Every year, dozens of school groups need to raise money for new equipment, trips, uniforms and many other reasons. The football team may need new equipment, or band members may want to plan a summer trip. No matter what the need, school discount cards are one of the easiest ways to raise money, and they offer an incredible profit margin.
When you begin to plan a fundraiser, there are many things to consider. What product will sell easily, but offer a good profit margin at the same time? You want to make things as simple as possible for everyone concerned, including those who will be selling the actual product. Some items are cumbersome or heavy, making it more difficult for those responsible for the selling. School discount cards are an item that sell easily, and are perfect for the students as they can simply carry them in a pocket or purse, and have them ready upon receipt of the money.
What you want to avoid is choosing products that force you to sell an enormous number in order to reach your monetary goal. Your desire is to choose a product that offers value to the customer, as well as good profit margins for your group. This way, you can raise the funds you need by selling far fewer products! School discount cards offer savings and specials on services and products at your local merchants - things that most people in your area use on a regular basis. Everyone loves a good deal, and knowing that in supporting your cause, they are also supporting the local community merchants.
Another benefit of school discount cards is that fact that the more you buy, the higher your profit margin is. For example, say you have 500 students that will be selling in your fundraiser, and that the average sales per student will be 2 cards. That means that you order 1000 cards, and your profit margin is 100%! There aren't many items you can choose for a fundraiser that are so easy to sell, and offer incredible profits for you as well.
School discount cards offer savings on dining, auto services, activities and other goods and services in your area, which means they help your local merchants by drawing in new business. There is no other item available for fundraising that benefits your cause, your customers, and local merchants all at the same time. When you choose school discount cards for your fundraising needs, you are in effect supporting everyone in the area! Customers are always happy to spend $10 and get so much in return; they also realize that they are helping support your school and all of the merchants in the area.
Sure, you can sell candy bars, cookie dough, beef jerky and other perishable items that you have to lug around - and the profit margins aren't so great. Or, you can opt for catalog sales in which those involved will be responsible for taking orders, then going back to the customers a second time to deliver the goods. Why make things more confusing and less profitable, when it can all be so easy? For your next fundraiser, choose the method that is super easy, highly profitable and the least work for everyone - school discount cards! Avoid all of the unnecessary hassles, and do something that is fun for all who participate.

If you have been involved in planning a fundraiser for your church or school group in previous years, you know that it can be stressful; you also know that you may have put in many more hours than you planned to. With discount cards, fundraising doesn’t require near the planning and labor on your part, and is easy for those who are doing the actual selling.
The truth of the matter is that raising funds for any cause can be filled with problems. You must choose a product that is profitable, but also one that is easy to sell. Factoring the age group in is essential, because some products that are commonly used in fundraisers are just not suitable for younger children. Children often sell candy bars, which gets to be a headache when the number missing out of the box doesn’t match with the amount of money collected. It’s too easy for friends and relatives to eat a bar thinking they will put the money in the box later, then forget. Carrying around the candy can also be cumbersome for smaller children, so there are better ideas.
With discount cards, fundraising is super easy for everyone involved from the planning stage to actual selling of the product. Since there are no heavy products to carry around, discount cards are the perfect choice even for young children. They can hand over the card upon payment from the customer, and everything is complete at that point. No catalogs to tote around, no product to have to come back around and deliver later on down the road.
There are literally hundreds of products you can sell and things that can be done to raise the funds you need, but why not do it the easiest way possible? With discount cards, fundraising is as easy as it gets. Customers don’t mind at all spending $10 on a card that offers them so much value for their money. Most of these cards offer savings on products and services at a dozen or more local merchants. Customers love the fact that not only are they supporting your cause, they are also supporting the local community by patronizing merchants in the area. In fact, discount cards will allow those who purchase them to save well over the $10 they originally spent over a years time!
When you use discount cards, fundraising becomes very profitable; in fact, the bigger your group the higher the profit margin. Many products actually aren’t very profitable, meaning your group must sell a huge quantity of the products in order to meet their monetary goals. This is another detail you have to think about when you are in the planning stages. How profitable is the product, and how many will have to be sold? Is it something that people will want to spend money on, or is the purchase price unreasonable? Many people these days are on a tight budget, and do not want to spend $12 on cookie dough or other goods that really offer little value. Consumers want real, honest savings which is exactly what discount cards provide.
If you are in a quandary about what to sell in your next project to raise money, consider discount cards Fundraising has never been easier than this, and you will find that the hassles are minimal compared to other things you may have tried in your past efforts.
