What exactly are Perks?
Perks are promotions or incentives offered by participating CJNU Corporate Members to all other members of the co-op – individuals, couples, and corporations – across Winnipeg, Manitoba, and beyond.
What kind of perks can be offered?
Whatever you feel is appropriate! For instance, it could be as simple as:
- X% off your purchase
- X% off if you spend more than $Y
- Free X if you spend $Y or more
- Free X – one time only
- X% off your meal – dine-in only, lunchtime only
- Spend $X or more, and [your business] will donate $Y to [a charity or cause chosen by you]
But these are just suggestions – what you choose to offer, and any caveats you wish to apply to your Perk (whether it’s one-time only, an ongoing benefit, etc.), is entirely up to you!
How often can we change our perk?
Perks can be changed quarterly – with new Perks being published in March (Spring), June (Summer), September (Fall) and December (Winter). The cutoff date for any requested change to your Perk is two weeks before the start of the next quarter.
How do we administer our Perk?
It is entirely up to you how you choose to implement, track, and validate eligibility. We do however have a couple of suggestions:
- CJNU members are issued with a Perks Card - we would suggest that the member would need to show you their card
- If your Perk is made available online, you could perhaps require the member to include their membership number as part of the order process – or specify a discount code that you include in your Perks details
How and where will people find out about our perk?
- Detailed information about all currently available Perks – as well as any terms and conditions you choose to apply – are listed on a special page on the CJNU website, along with your logo and a link to your website
- Detailed information on all currently available Perks is emailed to our members on a quarterly basis
- Via on-air promotion, directing people to the website to learn more
- In our monthly newsletter, Nostalgia Notes. This is distributed to our members, donors, and general mailing list via email, and is available publicly on our website, and physically at our studio locations
Do we have to offer a perk?
Offering a Perk is one of the many benefits Corporate Members of CJNU are entitled to - but if offering a Perk is not conducive to your business, or you don't currently have something you want to offer, you certainly don't have to. You can always offer something later if you wish!
