We continue our mission to grow the hobby, but cannot do it alone. We need your help. Word of mouth is our biggest recruiting resource. Of the 1,580 new members in 2022, 620 were introduced by our members and dealers – and we ask that you continue those efforts in 2023. In appreciation, our March Membership Madness campaign is offering a twist for those who sponsor a new member.
A free gift for you and the new member
In March, both you and the new member can receive a free book. New U.S. members will pay only $36.75 for the remainder of 2023 and will receive a free copy of the APS Stamp Identifier, one of the hottest selling APS books. And, you, as sponsor, earn $5 cash OR can elect to receive a copy of this free book for yourself. Remember, if you recruit five new members in the same calendar year, you receive free dues!
Recruiting new members is a win, win. You receive a gift and most importantly introduce a fellow collector to our entire network, strengthening our connections and the hobby overall.
For the March Membership Madness campaign, we have set a goal to recruit more than 150 new members in March. Here’s how you can help. Visit www.stamps.org/together-we-grow for recruiting tips and for a special March application to share printed copies or the link with friends and colleagues – make sure to enter your name as the sponsor. Or, feel free to contact the membership team, which can mail you brochures and applications to share – call 814-933-3803. When an application is submitted to APS with you listed as sponsor, we will contact you to see if you would like the book or the cash.
Do you have recruiting ideas? You may have ideas that we haven’t thought of, or know about opportunities in your own social network – please share. Send ideas to [email protected] or to 100 Match Factory Place, Bellefonte, PA 16823, Attn: Membership. Our membership team appreciates your input. #TogetherWeGrow
