The ask: give back a percentage of one night's sales. We bring you the customers.
A spirit night costs you nothing up front. We promote your business to our families; they show up and spend money, and you share a percentage of that night's revenue with SFMS. If the night is slow, you owe nothing. If it's busy, you've had a busy night.
Three ways to do it — pick what fits your business:
1. In-person night. Pick an evening. Families come in, mention South Forsyth Middle, and you contribute 10–20% of those sales. Works for restaurants, ice cream and coffee shops, bowling, entertainment venues, and retail.
2. Online spirit week. No storefront traffic required. You provide a code, we promote it for a set date range, and you contribute a percentage of orders placed with that code. Works for e-commerce, delivery-only kitchens, meal prep, and online services.
3. Service spirit month. For businesses where a percentage of sales doesn't translate — orthodontists, salons, studios, trades, medical and dental practices. You contribute a flat amount per new client who mentions SFMS during a set window. You set the amount and the cap.
What we do: Feature you in our family newsletter twice — the week before and the day of. Post to SFMS social media, with your images and links. Send a flyer home and place you on our school marquee. Remind our staff, who eat out in this community all the time. What you do: Pick a date and a percentage. Be ready for a busier-than-usual evening. Send us a total afterward
