Schools Fundraisers: Offer Great Discount Cards

Schools Fundraisers: Offer Great Discount Cards

            Schools fundraisers can be done in a wide array of ways. You can try out different fundraising ideas based on your taste and preferences; the amount of funds that you need; and the style of campaign that you’d like to do.

            The most common type of schools fundraisers that people have been doing for a really long time already would be products sales campaigns. The premise of these fundraising campaigns is really simple, you sell products and gain profits from the sales that you generate. Discount cards are considered as one of the most ideal fundraising products to sell out today because they’re really popular to people because of the huge advantages that they can offer. These fundraising products bring in a good amount of revenue because they offer an average profit of $10 for each sale that’s made. What’s even better about these types of fundraising products is that they will allow each of your sales volunteers to produce an average of 10 sales. Take this into consideration along with their profit margins that typically range from 80 to 90 percent and you’ll discover that these things offer a lot more profit when compared to other types of fundraising products.

            Fundraising discount cards offer three major benefits specifically, they are really easy to sell out to people; they offer some pretty good value to customers; and they have a large potential to produce excellent results. There are three major types of discount cards namely shopping cards, pizza cards, and fast food cards. Each of these fundraising products offer a good set of benefits, which you can easily explain to your supporters. These fundraising products have a widespread appeal and you can offer them through the use of a sales brochure or through immediate sales.

            Discount shopping cards are wallet-sized cards that are designed to offer a selection of prearranged discounts in different national and local merchants within your community. Most of these products typically offer a dozen of different special offers that will allow people to save a certain percentage discount or a fixed amount. Each of these cards usually retails for an average of $10 and offers unlimited usage of special offers contained within it. However, some cards are custom-made to feature a special discount, which can only be used once from a sponsoring merchant.

            Next in line are pizza discount cards. These are different from the first one I’ve discussed because they are tied to only one merchant, which is usually a national pizza chain. This type of card typically offers 2-for-1 offers for every order and usually costs $10. The card can be used for a year.

            Lastly, fast food discount cards are those that are designed to be used for a specific fast food chain. In addition, they are usually limited to one or two locations or branches of a particular chain. These fundraising products have a retail price of $10 and often cost $2 less, which means that they are a better moneymaker.
