Q: What is the "Universal Scoop" equal to?

A: The "Universal Scoop", supplied in the ARK, is equal to 1/4 cup. If you have purchased Series Packs where the cooking instructions refer to using the supplied universal scoop, please use a 1/4 cup.


Q: How do Referrals work?


A: The Ready Project was founded on a business model for families on budgets. The Referral program allows you to share the product with friends and relatives and earn referral credit that can reduce the cost of a monthly shipment or you can just receive a check for commissions earned. As you refer people to The Ready Project, you will receive a 5% referral credit on anything your referrals ever purchase.

When you enroll as a member (free and no purchase necessary) you will receive a promotion code that you can give to other people interested in The Ready Project. If they use your code when they place their first purchase they will receive 5% off their first purchase and their account will be linked to yours permanently (i.e. you would receive 5% on anything they ever purchase).

As an example of how The Ready Project is a great plan for a budget:

Let’s say you enroll in the Auto-Delivery program and receive a small container of our gourmet food storage each month. With Tax and Shipping, your monthly total would be about $32.48 (A better price/calorie than anything we know of in the market). Each month you would receive a different container providing your family with a variety of foods to choose from.

Then you host a Tasting Party and 6 of your friends enroll in the same $24.95/month Auto-Delivery Program. You would earn $7.49 in referral commissions that would be applied to your next shipment as a credit and your second shipment would only be $25.00. You can see how repeating the process will quickly reduce the cost of your monthly shipment to a minimum. You may very well exceed the cost of you own shipment in which case your remaining credit would carry over to the next month.

For example:
Your monthly shipment:
Subtotal: $34.95 (Sample)
Tax: $ 2.27 (Sample)
Shipping $ 5.95 (Sample)
Total: $ 43.17

Referral Credit: $60.00
Monthly Shipment Cost: $0
Referral Credit Balance: $16.83

That’s how it works…very simple.
