The Power of Fundraising Discount Cards

Fundraising discount cards are one powerful little card when you need to raise money for your school, church group or other non-profit organization. Currently, most people are experiencing the impact of a down-trodden economy; it's not easy to sell products that people don't actually need, as most are trying to save every dime possible. Fundraising discount cards offer value that the customer can see and feel - in their pocketbook. Why? Because these cards save them money for an entire year on products and services they would have spent money on regardless, such as food, hair cuts and an oil change for the car.

If you have been involved in fundraising for long, you know the popular and common items used to raise money - candy bars, jerky, popcorn, cookie dough, candles, etc. People get tired of the same old thing, particularly when they are on a shoestring budget and do not have to have that candy bar or popcorn.

Fundraising discount cards are one powerful little card when you need to raise money for your school, church group or other non-profit organization.

Fundraising discount cards offer value that the customer can see and feel - in their pocketbook. Why? Because these cards save them money for an entire year on products and services they would have spent money on regardless, such as food, hair cuts and an oil change for the car.

If you have been involved in fundraising for long, you know the popular and common items used to raise money - candy bars, jerky, popcorn, cookie dough, candles, etc. People get tired of the same old thing, particularly when they are on a shoestring budget and do not have to have that candy bar or popcorn. However, when you present fundraising discount cards to your potential customer and explain how they work, it is far easier to make the sale. The profits are incredible, too. You will find that you can make far more money with far fewer sales when you choose these wallet-sized cards.

Another reason fundraising discount cards are so powerful is because they help support your own community, which few other products do. Local businesses can increase their customer base, as new customers who purchase the cards will come in and purchase a product or service to get the discount. For example, someone with a card may go in to the local beauty salon for the first time and receive 10% or 20% off of getting their hair cut or colored, and may become a customer for life. This helps keep money circulating in your own local economy.

Does your group need to raise $500 so that the youth group can enjoy a weekend camping out and going to a fun-filled day at the local waterslide park? Maybe you're in need of $5,000, $10,000 or more so for an addition to the school library. Perhaps the football or cheerleading team needs new uniforms or is going on a week-long trip and needs funds. Whatever the reason, fundraising discount cards provide an easy, profitable solution. You're not limited as with other products either, because the cards are so easy to carry with you everywhere you go. Sell them at work, school, sports activities - you can literally sell them wherever you may be.

One fact about fundraising discount cards that you may not know is that the more cards you order, the cheaper the price - which means higher profits for your group. On average, one person can easily sell 10 cards, so if you intend to have 50 people doing the selling you want to purchase at least 500 cards, but it would be smart to purchase a few more in case you need them. Here is a quick example of the pricing structure:

Order 500 cards, and your cost is $3 per card meaning your profit is $7 per card. Order 1,000, and your cost is $2 per card. Order 2,000 cards and you pay just $1.75 per card. The more cards your group is capable of selling, the more profitable you will be! In addition, you get 200 free cards for every 1,000 you order so the money you can make is truly incredible.

If you already have a fundraising activity planned or are selling another product, why not add fundraising discount cards in to the mix? People love to save money; they always have, and they always will. No matter how much money your group or organization needs, count on these money-savings cards to get the job done, without all of the work, preparation and hassle.
