As the head coach and founder of the Tri-City Thunder AAU basketball team, I want to be able to offer our brand of basketball to as many kids as possible, and keep expenses down for the families involved in the program. Anyone involved with AAU basketball knows, there are many expenses a club incurs over the course of a typical season including practice facility expenses, tournament fees, equipment costs, etc. And the more fundraising you can perform, the less money your club’s families will have to chip in during the season. Here are some of the best fundraising ideas for AAU basketball that we have put into place for our club team.

First of all, ESPN The Magazine offers a great fundraising program for AAU basketball teams. For $40, a donor receives a two-year subscription to ESPN The Magazine (52 issues). The best part is that of the $40 contribution, $30 goes directly into your AAU program, and that is money in hand! As a team, we set a goal for each player to try and sell three to five subscriptions, if possible, and the result is a nice chuck of change that can be used for gym fees, uniforms, and equipment! If you set a deadline of a good two weeks, you can literally fund your program for the next few months with some diligent work on your contributor’s behalf.

Next up, every team benefits from spirit wear! Not only does it look good on families who come out to support the team, it also helps get your brand name out there. Believe me, when you are at a tournament, and wearing sharp looking team apparel, people notice. In this method of fundraising, you can go to one of numerous websites that allow you to design a custom t-shirt or other type of clothing. In the case of the Thunder, we created a basic t-shirt design with our team colors, name, and logo. Then you can sell each shirt for $20, with $8-9 from each shirt sale, going into the team’s coffers. Again, getting each player to sell at least five shirts, goes a long way towards building a nice fundraising account for your club.

Another easy fundraising idea for AAU basketball is to partner with some local restaurants in your community for fundraising nights. Many local businesses offer programs that allow you to earn 10-15% of all proceeds for customers you can bring into the restaurant on a given evening. Not only is this easy money for your program, but it’s also a nice way to spend an evening bonding with other families that are a part of your program.

These are just a few of the numerous ways we have been able to raise funds for our AAU basketball team. By staggering out the fundraisers over the course of the season, and getting all the players and families involved in working together for the benefit of the club, you can create some truly spectacular results for your program. For more information about building an AAU basketball program, please visit Star Potential Sports.

One look at the makeup aisle and you find yourself automatically drawn to the mystical fragrances and vibrant packaging. Before you know it, you are walking out with new products and a hefty bill. We know you love your beauty products and deserve to be pampered. But don’t worry here are some tips that let you be the beauty queen without breaking the bank!

1. Watch out for Sales!

Black Friday deals are great, but you can find huge discounts on your favorite brands all year long! Most of the stores have a newsletter in which they announce discounts and sales, often giving you a special online discount that’s not available in the store. So go to your favorite beauty store’s websites and sign up for their newsletters.

2. Let your multi-tasking talents shine

You may not realize it but most of your beauty products can serve more than one purpose. Dab your liquid lipstick on cheeks and blend to save money on the blush. Instead of pressed highlighters invest in liquid highlighters, mix a few drops with your foundation or bb cream for dewy finish when the matte finish is out of style. Get creative and save money. This is the perfect gift for girls.

3. Go to the drugstore

To someone who’s addicted to high-end brands buying makeup and skincare at a drugstore may sound horrible, but most of the drugstore brands are priced at a fraction of your beloved high-end brands and offer products with amazing quality. Avoid investing in high-end products which you must replace very frequently like mascaras, eyeliners, and compacts, or products you want a lot of variety in like lipsticks.

4. Get beauty box subscriptions

You can save a ton of money with beauty box subscriptions especially if you opt for the ones who offer full sized products instead of samples. Samples boxes can’t provide you with the same value for money as boxes with full sized products can.

5. Use Coconut as makeup remover

No need to waste your money on expensive makeup removers and wipes. Coconut oil can remove the stubborn waterproof makeup easily. It’s not only a pocket-friendly option but is also good for your skin, eyebrows, and lashes.

We hope these tips help to give your wallet some TLC and make you look as glamorous as ever without going north of your budget plans. Subscribing to a beauty subscription box is the way by which one can get all the products in a very small amount. This is perfect for those girls who don’t want to use one product for many uses.

Are you the one who looks out for shopping hauls to save money? Are you a girl on a budget and looking out for fantastic beauty products?

Usually, women eagerly wait for the shopping hauls and the sales to take over so that they can go on their spree getting their beauty wants and needs. But, always waiting for a sale to fulfill the wants can lead you through your saturation points.

Don’t worry ladies, waiting for shopping hauls is old news now.

Say hello to a high-end subscription box!

It’s official, subscription boxes have taken over our doorsteps and our lives in the best ways. How could anyone turn down a custom-made box filled with things you wouldn’t usually buy, but you’d definitely love? Especially for the girl on a budget, there are a lot of subscription boxes just waiting for you.

When we talk about beauty subscription boxes, there are different subscription services that give out 5-7 sample/ full-size beauty products monthly for less than the MRP of the product.

So, you wouldn’t have to wait for sales from your favorite and good makeup and beauty brands, and you could basically buy membership boxes without any of the guilt because you know its money well spent. Because no matter who you are or what you’re looking for, there is a beauty box out there for you to become obsessed with.

How Do Subscription Boxes Work?

The process is simple. A new user signs up for a monthly fee (could range anywhere from INR 499 to INR 1599 depending on the service) and usually completes a short survey about their tastes and preferences. There are a few boxes now that give out the opportunity to choose and customize the products in the box. After that, the subscriber gets a box of personally selected goodies automatically delivered right to their doorstep. While the MRP relies upon the brand, an extensive piece of the buyer interest of membership boxes originates from value price and comfort since the boxes give out the best-curated items in under their unique MRP.

It isn’t only a blast for the clients, yet additionally for the brands. In this day and age of unlimited choices for everything, brands need to endeavor to slice through rack mess, be it physical space at their retail shop or snap and-mortar outlets like Amazon where a scan for “lipstick” returns a stunning 48,000 outcomes.

With the help of a subscription box, the brands come out of the clutter as well as the customers get acknowledged about the brands and their new launches. Also, they get to explore these options in a pocket-friendly way. Whether it be sensitive hair care, unique nail polish, the latest makeup, or the nicest skincare products, a monthly subscription box comes in perfectly handy for finding what beauty products work best for you. Beauty shopping never means spending a fortune, and also now say no to even the idea of waiting for shopping hauls. Start shopping now!

Two words: Recurring Payments

If you’re like many online marketers, you might think the key to success is having a huge list of subscribers and tons of customers. And of course, both of these things are good. But if each customer only buys from you one time, then much of your time, energy and resources will be spent on forever finding and selling new customers.

If, however, you can increase how often each customer buys from you, then you can make more sales while doing far less prospecting. For example, imagine if each customer buys from you 6 or 8 times instead of once. And imagine if you only have to sell them once for this to happen…

… you can begin to see the power of subscription payments.

And it gets even better…

• Because your average customer value is higher, you can actually afford to ‘buy’ new customers through targeted and tested ad campaigns. This literally takes the ceiling off of your income.
• People who buy from you on a subscription basis are much more likely to buy other products from you as well.
• You can spend far less time hunting for new customers, and more time cultivating the customers you already have.
• You continue to get paid until the customer does something to stop these payments. It takes effort on their part to overcome their own inertia and figure out how to unsubscribe. Often it’s easier for them to put it off, sometimes for months and even years.
• If the service or product you’re selling brings a tremendous amount of value, they’re not going to want to cancel. Ever.
• You have an excellent idea from month to month of what your income will be. You’ve got financial stability. You can plan ahead.

Continuity products can be clubs, memberships, subscriptions, software and so forth. It’s a product or service that the customer subscribes to, usually on a monthly basis. As an affiliate, you receive a percentage of the sale each month as the customer renews. As a continuity product owner, you receive payments as long as the customer stays subscribed. You receive full payments if you made the initial sale and partial payments if your affiliate made the initial sale.

Some of the best continuity programs for affiliates involve a service or subscription that is a valuable part of the customer’s business. For example, if someone is making money with their list, they’re not going to give up their autoresponder.

Some marketers make ongoing 4 and 5 figure payments each month from just one of these continuity programs, such as Aweber. Other marketers start their own continuity program and find financial security within months and sometimes even just weeks. A huge weight is taken off your shoulders when you KNOW that next month “X” number of dollars will be coming in, even if you don’t sell anything new.

And you can use that money not only to live on, but also to reinvest into your business. Use advertising to drive more customers onto your lists, where you guide them into more continuity in your quest to help them and accelerate your early retirement.

Enjoy!

Because of the development of the cloud in recent years, where we can now access information remotely with a Wi-Fi connection and run our businesses on the move, products like Microsoft Office have developed to meet current demand. You can now opt to use Microsoft Office or Microsoft Office 365, but is there any real difference between the two?

The traditional MS Office is provided by one download and gives you access to the latest version of the software, usually for a price of around £100 plus (more if you go for the full business package). With MS Office 365, the software is provided by a subscription service where you pay for the number of users on a monthly basis, accessing your documents and tools such as Word and Excel through the cloud.

The Pros and Cons of Microsoft Office

You can get all the usual tools for Microsoft Office and for the most part there will appear to be no difference between this provision and the MS Office 365 package. You own the software outright and can use it on as many machines as the licence permits. The problem is that when you want to update to a newer version you will need to download and pay for the package, along with licences, again.

The Pros and Cons of Microsoft Office 365

There’s a great deal to be said for the subscription service that Microsoft Office 365 offers. You can download it onto a number of devices, as you would for Microsoft Office, but that’s just the start of the benefits.

• First of all, it provides a cheaper outlay than with MS Office, with monthly subscriptions available from £3.10 per user per month.
• You get more for your money with Microsoft Microsoft Office 365 with additional features and capabilities that can make a real difference to your business.
• You can download it to a variety of devices including your smartphone which means that you are less dependent on your office pc and can work more effectively on the move.
• In addition, you get all the updates needed automatically and can stay current with the new versions and also receive support 24/7.

The downside for Microsoft Office 365 is that there is little chance for customisation but that shouldn’t be a problem for most businesses. There is also the issue of security – the service is connected to the cloud which means you might assume the threat level to be higher. However, as you would expect, Microsoft have heavily invested in robust security systems.

Which is best for your Business?

A large number of SMEs and other businesses will see the benefits of moving to a platform such as Microsoft Office 365, not least because of the cost benefits. The issue that many businesses will have is how 365 integrates with their other software and how flexible it is likely to be. The notion of being able to access important things like documents and emails practically anywhere in the world where there is a Wi-Fi connection is also highly desirable in today’s fast paced commercial world.

Working through a good cloud service that includes a hosted email service that is highly secure means there are now no barriers to doing business. You can perform a host of tasks from web seminars, instant messaging and sharing documents between teams.

Bring in the right IT Consultancy

It’s not just a question of signing up for Microsoft Office 365. If you want your business to be entirely secure and benefit from a host of web-enabled tools, you need to choose the right IT consultancy who can advise on what your business needs and what features will benefit you most.

As an insatiable reader you might feel sad when you do not your magazines in time on the newsstands. Then there was that important issue of a particular magazine that covered a historic event. By the time you had ventured out from office at the end of the day, the magazine had sold out. These problems would not have occurred if you had subscribed to that magazine online. There are occasions when you notice your friend enjoying a copy of your favorite magazine. When you venture forth to the newsstand, you are told that the magazine has not yet been released.

Your friend has received it and will keep on receiving future issues of that magazine before they are released in the newsstands. If any such magazine has a competition going on where the 1st 500 submitters are assured of prizes, you can be rest assured that those who have subscribed to that magazine online will beat those who are purchasing it from the local magazine stands. If you had bothered to check the magazine your friend was reading, you might have found an extra line printed on the cover, stating, “Subscription copy, not for sale.” This is one the biggest advantage of subscribing a magazine online.

You can be rest assured that you will receive each issue of the magazine on time. Rather you will receive them ahead of time, if you take into account their release dates on the newsstands. Most publishing houses first dispatch the subscription copies and then send the newsstand copies. Another important factor of subscribing magazines online is the discount you receive from the publishers. The publisher pays a hefty commission to the agent who distributes the magazines to the newsstands and kiosk owners.

This commission is passed on to you when you subscribe to the magazine online. If you read various magazines, you can save a substantial amount of money by subscribing them online. There is yet one more advantage of subscribing to magazines online. Most such subscriptions carry a gift with them. If you subscribe for 3 years, you might even get a costly electronic gift that costs a good sum of money on the street. The publishers can afford to give these gifts to you since they procure the same directly from the manufacturer in bulk at discounts of over 60% and more off the retail street price.

Since subscription copies are home delivered by couriers, you need not waste your time visiting the newsstand to procure it. If you have never subscribed to magazines online try it out today and you will find that it has far more advantages that purchasing them from the streets. The discounts that you get via subscribing to 2 magazines might well help you to subscribe to a third. The gifts that you receive are the icing on the cake. Also, you need not bite your nails worrying if the copy of an important issue will remain on the stands or not by the time you visit them.

There are several metrics through which the performance of your business can be measured at regular intervals. Not only do you understand how well your business is performing, but the metrics also help you to re-examine your business strategies. And it is in this context that the SaaS metrics become even more important.

But the problem which most SaaS business experience is that of which metric should they be using. With a metric for almost everything your business is involved in, it becomes difficult to choose the most essential ones. This is why we have come up with a list of the metrics which are highly critical to measure the performance of your business.

1. Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)

The subscriptions which a SaaS business gains is an important element to measure its performance. This metric tracks the total monthly revenue a business gains through recurring subscriptions from its customers. Unlike traditional businesses, the maturity period of SaaS businesses is longer. Thus it takes time to get returns from capital which is invested in customer acquisition. This is the reason why it becomes all the more important to keep an account of what the business is earning as recurring revenue each month.

With this metric you can easily keep track of the amount of recurring income your business gains.

2. Churn Rate

The number of customers who opt out of your services each month is called churn rate. Every SaaS business aims at bringing down the churn rate, so that the number of its customers does not come down. With this SaaS metric, you easily understand the areas wherein your marketing strategy is lagging behind and make necessary changes in both your marketing strategy as well as quality of your product.

Thus with the help of churn rate you can effectively understand what are the requirements and expectations of your target audience.

3. Cost of Customer Acquisition

Just like you need to keep a track on how many of your customers are opting out of your services (churn rate), you also need to keep an account on how much does it cost your business to acquire a customer. Cost per acquisition (CPA) is a metric which will set the tone of other costs of your business. Every SaaS business focuses on keeping this cost at the minimal value, so that capital can be used in product improvement and better marketing strategies.

Apart from knowing the cost of customer acquisition, CPA also helps in analysing the present marketing strategy of your business and whether it is targeting the right client base. You also get to know which individual marketing campaign is actually getting you customers. This way you can channelize your resources towards the apt campaigns and push up the number of customers signing in for your services.

4. Average Revenue per Customer

Every business runs on the simple calculation of how much did they invest and what is the return they gained from their investment. This is exactly what you get when you use this SaaS metric for your business. Based on this data you can look for loopholes in your services, and come up with solutions which will increase the revenue you receive from each customer of yours.

The average revenue per customer metric is something which will keep your sales and marketing team on toes. They can come up with annual plans, or build strategies to up-sell your products. Thus not only can you increase the revenue from each customer but also bring down the churn rate of your business.

5. Lifetime Value (LTV)

This value is gained by adding the churn rate to the average revenues gained from each customer. Based on this figure you get to predict the revenues which you can gain in the future. LTV can be calculated with the help of a number of formulas, and most of these formulas include the expense involved in client acquisition, in providing services to them and the profit margin which is expected by the entrepreneur.

For those who are new to SaaS business, it is advised that they stick to a very simple formula in the initial stage. Once you get comfortable with the calculation part, you can move on to complex formulas.

These are some of the top SaaS metrics which every business needs to track. As experts in SaaS, we recommend that you stick to these basic metrics, instead of using multiple metrics at one stroke. Sticking to minimal yet crucial metrics avoids unwanted confusion and you get a sleek and clear-cut picture of how your business is faring against its competitors. So follow these metrics and work towards growth and expansion of your business.
