4. EXAMPLE: HealthCheck360 has the company cover some of the cost of the product; then has the employee cover the rest of the cost. That way neither employer or employee is paying the full price for the product:
5. If MMA bought through a seller like Amazon they could Google ‘Fitbit discounts’ and sites would come up that have promotion and coupon codes

7. Since Blue Cross Blue Shield is our insurance provider we get access to the ‘deals’ they offer
Cannot find it exactly but I am pretty sure they sponsor or offer deals on Fitbits

8. Fitbit Community
Once employees have their Fitbits someone in the organization can create a private group on fitbit.com.
– Employees can see their ranks and how everyone else is doing
– Also totals what everyone has done together
o Good for challenges
9. Pros
Fitness tracking will not be on an honor system
10. Cons
If MMA was to do a sleep challenge it would still be on an honor system because you have to hit a button on the Fitbit to say when you are sleeping or not
– Only relevant for the versions that track sleep
11. E-mail inquiry facts from Fitbit
We offer a bulk rate discount of 15% for employers who partially or fully subsidize trackers for their employees beginning at 100+ unit orders. The company subsidy must be at least 25%.
– The discounted prices (exclusive of tax and shipping) assuming a 100-500 unit order and your company was contributing at least 25% to the cost, would be as follows:
o Fitbit Flex - $85.00/unit (in stock) Fitbit One - $85.00/unit (in stock) Fitbit Zip - $51.00/unit (In stock)
o Orders must be made in quantities (multiples) of 10 per unit type
12. Challenge suggestions from Fitbit
Create a collaborative group goal –companywide. (i.e.: Set Company goal -- entire office averages 9,000+ steps per day). This is very easy to roll out, see results.
Create subgroups and have the groups compete against each other. (i.e.: group with greatest number of steps in one month gets a prize)
Have individual competitions – If anyone averages over xx,000 steps over the course of a month gets recognition / a prize / etc.
