Yes, car washes, yard sales and bingo can be fun, and many parishioners get involved – but do they make enough money  to make a huge difference or to be able to replace a roof or refinish the pews??  Perhaps consider adding fundraiser cards to the mix. By participating in both types of activities, you will have still have fun and share fellowship While at the same time Increasing your fundraising profits, Building bonds through creating something substantial and also building ties within the community … oh did I mention the huge margins ?

Church fundraising cards are so easy to sell, and there is little work involved so they are the perfect complement to cook book sales and other activities the church may get involved in to raise funds for their needs.  Consider them the “bonus” on top of whatever you make through auctions, talent shows, donations and all of those common methods of bringing extra money in for those projects.  People do tend to get tired of the planning and work that go in to fundraisers, but then they do it all over again the next time because after all – it is ultimately fun, and it does help raise some money.  With church fundraising cards added in the mix, raising a substantial amount of money becomes much easier.

In a way, you can actually enjoy those other activities you participate in more because you won’t be so worried about the selling end of things.  You know the church fundraising cards will allow you to bring in a considerable amount of cash, so you can relax and enjoy yourself a bit more.  Bake sales offer the perfect opportunity for visiting with people you know in your community; they also offer a great opportunity to offer church fundraising cards!

That’s the beauty of these incredible cards.  No matter what else you may be doing to raise money, they can be included right along with the other products or activities you are involved in.  Church fundraising cards offer incredible value to the customer, which in turn makes them easy to sell.  Who doesn’t want to save money on haircuts, flowers, fast foods, movie rentals and those other products or services you normally spend money on anyway?  You will find that when you have church fundraising cards on display while you are selling your baked goods or cookbooks, you will generate a lot of interest – and sales.

Most people can afford $10, especially when they realize how much they will save over a one year time period.  Do customers perceive candy bars and cookie dough to be of great value?  Not likely – and they know that after they spend $2 or $3, it will be over the lips and straight to the tummy in no time, which means there will be nothing left to show for the money they spent.  With church fundraising cards, people realize that they are supporting the needs of your church, their own local community, and most of all – their own need to save money and stay within their own budget.  It is really the best solution all the way around, not only for your money needs but for the customer and the merchants in your own area.

Why not mix things up a bit?  The next time your church participates in product sales or other activities in order to gather the funds you need for those repairs, new church vans or youth trips, add church fundraising cards to whatever else you have to offer!  People recognize incredible savings and real value when they see it; the selling will be a non-issue, as these cards sell themselves.  Have fun doing those activities that are traditions in your church, and raise the money you need in far less time – the perfect scenario for profits and good times.
