Are you in search of an effective school fundraising idea?
Offering products that families regularly use and are willing to spend on is a smart strategy. Fortunately, there are alternatives to big events or catalog-based fundraisers, which can often overwhelm supporters with non-essential items.
In this series, we explore three school fundraising ideas. Part Three is all about Prepaid Phone Cards.
Why Choose Prepaid Phone Cards?
Prepaid phone cards are a simple product with several advantages:
1. Easy to sell
2. Good value for money
3. Excellent fundraising results
What You Need to Know
Similar to discount cards, prepaid phone cards can be a powerful fundraising tool. Various suppliers offer $10 cards that can be personalized with your group's name and logo. For an extra fee, you can even add custom artwork to the card, enhancing your brand's presence.
These cards come in various denominations, such as $20, $25, and $30, and include different features like talk minutes, international rates, and access charges.
Profit margins for prepaid phone cards are comparable to other product-based fundraising ideas. The key is to find cards that provide great value to your supporters.
Think about your potential customers: families with college students, relatives living far away, frequent travelers, or those who make international calls. Look for features that appeal to these groups. Due to their versatility, customization options, and broad market, phone cards are excellent fundraising tools.
Competing with Major Retailers
You may find it challenging to match the deals offered by major retailers like Wal-Mart, Target, and K-Mart while maintaining a desirable 40% profit margin.
When evaluating fundraisers like phone cards, consider staying with a $10 card offering decent value, or aim for the best retail market offerings.
For instance, you could create a simple brochure featuring AT&T phone cards from Wal-Mart. Instead of a 60-70 minute card for $10, consider offering a 120-minute AT&T card for $15.
In your sales pitch, highlight the value of adding more minutes later via Wal-Mart or AT&T at competitive rates.
Craft a brochure with three or four options, maintaining profit margins between 25% and 35%. These cards offer excellent value and brand recognition. For example, a 120-minute card at $10, a 250-minute card at $18, and a 500-minute card at $30.
Use your brochure to collect orders and try to negotiate a special bulk discount with your local Wal-Mart, as they are very fundraiser-friendly.
Why Phone Cards Work
Prepaid phone cards rank highly among school fundraisers for profitability each year. Their strong sales volumes, healthy profit margins, and ease of sale make them a fantastic fundraising option.
