Here are a few facts about church fundraising cards from various angles:
From the customers point of view – To the customer, church fundraising cards offer real value, which is something you do not find with candy bars, candles, and other common products frequently used in fundraisers. Since the cards offer discounts and buy one get one free offers on products and services available in the customers own community, they experience substantial savings over a one year time period, and the card costs them only $10! This is particularly important right now, as many people are out of work and need to save money every way possible.
From the merchants point of view – Church fundraising cards normally offer savings at 12 to 15 different merchants, many of them local to the community. When someone purchases a card, there are often savings and discounts listed at merchants that person may not have spent money with before. The buyer of the card decides to try out the service or
product, whether it’s a burger with free fries or a 20% discount on an oil change. This means that the merchant has a potential new customer who will possibly come back again and again!
