  11. Tobacco Free Zone – Using the Store Ordering • Log onto the Tobacco Free Zone website. • Click sign in and enter your email address and password or create a new account. • Begin your order by selecting the items you wish to purchase. • Please make note of the minimum order quantity. Example: If you are ordering polo shirts or hoodies the minimum order of 36 can be accomplished by ordering 10 small, 10 medium and 16 large. If you do not need 36 you can take advantage of the bundling opportunities discuss later in this presentation. • Once you have completed your selections continue to the checkout section and follow the online instructions.

  12. Tobacco Free Zone – Using the Store Bundling Opportunity If you would like to purchase items from the Tobacco Free Zone but are unable to meet the minimum quantity you can continue to process your order. Your order will then be held until another grantee orders additional quantities to help reach your minimum order. When a grantee is in need of a bundling opportunity, an email will be sent to all grantees via the TRU listserv. Although orders will be considered bundled, orders will be shipped to the individual grantee and billed accordingly.
