Church fundraising cards are the perfect solution when you just come up blank on how to raise the money your church or youth group needs. After all, how many bake sales and car washes can you hold before these ideas are worn out and exhausted? There are many fun activities that get all of the church involved which is important for Christians, but there are times you simply need the best solution to raise money fast. This is where church fundraising cards come in; profit margins are higher than the average product, and the customer gets real value for their money which is essential today.
Raffles, auctions and choir concerts are great, and provide fun for the community as well, but do the consumers who spend their money really get something that is valuable? In economic times like we are currently experiencing most people are not going to spend their hard-earned money unless they are really getting something they need, something that offers them real value. Church fundraising cards provide this need; with a dozen or more merchant offers on the back of the card, consumers can save a substantial amount of money on food, activities, car services and other products or services. These savings go on for a one year time period, which means that those who buy the church fundraising cards will save much more than the $10 they spent for the card.
While church fundraising cards are possibly the best product ever for raising the funds you need for your church, what makes them even easier to sell? When consumers know about the cause they are supporting, they are even more likely to contribute. For example, if those residents who live in your area realize you are trying to raise the money to send the youth group on a mission trip, don’t you think they will be more compelled to buy church fundraising cards to support the cause? You bet they will! Not only that, they realize that the merchants listed on the cards are local, and it makes people feel good when they know they are supporting their own community as well as the needs of the church.
Church fundraising cards are nothing new; in fact, they’ve been around for several years now, and continue to be just as popular as ever when you need to raise funds for any church need. You should never stop holding the tried and true (and often fun) activities such as car washes and bake sales; after all, these are some of the best times enjoyed by members of the church as they fellowship and worship God. Who’s to say that you can’t use several methods to raise the money you need for that new church van or basketball goal for the youth? By increasing your efforts and using church fundraising cards simultaneously with other activities, you can quickly raise the money you need and still have fun doing it.
The bottom line is: People love real value, they want to know that they are really getting something for their money. To make your fundraising efforts more profitable than ever before, add church fundraising cards to the mix! It won’t require any more effort than what you are already doing; just think of the cards as icing on the cake. In the same amount of time you spend preparing and carrying out other fundraising projects, you can be tripling your profits – which means that new church van is closer than ever to becoming a reality.
