Fundraiser Discount Cards the Only Way to Raise Funds
Fundraiser discount cards are
the only way to go for school clubs and organizations, church groups, sports
teams and other non-profit groups. If
you have never tried them for yourself, you cannot realize all of the amazing
advantages. Candy bars, cookie dough,
jerky, candles, popcorn - all of these things are great and have their place in
fundraising, but when you really want a way to raise a large sum of cash quickly,
fundraiser discount cards beat them all by a mile.
Here are a few of the
reasons why:
They're super-easy to
sell. Potential customers can easily see
the value of the cards, which offer discounts at a dozen or more merchants in
the local area. These money-saving offers
include discounts of 10%, 15%, 20% and more, along with buy-one-get-one-free
offers. The cards typically sell for
$10, and when you consider the amount of money the card bearer can save over a
one-year time period, it just makes good sense.
There is very little value in a chocolate candy bar or jerky, other than
it tastes great! People want to save
money on those "every day" purchases, which is exactly what they get
with fundraiser discount cards.
Profits are tremendous when
compared to other fundraising products. Considering that your group earns 30% to 50%
profit on most products designed for charities to raise money, these cards are
highly profitable. In fact, depending on
the size of your group and number of cards ordered, you can enjoy profits of
more than 100% (this is possible due to getting 200 cards free with every 1,000
ordered). Even at a minimum, you earn
50% - which equates to $5 per card, not too shabby. Have a group of about 50 who will be doing
the selling? Order 500 cards, sell them
all, and your organization has easily raised $3,500 at a 70% profit
margin. The more cards you order, the
higher the profit margins.
Less work, fewer
worries. With fundraiser discount cards,
there are no storage or spoilage issues like you often find with candy bars and
cookie dough. In addition, there are no
heavy boxes to tote around from one location to the next or haul back and forth
from the car. Just tuck them away in a
pocket, fanny pack, wallet, or purse, and you're ready to go. Because they're so easy to take along whether
you're going shopping or to a ball game, you're always ready to make a
sale.
The work and planning
involved is far less than with other fundraising methods as well. All you have to do is decide which merchants
you want to include on the cards, contact them to see if they would be willing
participate, and order the cards from the company, which will design them with
your group's name or logo. In fact, the
card company will contact the merchants for you if you would rather go that route. Once they are printed up and delivered, your
group is ready to begin selling. It just
doesn't get much easier than this!
As you can see, there are
plenty of benefits to using fundraiser discount cards - and these are just a
few of the most important. Now can you
understand why it's the only way to raise funds?
