Article Body
If you’re looking for fundraising ideas, you’re in good company. Many groups aim to find simple fundraisers with significant results. Selling discount cards is one of the most effective methods available.
Discount cards deliver substantial revenue at $10 each, averaging about 10 sales per seller. With profit margins between 80% and 90%, they outperform most other fundraising products.
These cards offer several benefits:
- Easy to sell
- Provide great value
- Yield excellent results
Types of Fundraising Discount Cards
1. Shopping Cards
2. Pizza Cards
3. Fast Food Cards
Each type has unique benefits that are easy to explain to supporters. They have broad appeal and can be sold immediately or via brochure.
Discount Shopping Cards
What are discount shopping cards? They are wallet-sized cards offering prearranged discounts at local and national merchants. Typically, they feature a dozen special offers, saving either a fixed amount or a percentage.
Each card retails for $10 and usually allows unlimited use, except when customized for a one-time offer. For instance, a $5 discount from an oil change company can already justify the purchase.
Other offers include discounts on fast food, sandwiches, video rentals, haircuts, free ice cream, and more. Given their high perceived value, they are excellent fundraisers. It’s common for each seller to make ten or more sales.
Additionally, cards can be customized with your school’s name and logo, reinforcing your group’s presence for future fundraisers. Valid for a year, they also create a cycle for repeat sales.
My book, Fundraising Success!, offers a supplier cross-reference with 27 providers of these cards. You can find it on my website at www.fundraiserhelp.com. Always research suppliers thoroughly, as costs for 1,000 units can vary from $5 to as low as $1.00.
Discount shopping cards are a perennial favorite and pair well with candy or catalog fundraisers.
Pizza Discount Cards
What is a pizza card? It’s a discount card linked to one merchant, often a national chain, typically offering a two-for-one deal for $10, valid for a year.
Offers usually apply to a single location or a group of outlets. Some allow 21 uses, translating to substantial savings. Usage is tracked with punched holes on the card. Most require an initial purchase of a large pizza, with the free one being medium-sized.
Pizza cards are popular school fundraisers because pizza is a favorite among children and teens. Suppliers may vary, so shopping around is wise.
Overall, pizza cards are profitable and easy to sell.
Fast Food Discount Cards
What should you know about fast food discount cards? These cards are usually tied to one fast food chain and specific locations. Priced at $10, they often cost less than $2 to purchase, making them highly profitable. Offers typically include a free item with purchase, such as a hamburger or a soda.
Cards are generally valid for a year and limited to about ten uses. Check details as offers differ by chain.
Participating national chains include:
- McDonald’s
- Burger King
- Subway
- Dairy Queen
- Pizza Hut
- Domino’s Pizza
- Papa John’s Pizza
