You Can be Rewarded for Sharing your Empire Experience.

Attention Empire Family!

How did you find out about Empire for the first time? An e-mail? A flyer? Or from a former participant?

Every year, we carefully examine each new team’s application to see how they found out about Empire. The results are clear: you are our best ambassadors!

“The majority of teams that attend Empire for the first time find out about us through the Empire Family,” said Empire Executive Director Justin Matarrese. “We are so lucky that our past participants market Empire for us, often unintentionally.”

This year, we decided to reward our ambassadors while furthering our mission of expanding mock trial’s impact to new communities. How?

The Empire Referral Program.

Here’s how it works.

You continue to do what you’ve excelled at in the past: speak passionately about your Empire experience to a school that hasn’t previously competed at Empire (or hopefully, schools)  If that school applies to Empire, and subsequently participates, then you could save 10% on your registration fee ($200)!  You’ll just need the recruitee to indicate on their app that you referred them to Empire!

“How many times do your students use social media to keep up with their friends at other schools, or do you (as a coach) speak to another coach from a neighboring school?” asked Amber Rumancik, Empire’s Director of Competition Experience who also coaches Fletcher High School’s Mock Trial Team in Jacksonville, Florida. “There are so many easy and natural ways to take advantage of this program.”

What’s more, the discount can be applied at any point in the next three years. So let’s say you decide to take 2018 off, and return to Empire in 2019. That’s totally fine! You can collect the discount then.

“The idea is to thank our Family for going out of their way to promote Empire, and to provide an an incentive for them to continue doing so,” said Matarrese.

So what are you waiting for?  Let the recruitment begin!
