Posted on 08/03/2006Have you ever considered having a discount fundraiser card created for your group and using that as your main fundraising idea?
Custom Designed Discount Cards for Your Fundraiser
Discount cards are one of the most profitable fundraisers used historically for school fundraising. The fundraiser discount cards are the size of a typical credit card. The front of the card is custom designed for your fundraising programs. You may choose your logo or your team mascot to be placed on the front or your custom fundraiser discount card. Most fundraising companies will allow almost anything reasonable placed on the front of your card, providing you can produce the proper artwork.
The back of the card is where the value is. Typically, you will get between six and 12 local merchants who propose special offers to the purchasers of your custom designed discount cards. These deals range from buy one get one free offers, to discounts off purchases. Each card generally retails for about $10 and can be used as often as the purchaser likes; as long as it is prior to the expiration date on the discount card. Usually merchants allow the offers to be honored for approximately one year.
Possible Options for Your Discount Cards
Pizza discounts are often good for a free pizza when you buy a large pizza. Oil change companies typically offer a $3 or larger discount on oil changes. Dry cleaners offer discounts on cleaning services. Your fundraiser card may offer discounts on video rentals, haircuts, tanning facilities, baked goods, or car washes. Be creative and customize your fundraiser discount card with your local merchant's special offers.
