Description

Retailers:  Want to save vaping and save your shop (and save a few customers’ lives), but your ‘life preserver’ budget it tight?  We’re not asking for your money** — we’re just asking for a little shelf space, a small temporary inventory passthrough, and a few smart salespeople to collect donations and start the conversation about vaping advocacy.  Make room for the FreedomBox to support V.A.P.E. Society advocacy to help make sure you have a shop in the future! Please keep in mind, the FreedomBox is a Fundraiser for the V.A.P.E. Society to advocate for ALL vapers and ALL of vaping, including YOUR shop. We are NOT selling anything, but rather, we are asking for DONATIONS to fund the organization’s advocacy operations.  But instead of just passing around a [white] hat, asking distributors and retailers for cash to advocate on their behalf, V.A.P.E. Society wants vapers to support vaping by engaging with other vaping advocates to solicit donations from those who benefit from this life-saving technology.  100% of all profit** realized by your FreedomBox donation goes to vape advocacy. For your $500 V.A.P.E. Society Retailer Donation, you will receive 5 FreedomBoxes as a ‘Thank You’ gift. You can then pass them on to donors willing to ‘donate’ $105 to support vaping advocacy.  You could recoup 105% of your outlay, get the tank/juice/accessories upsell, and get engaged consumer advocates who are going to help make sure your shop is still around in 2 years to meet all their vaping needs; a win-win-win-win situation at better than $0 cost to you.  When demand and/or your advocacy/marketing/rescue budget allows you to order a 25 Unit FreedomBox gift pack, we toss in an ‘extra’ ‘Free’ Special Edition White FreedomBox for you to use as you wish, to increase awareness, advocate for advocacy, or just show off & enjoy!

** For each $500 DONATION given to V.A.P.E. Society, we have arranged with a fulfillment company to send you 5 FreedomBoxes as a free ‘Thank You’ gift.  You will then have the option of distributing to, and collecting $105/unit ‘donations’ from individual donors to recoup 105% of your expenditure.  The ‘extra’ $5 is provided to offset any of your costs associated with the acquisition and collection of V.A.P.E. Society donations.  Our cost to the fulfillment company is $65 per unit [delivered], or $325 for 5 units, leaving a net ‘gain’ of $175 from each $500 donation. V.A.P.E. Society is incorporated in the State of Maryland as a Non-Profit entity and is organized as a 501(c)(4)  Non-Profit Organization pursuant to IRS standards and therefore, individual donations are NOT tax-deductible, but as a business, you may be able to deduct 100% of your outlay as a marketing and/or advocacy expense.  Consult with your tax advisor.  Nonetheless, everybody gets to enjoy the benefits for the rest of their [hopefully longer] life!
