Fundraising - Choosing between Discount Cards And Others.

If you ever tried fundraising products such as chocolate bars or candles you already know that there are some difficulties associated with storage and transportation. The person usually ends up using her living room as a storeroom, then the countless trips to the loading and unloading of goods from the vehicle. Where I live in Florida, we have the additional problem with heat. Storage in the garage, as it may be 80 to 90 degrees there, next to Candy bars and candles can not be carried in a suitcase left in a car that has not cooled, or you can end with a large bar with a 20-in wrapper medium or large candle with many wicks.

With the discount card fundraising storage and transportation is a breeze, one or two fields, depending on the size of your business.

But what about the distribution, or your business is small as a scout or girl scout troop (10-12 children), then this is a non-issue. But if 300 people in the group, a chain of command (more loading and unloading of boxes). If you click on your money with the bus, you do not have them every 15 to 10 pound boxes of chocolate? Hand or an envelope? Cards with each coach simply gets an envelope and give each child / parent a few cards directly to the practice in the field. Candy Bars with a parking lot meeting before or after practice (that does not work here in Florida, they would be melted) and what do you do with the extra box for that child, that the lack of practice on this day?

With logistics aside, you can economically veiw.

Candy bars with the club or organization of the money (about 50% of revenues). The money is collected and then the family eats the bars. Make sure the chocolate is higher quality than in the store, but they are not much, so the result is that the family eats 10 kg more than the price of chocolate, or a sale to an outsider, they do not always spend it many with the appearance of a product to the hands. Value what it is, it is gone 5 minutes later. How often is a gift, if the person does not want the Candy Bar?

Maps with the organization makes 50% to 90% of local businesses and attracting new customers or the loyalty of their existing customers, which is not only good for the community, but also tends to increase awareness and sponsorship. When a card sales are usually their money with one or two uses of the card with the change in their shopping habits. However, they use the card for a whole year, the store several times the cost of the card. People see that the offers on the back of the card and then ask if they buy when they see how much is it for them.
