Greetings,

Like most fundraisers, many are local based like yours. It serves
no one who is in another area of country, so I am happy to see
your local coupon book performing for your school fundraiser, but
our RX Discount Card works nationwide, so it applies to more
readers than a local coupon book does.

You should add our Discount RX Card to increase the value of your
coupon book significantly as many are selling out RX Cards for up
to $100.00 or $4.50 per month, so the point is, value and
offering what people need is what makes for a great fundraiser.

I agree, discount coupons work well, but looking at your site,
there is not many choices at the moment. I started a similar
local discount card as a fundraiser years ago and it was
successful, so again, nothing wrong with coupons.

What we do is different, and also totally free to organizations.
We provide the cards, non-profit organization is advised to share
them with all those who are unemployed or uninsured, and ask for
a small donation, whatever a person can afford. This is non
selling, and volunteers prefer non sales fundraisers like this.
In addition, they can go to local businesses and request that
they purchase X amount of cards and display and use it as a sales
incentive to increase sales by handing them out to their
customers with a purchase, as example.

I have our volunteers go to local businesses and request $100.00
donation for 100 cards, so for a dollar a piece, it is very
affordable to distribute to their customers as a sales
incentive. Good will for a buck is a very powerful incentive
showing your customers you care. There are so many ways to
promote this concept, so everyone is free to choose what works
best for them.

Everyone is looking for value and savings in a recession,
consumers and business owners alike, and our RX Card plan works
for both. It is easy to administer, it is totally free outside
of the cost for custom display card holders for businesses, and
as we all know, non-profits rarely have money to spend upfront
for inventory. Our RX Cards usually generate on average a $10.00
donation. When we present it as a donation, not a specific price,
most will offer more than if setting price at a fixed amount.

We are all looking to help non-profits, schools, churches and
even local specific charities, and the more we have to offer, the
more a non-profit can raise. I work with only recession proof
fundraisers and this has been paying off for all involved.

Success to all, Mike
