Entice customers to sign up for a club membership with a promotion. You can set up a promotion to add free time to a club membership, such as free days or free months. You could also run a club promotion that offers a specified amount or percentage discount that can be automatically deducted from the club for a specified number of billing cycles. This promotion also applies to the clubs sold on your WashNow! Online Store (optional feature and additional fees apply) or WashConnect ePOS.

• Clubs with the Billing Day set up as First Day can only offer Free Months, not Free Days.

• Clubs with the Billing Day set up as Signup Day can choose Free Months as well as Free Days.

To add a promotion to a Club Service, follow these steps:

1. On the WashConnect logon screen, log on to Corporate.
2. On the Configuration menu, click Goods and Services, and then click Club Services.

The Club Services tab appears including a list of all clubs.

3. Click to select a Club Service from the list. 
4. Click the Edit button.
   The Club Service dialog box appears.

5. In the Promotion panel, select one of the following club service promotions:

• Click to select Free Promotion.
  • From the Free list box, select Days or Months from the list, and then type in the amount of days or months.  This Free time will be added before charging the customer for their first club recurring charge.

  NOTE: The Free Days promotion is only available for a Club Service that is set up to bill on the Sign Up Day as there is no ability to give free days to a Club Service that bills on the first day of each month.

-or-

• Click to select Discount.
  • Select Amount or Percentage, and then type in the amount or percentage in the box.

6. In the # of Billing Cycle box, type in the amount of billing cycles to offer the free day or discounted promotion.

   • Set this to 0 if we want the promotion to apply to the initial purchase.

   • Set this to 1 if we want the promotion to apply to the initial purchase AND the first billing cycle.

7. In the Promotion Start Date box, type or select the start date for customers to be able to purchase this club with the promotion.
8. In the End Date box, type or select the end date for customers to be able to purchase this club with the promotion.
9. In the Name box, type a name for the Promotion that is descriptive of it.
10. In the BMP File box, type the name of a BMP File for the Promotion.

NOTE: When the promotion discounts are active, the club name will be displayed using the Promotional Club name instead of the standard Club name. If custom bitmaps are used, when the promotion discounts are active, the promotion bitmap will be displayed instead of the standard Club bitmap.

11. In the ePOS Description box, type a description specific to the club promotion that will be displayed on the WashNow! Online Store or WashConnect ePOS during the promotion period. This feature is optional and additional fees apply to startup an eCommerce store.

NOTE: The WashNow! Online Store feature is optional and additional fees apply. (WashConnect ePOS is no longer sold but is supported for those wash sites that have purchased it.) 

12. Click the Save button.

The Club Service promotion is now configured.

Next, include the Club Service Promotion in the Club Sales Profile.
