I'm am one of the people helping to get the scrip program going at my son's school. We have started it this last fall.
We are having a hard time getting people to sign up and order the cards. Some don't understand that it's not all or none type thing. They want to use their credit cards to get points (which I totally understand) but they could still buy a 10.00 card to panera or something and they are not going to lose a ton of points.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get families to understand what scrip is and how beneficial it is. We have sent emails and newsletters home but people are just not going onto the site and signing up.
We were trying to do it all by not accepting checks so we could get the cards sooner. Not sure if this is a problem or not.
Should we stock cards in the office for people to buy??
Thanks for any help you have
Melinda
