted applicants
to be able to sell 5 cards on average per week over any given three week
period. For example if you were to sell 8 cards in week 1, 3 cards in
week 2 then to maintain the target set you would be expected to sell 4
cards in week 3. Likewise on week 4 adding the number of cards sold on
the preceeding two weeks (which totals 7) a further 8 cards would need to
be sold to meet the criteria.
There is of course no upper limit. There are no restrictions to the number
of 'unique' cards you can sell or cap on amount of commission earned
Unique greeting card is any card which is sold with a sound component.
Ie a card once opened that plays a sound. This is our main
product.
Account/How the Merchant receives funds
Each applicant must have or prior to entering must have a PAYPAL or
similar account that is set up to receive funds.
Settlement
In order to keep our costs down to achieve a high commission rate for you
we will settle in denominations of £10. Once your statement shows that
there is a balance due of over £10 or other multiples of ten pounds, you
send us an invoice through PAYPAL, or other account. Also we wish to
point out that all or any costs incurred for the transaction are for
yours, the merchant's, account.
We will do our utmost to settle your invoice within 6 working days of
receipt.
Your account with us
Although we term the record of transactions an account it is not an actual
account but merely a record of transactions and resulting commissions and
therefore will not give rise to interest on funds, overdraft or credit
facilities, give rise to charges or any other feature of what would
normally be termed a bank account in its conventional sense.
Extension
We reserve the right to extend this challenge to more applicants if we
feel that it is necessary to do so. We reserve the right to do this
without consultation or giving prior notice.
Resale or disclosure of information to third parties
All personal details are confidential. MungoGram does not sell, rent,
loan, trade or lease any personal information collected at our site. This
includes but is not limited to membership forms, email lists or addresses.
Logo
The applicant/ Merchant or sales agent agrees only to use our logo, strap
line and other associated identity (including the 'mungo') to market Mungogram products only.
Furthermore by entering into our merchant scheme the merchant will have our express
authority to market and use logo, strap line and other associated identity
only during the period specified in these terms. Mungogram grant permission to a qualifying applicant for using trademark and logo strictly within the confines of this marketing venture and within timescale specified, unless extended.
We reserve the right to cancel our association with a merchant at any time
without notice and without giving reason at which point the merchant must
cease trading our products immediately and must not use our name or claim
association or connection to our company in any way, whether deemed or
direct.
The use of our logo and character is carefully monitored under copyright and trademark legislation.
Marketing
Whilst we have agreed that the merchant may market our products and may
have, to a large extent, freedom to do so, the merchant must ensure that
his/her conduct be reasonable. Reasonable, meaning, that all marketing
activities are conducted in a way that will not offend/ infuriate, cause
harrassment or nuisance to anyone.
The merchant understands that his/ her conduct is their sole
responsibility, which they must assume. We will not tolerate anyone who
seeks to damage our reputation. Legal action will be taken.
