Churches, schools and other non-profit organizations often have to depend on their own creative ideas in order to raise the money needed for projects.  If your group has never given fundraiser cards a try, your next project may be a good place to start.  No matter what other products you sell or activities you participate in to raise money, you will find fundraiser cards are a top money maker – and easy to sell due to their incredible value to the customer.

Although they have been around for years, it’s really surprising how many organizations have yet to see what fundraiser cards are capable of.  When you do, you will be amazed at the profitability and the true value to the customer – and selling a product that makes the customer feel good makes you feel good as well.  Recently, times have been hard for most people due to the economy and loss of jobs.  Fundraiser cards are the perfect item during times like these, because they allow people to save so much money on products and services they would have spent money on regardless, no matter what shape their finances are in.

What makes fundraiser cards so different from other products that are commonly used for raising funds?  The customer receives discounts on a dozen or more merchants in their own local area; this could be for fast food, a hair cut, movie rental, oil change for the car, even flowers at the local florist.  These discounts are good for a one year period, so you can only imagine how much the customer could save over that length of time – and the cards are only $10, just a drop in the bucket compared to the savings they will experience.

Now, what can you expect the perks to be for your group or organization?  There are many, and you’ll love every one of them.  To start, fundraiser cards are easy to sell because of the value we just discussed.  They are easy to carry around with you, because they are the size of a credit card – so there are no boxes or cartons to lug around.  Just put them in your pocket, purse or wallet, and you’re ready to offer a card wherever the opportunity presents itself.

The amazing profits are what really make fundraiser cards such a winner for any organization.  Today, you just don’t find many products that allow you to make a substantial amount of money easily.  To demonstrate how profitable these cards can be, lets suppose that you have 30 people who will be participating in your fundraiser.  On average, one person will easily sell 10 or more fundraiser cards, which means that your group would sell approximately 300 cards.  When 300 cards are ordered, your profit margin stands at 50%, which means you earn $5 per card or $1,500 for your cause!

Now, the more cards ordered, the higher the profit margin so if you were to order 1,000 cards which would be suitable if there were about 100 participants in your group, profit margins would increase to 100%!  Your cost per card for this amount would be $2, but you receive 200 cards free for every 1,000 ordered, so your total profit would ring in at around $10,000 – is that incredible?

Merchants in your local area will benefit as well, as fundraiser cards help send new customers in their direction.  When a customer buys a card, they are highly likely to visit a merchant they have never visited before if they will save money.  This could mean new customers for the merchants in your area, which stimulates your local economy – super important in times like we are now experiencing.  When you really think about it, fundraiser cards really benefit everyone all the way around; the customer gets to save money, the merchants attract new business, and your group or organization can easily and quickly raise a substantial amount of money.

Now can you understand why fundraiser cards should be included in your efforts to raise money?  No matter what other activities you participate in or what products you sell, add fundraiser cards to the mix.  You will never be disappointed with the results, and you will see that there really is a way to raise the money your group needs without the hard work and preparation.

If your organization, school or church has held many fundraisers in the past, you may be curious as to the results you might achieve by using fundraiser cards.  No doubt you have heard of them as they have been around for years – but if your group has not tried them, you have no idea about the benefits or profits.  In all honesty, fundraiser cards are the one and only item you can sell that offers your group amazing profits, and the customer real value for their money.

Consider the state of the economy today; what would people rather spend their hard-earned money on, a $2 candy bar or a $10 fundraiser card that will help them save ten times that amount or more over a year’s time?  For most people, the answer to that is a no-brainer – people want real value, a way to save money whenever possible.  When you save a dollar or two here and there, it really begins to add up quickly.

The great thing about fundraiser cards (other than the obvious things we’ve already mentioned) is that you can use them any way you like.  Whether your organization is sponsoring a walk-a-thon or your school is holding a concert to raise money, fundraiser cards can be used in conjunction with those activities.  That’s not to say that you necessarily need to do it that way, because the cards generate incredible profits all on their own!  There is no other product today that is so profitable, and that you can quickly sell because people actually need the product.

You already know that raising the funds you need for new school playground equipment, a new addition to a building, or even something that doesn’t cost that much can be hard and laborious.  You begin in the preparation stages, gathering everyone you can to participate; you decide on a product or activity, then you have to decide when it will be held and where.  If you have to do any decorating, cooking, getting costumes together or other work in order to get everything ready in time, it can be exhausting.

Because of this, many people decide they do not want to participate in fundraising events any more, especially those loyal few who have been doing it for years.  Fundraiser cards eliminate nearly all of the planning and preparation, and it’s actually fun which means more people will be willing to participate!  It’s time to put the “fun” back in to fundraising, and get people involved again.

Truth be told, it warms the heart to know you are offering people who are not financially secure a way to save money.  Fundraiser cards offer discounts at a dozen or more of your local merchants on services and products that most people spend money on on a regular basis.  This means your local economy is stimulated, because these merchants experience an increase in business.  Can you see how fundraiser cards help the entire community as a whole?

There are few products (if any) that offer such incredible value to the customer, while allowing your group or organization to earn fantastic profits – all while supporting the economy in your own neighborhood!  One more thing you may find a pleasant change from what you’ve been doing – no bulky products to lug around, and no return visits to the customer to deliver the goods.  If you’re ready to try something easier and far more profitable, give fundraiser cards a try; after all these years, isn’t it time you found out why they are still so popular today?

Fundraiser cards are without a doubt the VERY best way to raise money for any church, school, sports team or other non-profit organization needs.  Those who have been involved in fundraising many times know that there are literally hundreds of methods you can use to raise the funds you need, but how much work is involved – and is it profitable?  It makes no sense to work yourself to the bones to only see fair results at best.  Fundraiser cards solve this problem; you can raise all of the cash you need quickly, without all of the back-breaking work and planning.

It isn’t all that hard to raise hundreds of dollars, but when it comes to thousands you need something that really rakes in the profits quickly. Fundraiser cards are super profitable; in fact, they are most likely the most profitable product you will come across when looking for ways to raise the money you need.  Today, the economy is not in good shape and most people don’t have extra money to spend.  When they do spend money, they want something that offers real value.

Fundraiser cards offer great discounts and buy-one-get-one-free offers on products and services that most people use frequently, such as fast food, haircuts, family activities and oil changes.  For a mere $10, the customer can save on these things for the next year – and who wouldn’t rather save a bundle than pay $2 for a candy bar that will be gone in 10 minutes?  The common fundraising items that have been popular for years are great, but they may not be the most profitable and there is more work involved.

The great thing about fundraiser cards is that they practically sell themselves; offer them to your friends, family members, co-workers and other acquaintances every where you go, and since they are just the size of a credit cards they’re easy to carry around with you at all times.  In fact, when your customer uses their card at a local merchant, who knows what may happen?  The girl checking you out may decide she wants one for herself, and you’ve made an easy sale!

Just how profitable are these handy little cards? Even if you have a small group participating, say 20 kids at church, you can expect to raise over $1,000, depending on how many cards each person sells.  On average, most people can easily sell 10 to 15 cards apiece; think what your profit margins will be if you have a group of 50 or 60 joining in the fun!  You could easily raise $3,500 to $7,000 – and think how far that would go toward your goal.

It’s important today that people support their own local community, and the merchants in that community so that the economy remains stable. Fundraiser cards help you accomplish this; not only do customers realize they are helping you meet your goal, they know that the money is staying within their own neighborhood.

Fundraiser cards are a top fundraising product today not only because of the profit margins, but because there is very little work or planning involved.  The company you purchase them from will secure the participation of local merchants, print the cards up for you, and even place your group or organization name or logo on the front.  Once you receive them, all you need to do is account for how many you hand out to each participant!  What could be easier or offer more value to people in your local community?  Count on fundraiser cards when you want superior results and SUPER profits quick.

Whether you have a sports team, school or church group or other non-profit organization in need of money, fundraiser cards are the one way that you can raise the funds you need quickly and with much less effort than other methods you may have tried.  While they have been around for years, fundraiser cards continue to be the number one product for generating the profits you need for your project.

Sure, other products have been around for years as well.  While candy bars, cookie dough, jerky, popcorn, catalog sales and other products do work to raise the funds you need, fundraiser cards beat them hands down, especially when the economy isn’t in the greatest shape.  In times like this, people tend to be a bit tighter with their money, and don’t want to let go of it unless they feel they are getting an incredible deal, which is exactly what they get with fundraiser cards.

Let’s suppose that your second grade elementary class needs to raise $7,000 for their part in building a new library.  How many candy bars are you going to have to sell to raise this kind of cash?  Way more than you even want to think about, and candy bars generally don’t sell that well in times of job loss, high unemployment rates and cut backs.  How many fundraiser cards would your second grade class have to sell to raise the same $7,000?  Around 1,000, which would be much easier than having to sell 5,000 candy bars.

Why should you choose fundraiser cards for your project?  There are literally dozens of reasons, and first off is the profitability.  It makes sense to choose a product that requires far less sales to equal the same or greater profits of selling 3 times as many of another product!  Add to that the fact that customers love something that offers real value, and they know it when they see it.  The selling is the easy part when customers realize that by spending $10, they save far more than that amount at merchants in their own neighborhood over the next year.

What do fundraiser cards offer that make them so popular?  Discounts and buy one get one free offers on food, family activities like bowling, hair cuts, flowers, fitness, oil changes and more.  The offers you find on fundraiser cards are those things that the average person spends money on throughout the year, so they are super easy to sell.  An added plus is that consumers are smart, and they know that supporting their local merchants helps improve the economy in their area.

One big reason that many churches, schools and other organizations choose these cards is that there is so little work involved.  When you choose a company to design and print the cards for you, they may contact the merchants in your area to secure their participation, meaning you don’t have to do it yourself!  With fundraising cards, you simply place the order, hand the cards out to those participating, and reap exceptional profits.  Doesn’t that sound better than spending hours in the kitchen baking cookies and other goodies, then spending all day in the hot sun trying to sell them for a measly $200 or $300 in profits?

Very little preparation or planning, easy sales and incredible profits are just a few of the benefits of using fundraiser cards to raise the money you need.  If you want to see explosive results for your efforts, try fundraiser cards and see what you think – you won’t be disappointed!

At one time or another throughout the year, most groups or organizations need to raise money for a special cause.  Fundraiser cards make the entire process easy from beginning to end!  If you have participated in raising money for school or church groups or other organizations in the past, you know it can be a process filled with headaches.  Fundraiser cards make it easy on the person who directs the event, as well as those selling the product.  Customers love them because of the real value they offer at a minimal expense.

There are many different types of fundraiser cards.  Some are good only on pizza, some for prepaid cell phones, and others offer discounts and specials from a wide variety of local and national merchants.  People know a good deal when they see one, and who wouldn’t love paying only $10 for a fundraiser card that offers so many savings?  These cards are good for one year, so depending on how often the customer uses the card they can save a substantial amount of money!

Small children and teenagers often feel a sense of accomplishment and pride when they are able to be successful raising money for their cause.  Fundraiser cards make this so easy, because they sell quickly unlike other common fundraiser products.  If a customer doesn’t feel that a chocolate candy bar they will probably eat in one sitting is worth $2.00, they likely won’t buy it.  Who wouldn’t see that value in fundraiser cards that offer savings for services and products most people use or buy on a regular basis?  These cards sell so easily, those who do the selling will feel they have done their part in raising the funds needed for their cause.

Organizing a fundraiser can be a great deal of work.  You write letters, try to get merchants to participate or offer a prize, round up support and attempt to find a product that will be easy for participants to sell.  It can be very frustrating, and often requires much more time and effort than you imagined it would.  Some companies that offer fundraiser cards take care of a great deal of the work for you, saving you a substantial amount of time and effort.  They may contact your local merchants and gather great deals so that you don’t have to do it yourself!

Put yourself in the customers place, and imagine that someone was offering you cookie dough for $12, or a fundraiser card for $10 filled with savings and discounts on area merchants for an entire year.  Which would you be attracted to most?  It’s easy to see why fundraiser cards are preferred by many schools, churches, and athletic groups to raise the money they need.  A product that is reasonably priced and offers exceptional value is always a winner.

Fundraiser cards offer great profit margins and the profits only grow when you order more cards!  If you have a very large group, you can expect a profit margin of 100% or MORE.  Even if your group is very small, profit margins are still great at 50%.

Think about it this way; to raise $8,000, would you rather have to sell 4,000 items at a $2.00 profit, or sell 1,000 fundraiser cards to make the same $8,000?  The answer to that question is plain to see.  Why not sell less of an item that is super easy to sell and offers great value to the customer, and make the money you need?  Fundraiser cards are the perfect answer when you need to raise funds for your group or organization.
