If you have ever gone through a stressful ordeal in your attempts to raise money for church needs, church fundraising cards offer a simple solution. Raising money for the youth group, a new church bus, a new building or any other need can be a huge undertaking. Choose the wrong product, and you have to make a tremendous effort to sell enough of the product to meet your goals. Church fundraising cards do away with all of the stress and hassles, and make even the planning stages easy.
What makes church fundraising cards different from selling candy, cookie dough and other popular fundraising products? For one thing, there is no bulky product to haul around from one place to another. These products have been popular for years, and have been successful for raising money for church needs. However, there are simpler ways to raise the money without toting around bulky products that don’t offer much value for the money. Church fundraising cards offer tremendous value, which is important in times when people have little money to spend and want the most for their money.
What is essential in planning any type of fundraiser for your church is that you choose products or activities that allow you to make a good profit margin. Why work harder than you have to, by selling products that you must sell an impossible number of in order to collect the money you need? With church fundraising cards, the profit margins are higher than with most of the popular products available today. In fact, the more you order the higher your profit margin, so if you have a large group of people involved in selling you can raise a significant amount of money easily. This makes the planning easy, and there is no worry about taking orders, shipping, and other aspects that cause additional work.
In your fundraising efforts, it makes a difference what age group you are working with. It can be very hard for small children to tote around products and catalogs, and keep up with it all. Taking orders, adding sales tax, and then having to go back at a later date to deliver the orders can be stressful and time consuming. With church fundraising cards, the product easily fits in to a back pocket or purse, and there is no ordering or shipping to worry about. From the planning stages to the actual selling of the product, every detail is easy for all who are involved in the project.
Customers are happy to pay $10 for church fundraising cards, which makes them super easy to sell. These cards offer tremendous value, as they offer savings and discounts on products and services at local and national merchants in your area. Whether it is fast food, a haircut or service on your vehicle, you can save more money over one years time than you actually pay for the card. Friends, family and neighbors appreciate the fact that in buying church fundraising cards, they not only support the needs of the church but the local community as well. When you think of all of the benefits, it just makes good sense!
If you have been involved projects to raise money for your church or youth group before, you know it can be a real headache and tons of work. When a new project rolls around, consider church fundraising cards – it’s a decision you will be glad you made, and everyone involved will find it easier than ever before to raise the money you need.
