Benefits Of Raising Money Through A Discount Card Fundraiser

By Rosella Campbell


Organizations often find themselves at wits end trying to devise ways to raise the money that they need. The have committees that toss around the usual ideas of bake sales and car washes, but what if there was a better way that produced results beyond comparison to any other method of raising money. While there are many ways of raising funds, a discount card fundraiser by far is the best idea of them all.

By far savings cards are and have always been a good method for raising the money your organization needs. They are versatile and your customers will love them because they are getting value for the money that they spend. Local merchants appreciate the fact that their customers use these cards because it means more business for them and equals more profits for your organization. This means no lugging around heavy boxes, or baking in the hot sun washing cars.

Some of the discounts that are offered depends on the company you work with to establish your own custom cards. They will do all the work of setting them up with local merchants and all your group has to do is distribute them at the selling price. Some groups have realized profits between 50% and even 90%. That is much more money raised in a shorter amount of time than say a bake sale.

People like saving money and they will appreciate that fact that you are actually offering them something of value for their money. It is a great incentive for sales and you do not have to be a great salesperson in order to sell these cards. They sell themselves simply by the savings they offer the customer.

While many groups focus on creating consumable items such as cookies, cakes and candy bars, there is only so much of these items that you can sell. It has been done so much that sales are few and far between. When you offer savings to your customer that they can take to the bank, that is what will turn your fundraising efforts around and put you in profit fast.

There are no limits to what your group can achieve. Simply find a company that offers this type of service and make the arrangements with them to produce your cards. There is little work involved other than selling the product to your customers and collecting the funds raised for your organization's needs. The company that produces the cards will handle all the rest of the details of putting together the savings package.

Raising funds your group needs does not have to be a painful process. Your group should be more focused on its purpose for existing and not so much on selling. This idea can save your organization a lot of headaches and trouble yet give you what you need which is funding in order to carry on. It is not something that is new but has been around for a while, savings cards are quickly becoming the preferred method of raising money for organizations everywhere.

Make your next group project an easy one and order your savings cards and watch the profits start rolling in. You will be surprised and elated at the amount of money you can raise from this simple yet effective idea. Your customers will thank you and local businesses will love you.
