Spirit Cards Support Your Financial Needs

High School Spirit Cards


Spirit Cards Support Your Financial Needs in a Way No Other Product Can

Spirit cards, as the name implies, are great for sports teams, the school band, and other organizations when it comes time to raise funds to support a special project or your financial needs.  While there are plenty of great products designed specifically for non-profit groups and organizations today, few compare to these cards, which are super-profitable, easy to sell, and require less effort from those in your group.  Why wouldn't you want to raise the funds you need in the quickest way possible, without all the hard work?

If you are considering spirit cards for your organization but haven't quite made your mind up yet, here are a few facts you'll find helpful in making your decision:

Your group will make more sales in less time.  Why?  Because these value-packed cards are something people really want.  Let's be honest here; not everyone wants or needs a candy bar or jerky, and the fact is many people cannot afford to spend frivolously considering economic conditions today.  Spirit cards make it possible for the customer to save money on things most people buy every day, including an oil change for their vehicle, a burger and fries, haircut or color, an occasional meal at a fine restaurant.  The great thing about the cards is that you can customize the deals on the backs of the cards to your own community.  You choose at least a dozen merchants to offer discount specials and buy-one-get-one-free offers, so you have the ability to choose those you think customers would enjoy saving at most.  Compared to a candy bar or cookie dough, customers will snatch up the cards, because of the value they represent.  For just $10, the card bearer is entitled to use the "deals" for an entire year, saving money each time they buy a product or service.

Why not avoid all the hassles and work when you can?  Spirit cards don't involve the hassles of lugging around heavy boxes, waiting while consumers flip through catalog pages to decide what they want to order, or going back around to deliver orders after they have come in.  You have the product with you, and simply exchange it for payment.  No worries about storage, spoiling, melting, and all of the other headaches that are often encountered with other products.  Because of their small size, spirit cards are something members of your organization can carry with them wherever they go, always available in case they run into an opportunity to make a sale along the way.

Various profit margins depending on how many are in your organization.  Most products made for fundraising purposes offer profit margins of about 50% or 60%, not bad - but what if you could enjoy profits of 70%, 80%, even 100% or more?  With spirit cards, it's possible to raise tens of thousands of dollars in a short period of time, not only because of profit margins, but the fact that as mentioned above, the selling is so easy.  Have 50 in your group?  Your profit margins will likely be 70% if you order 500 cards, which means your organization earns $3,500!  This is based on the fact that most people can easily sell 10 cards each.  Have 100 in your group who will be involved in selling the cards?  Sell just 1,200 and your profits soar to 100% which means you have raised $10,000.  You have to agree this is incredible when compared to what you achieve with other fundraising products and activities!

Spirit cards really do support your organization's financial needs in a way no other product can.  If you are ready for spectacular results without the hard work and headaches, give these dandy little cards a try.

Fundraiser Discount Cards Are Just as Effective as Ever



You may have heard of fundraiser discount cards before you were ever involved in fundraising, as they've been around for a long time.  There is a reason for that - they're a super easy, effective way to raise money for church or school groups, sports teams, and other non-profit organizations.  Just like the candy bar, fundraiser discount cards have become a staple in fundraising, however the cards are far more profitable and easier to sell than candy bars!

With more and more people developing health issues such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and other conditions that contribute to heart disease and obesity, many people are becoming more health conscious.  Fundraiser discount cards are a "healthy" way for your group to raise funds for uniforms, a special trip in the spring, or any other need you may have.  Even in tough economic conditions as we've experienced over the last four years, most customers would rather spend $10 on a card that will save them a substantial amount of money over a one year time period than $2 on a candy bar that won't be around in 10 minutes, and that will only contribute to a bigger waistline.

So, what's the secret that has made fundraiser discount cards a popular choice for raising funds for so many years?  Actually, there are several reasons more groups choose the cards over all other products and/or activities.  They're hugely profitable, customers love them, there's very little work involved as far as planning and promotion go, and the whole community benefits.  No storage or spoilage worries like you find with many food products sold for fundraising purposes.

How profitable are these credit-sized cards?  The profit margins rise the more cards your organization purchases and sells.  For example, maybe you have a very large group of people who will be selling the cards, say 200.  At this rate, it's easy for your group to sell 2,000 cards, as most people can sell at least 10 on their own.  You get 200 cards free with every 1,000 you buy, so you would get 2,400 cards.  If your organization sells all of the fundraiser discount cards, your profits total up to an amazing $20,500!  Try to think of other ways your group has raised funds over the past - it isn't likely you'll come up with anything that has ever raised that kind of money.

How does the community benefit when you choose the cards to raise funds?  Essentially, the offers on the cards will be discounts and buy-one-get-one-free offers at local merchant rather than those that are national.  This makes your customer want to buy the card, because the special offers are good at those merchants they patronize most.  The merchant benefits because of increased exposure, and new customers who may have never come into their business if it wasn't to get their discount.  This keeps commerce in your own neighborhood going strong, stimulating the economy.  It really is a winning situation for everyone involved, as your organization raises an incredible amount of money easily, the customer gets a great deal, and the merchants grow their businesses.

Now you can see why fundraiser discount cards are just as effective today as they were years ago, and they keep going strong!  Some things never change or get old, and this way of raising funds is one of them.  Why waste your energy and wear yourself out on other methods of fundraising that simply aren't as effective?
