Generate Money With A Discount Card Fundraiser

By Stacey Burt


Each year many people start a new charity or organization. They aim to help others in their community have access to sports or services. However, each of these enterprises needs lots of money. Usually the only way to get this money is by a range of fund raising events. Some of the most popular include hot dog and lemonade stands in the summer and holiday themed events in the winter.

Fund raising can take place in many different ways. There is such a huge range of options from bake sales and car washes to a discount card fundraiser. Most groups use a combination approach rather than rely on one big event to generate the necessary money. However, it is very important to use time wisely as many people just do not have enough time to help and can quick get burned out.

As the format of the cards is already familiar part of the selling process has already taken place. This can be a huge help for the group, especially for those just getting started. It is also crucial to keep in mind who will be doing the marketing. If the group is primarily children, such as a scout or guide group, the help of parents is essential.

Selling discount cards has long been recognized as a great way to generate funds. Many people are only too happy to purchase the cards as they know they will enjoy many savings and benefits. The cards come in many different values and are redeemable to a variety of locations. Many local and national businesses are happy to participate as they know it will generate extra revenue for them.

The cards are basically available in two main types. One is a card that offers multiple discounts to the same business or service. For example, this can be twenty percent off admission prices for a year. The other type of cards offer one time discounts to a number of different local and national stores. Each year the terms and conditions vary and this should be explained to the customer.

One of the most important things for any group or charity to understand is marketing. The more they learn about effective marketing the more money they will earn. In addition, they can also build up a client base and canvas repeat customers year after year.

Other cards work differently. They are more of a book format and have one time offers to a variety of local businesses. Many people love to buy these books for personal use as they know they can save a lot of money. It is very important that those involved in sales know all about the savings. This enables them to answer questions and interact with their customers in a knowledgeable way.

Good preparation is the key to a successful fund raising event. The organizers should hold meeting to ensure that all their members are knowledgeable about the cards they are selling. The public is much more likely to buy something when they can see tangible benefits to themselves. They also feel more comfortable working with someone who is clearly well informed and helpful. With this in mind it is essential that children and teenagers work with a responsible adult.
