In order to maintain the current fee structure, Fusion Fastpitch supplements revenue with an annual fundraiser though Gertens. Fusion Fastpitch receives 30% of all plant sales. We find that most people buy plants in the spring and are excited that we deliver them right to their homes. Gertens has a great reputation for having healthy plants that makes them extremely easy to sell!
Each family with at least one player 8U or older is obligated to sell a minimum of $300 in plants by March 31.
Gertens plant card sales will count half credit toward the minimum sales obligation as Fusion only receives 15% from plant card sales.
~ Example - you can sell $600 in gift cards instead of $300 in plants to get to the minimum, or $200 in gift cards and $200 in plants, etc. ~
If you sell more than the $600.00, Fusion will provide back to your family 15% on every dollar over the $600 in sales.
Gift cards do not count towards the AV Gives Back program.
~ Example: If you sell $760.00 worth of products, $160.00 of that would be eligible for the 15% back and you would receive $24 back.
