We offer early pay discounts. For example, if they pay their full semester dues before school starts, they get a $25 discount. If they pay within 2 weeks of school starting they get $20 off, and that dwindles down to no discount by $5 each week. Our dues are much less than $2000, so you would have to make it comparable. The great thing is most of the chapter does this and we begin fall with our full budget and the girls are happy because they saved some money. We have the same option for spring, but the fewer girls pay ahead.
I also always tell the chapter in the last meeting before summer that they can pay their dues over the summer. This is usually news to new members and they like the option. You would be surprised at the number of girls who take us up on that.
