USE Trade Officer/Administrator Handbook

Drop Ship Services Several programs are available that provide needed products for the ministry.

Some examples of these programs are Name Badges, Angel Tree Tags, Thank You Bags, Custom Awards & Plaques, and Salvos Designs.

We currently have two methods to place these orders, dependent on the service provided by the vendor.

Order Forms/Email • Currently Name Badges, Angel Tree Tags, and Thank you bags fall in this category.

• You can find order forms on the Territory online bulletin board (https://inform.usaeast.org/bulletins) where we will routinely post.

They will also be sent out periodically in emails and physical copies will be sent in our annual packet that is sent during the summer.

• Simply complete the form and email it to Customer Service (USE.Trade@USE.SalvationArmy.org).

• Name Badges are used as an ID and have three main options for logo’s though other options may be possible, for example ARC or EDS. • Angel Tree tags are used during the Christmas Season, the summer packet will have the current designs and pricing.

• Thank You bags are plastic grocery type bags with The Salvation Army logo.

They are currently not available for use in New York State due to plastic bag laws. You will be responsible for knowing your local laws governing the use of products.

Website Ordering • Currently both the Custom Awards & Plaques (https://www.sa-awards.com) and the Salvo Designs (https://salvodesigns.abettersign.com) offer website services.

• Visiting these websites, you can place your order directly with the vendor who will ship directly to you. You will later be billed by Trade for the purchases.

• Custom Awards & Plaques allow you to create your own awards and plaques, complete with logos, wording, and engraving. They have dozens of logos on file and can work with you on creating something completely custom you may need for your events.

• Salvo Designs offers various forms of signage including banners, tents, and signs to name a few. They are in the process of expanding their catalog as well.
