The Full Spread
Everything that comes in your Completion Package: t-shirt, tote bag, diploma, branded pen, sticker pack, Royal Pine air freshener, assorted candy, and your $75 referral card.
The Completion Package
You put in the work. This is what's waiting for you at the finish line.
When you complete your BDE program, we ship a box of Greenhorn gear straight to your door. Inside you'll find a t-shirt in your chosen size and color, a tote bag, your official diploma, a branded pen, a sticker pack, a Royal Pine air freshener, and assorted candy. It's our way of marking the milestone, because getting your license is a big deal and we think it should feel like one.
Your package also includes a referral card. Every friend you refer earns you $75, with no cap and no expiry. A handful of referrals and the program has more than paid for itself.
