If you haven’t witnessed the amazing results that church fundraising cards yield for your projects, you’re missing out on an incredible opportunity to not only raise the money you need easily, but to get more people in your church involved. It’s natural for people to get tired of the “same old thing.” Bake sales, car washes, multiple-family yard sales, candy bars – these things all have their place, and are effective for raising money – but church fundraising cards are so much better!
Everyone in your church would be much more willing to participate if they knew they had a product that is easy to sell – and that requires far less work. Can you imagine how easy it is to carry these wallet-sized cards around in your purse or pocket? With church fundraising cards, you have an opportunity to sell wherever you are; at school, work, at the local grocery store, or even when you dine out. It’s just so much easier when you don’t have heavy boxes to lug around, or catalogs and order forms to keep up with.
Another reason those in your church will be excited about any project is that the profit margins are incredible with church fundraising cards; therefore, it takes far fewer sales to equal or exceed what you would have made with other products. These cards are truly incredible; not only does the customer get a great deal, the entire local community gets extra support. The offers you typically find on the back of the cards are savings and discounts at merchants in your own neighborhood, so they really benefit everyone which is not something you can say about every product used today for fundraising purposes.
Sure, bake sales and other group activities are great – they allow the members of the church to get together and have a good time. However, some people just don’t want to get involved because of the planning and preparation necessary; and with the busy lives most people live today, they just don’t have the time. Church fundraising cards are great to use all on their own, or combined with any other activities you want to do to raise the money you need for your project.
How do you get started with this fantastic opportunity? Simply contact the company that is responsible for putting the church fundraising cards together. They will normally contact your local merchants for you, design the cards with your logo or organization name on the front, and ship them to you. In some cases, you don’t even have to pay for the cards upfront! It is truly an incredible opportunity for your church; people of all ages can participate, from the elementary age children to the elderly.
Here’s a quick question: How many candy bars would you have to sell to raise $1,250 – 800, 1000 or more? With church fundraising cards, you can make this amount of money simply by selling 250 cards! If you have 30 or 40 in your group that want to participate, you can far exceed that amount; in fact, with this many people you could nearly triple that amount. By now, it should be sinking in just how profitable – and easy – it is to raise the money you need, without all of the hard work. Ready to give church fundraising cards a try?
