* Approximately 84,000 coupon books were sold during the Fall 2007 campaign!
* If accepted, there is NO CHARGE to merchants to place a coupon in the Kids First book.
* By placing a coupon in the Kids First book, you will have the opportunity to expose your business to the entire Hamilton County area and beyond. You will be reaching valuable new consumers, many of whom will become repeat customers.
* Kids First is a win-win-win program, which benefits the business community, consumers, and schools.
* Kids First Coupons are redeemable for an entire year (September through August of the following year).
* Your participation can improve the value of the coupon book, which could result in increased sales. That means fewer additional school fundraisers will be necessary, thus allotting our children more time to focus on why they are in school... to learn. 
* Sponsors who contribute significant funds or products to the campaign receive even greater visibility through logo placement in promotional materials and acknowledgement in publicity efforts.

* Every year, businesses submit offers for consideration to be in the book. Typically, applications are accepted from March 1 to April 30. There are always more offers submitted than space available in the book, therefore, applicants must go through a selection process. The offers are compiled into one database and the Parents' Review Committee decides which ones will be included. Businesses are notified in May or June of their decision.

* If you are interested in placing an offer in the 2009 Kids First book, download and return the Kids First Merchant Application and your offer will be considered!

* Remember... the better the offer, the greater its chance of being accepted.
