Go Green With CamperReg
Going Green - it can mean a lot of things. From preserving the environment to boosting your bottom line. Through small efforts like turning off unused lights to big steps like installing solar panels on your office building, it all adds up and in the end benefits everyone. Whether you do it for personal or financial reasons, the time is now to Go Green.
That's why CamperReg works with our clients to maximize the power of the web. By accepting online registrations and communicating with registrants electronically, our clients elimate the need for printed brochures, mailing envelopes, stamps, invoice printing and mailing, and creating and sending confirmation packets. The time and savings opportunites are endless, and the piece of mind you get from conserving resources, priceless.

* This table is focusing on four of the CamperReg automated customer Communiques. For our purposes here, this does not include our custom developed "client touches" emails, or the myraid other forms of instant, single-click client communication throughout the system. We are focusing here on the confirmation packet, pre-camp broadcast, post-camp broadcast, and integrated camp evaluation form.

In Summary:
For every 250 campers you have register for your camps, you will save, on average, $651 per year in marketing costs, 21 man hours, and 6% of a tree using the CamperReg System (see Go Green Resources and Stats). If applied to a camp with over 1,000 campers, this equates to about two weeks of man hours and thousands of dollars in savings. The more campers you have, the more incentive there is to elimate waste and save money by using online registration!
