What is a Sandboxx Letter?
A Sandboxx Letter is an electronically composed message printed into a physical letter and sent to recruits in training. It is delivered overnight to the base, making it faster than traditional snail mail.
We know that you have options when it comes to getting your message into the hands of your future service member. What is it about Sandboxx Letters that makes them the best way to reach your recruit?
Every Sandboxx Letter includes:
Your personal message and photo.
An optional military Exchange gift card add-on. This allows you to send your recruit funds they can use at the base Exchange while complying with military regulations. Letter credits are required for sending a gift card, as they cover the logistics and printing of both the gift card and the physical letter. If you do not have sufficient letter credits, you will need to purchase them before completing the process.
Military bases prohibit recruits from receiving money directly, making the Exchange gift card a compliant alternative. The gift card is sent within your Sandboxx Letter via FedEx next-business-day delivery.
To send a gift card, you simply need to select the Exchange gift card option when composing your Sandboxx Letter. You can specify the amount of the gift card during this selection. *Please note: The Coast Guard Exchange gift cards are only sold in $50 increments.
Return stationery to make it simple for your recruit to write back to you.
A pre-addressed return envelope to make replying easier for your recruit.
