Church Fundraising Cards – High Profit Margins and Easy Sales Make This the Product of Choice
15 Jul 2010
Why have churches all across America turned to church fundraising cards for their fundraising projects? The answer to that is simple – super profits, little preparation and easy sales. For years, churches have been using the same old methods in an attempt to raise the money they need for a youth group trip, new piano, or summer church camp. Sure, bake sales, car washes and huge yard sales are great for raising money, but you can raise the funds you need quickly and without much effort using church fundraising cards.
Imagine offering a customer something that will save them a substantial amount of money over a period of one year. Do you believe most people would rather pay a couple of dollars for a candy bar, $12 for cookie dough, or $10 for a card that lets them save money all year long on food, family activities, hair cuts, car maintenance and more? People are smart, and they know when they are being offered something of real value. Church fundraising cards allow you to offer the customer something they want in times of a tight economy – a way to save money. They also realize they are supporting your church project, and local merchants in their own community, which only helps the local economic conditions.
What do customers save money on when they purchase church fundraising cards? Anything and everything you can imagine. It all depends on which merchants in your area want to participate, but most do simply because it helps increase awareness of their business and brings in new customers. Bridal shops, the local pizza restaurant, floral shops, fitness centers, video rentals – the list is endless as to what discounts and services may be offered on church fundraising cards. When people realize that they can potentially save hundreds of dollars by spending $10, you have an easy product that will quickly raise the funds you need for your project.
Profits are a concern when you are trying to raise money for your church needs, and some products will work you to death by the time you raise the amount necessary to see your project through to completion. With church fundraising cards, you can expect profit margins of between 50% and over 100%, depending on how many cards you order. For example, when you order between 250 and 499 cards, your profit level is 50%, which means you earn $5 on every card you sell. Order 1000, and your profit level skyrockets to 100%, which means that if you sell 1000 cards, your group makes $10,000! Pretty incredible, considering that it would only take on average about 100 people participating in your fundraiser to raise this amount of money.
Many forms of fundraising require a great deal of planning and preparation, some to the point that you are exhausted before you ever begin the actual fundraiser. Even church bake sales require a lot of work from those who do all the baking of pies, cakes, and cookies. With church fundraising cards, the company you purchase the cards from do most of the work for you. They often call around your local area to secure merchant participation, they print the cards up with your organizations logo or name on the front, and ship them to your door. For the most part, all you have to do is pass the cards out to those who will be doing the selling, saving you a ton of time and effort. Most of the time, church fundraising cards offer discounts and buy one get one free offers, valuable savings for the customer.
Are you ready to make your work easier and achieve incredible results in a shorter time than you would with common fundraising methods? Explode your profits and offer those in your area real value for a change with church fundraising cards! Once you try it yourself, you will understand why this is the most preferred method for raising funds quickly – you just cannot beat genuine value and incredible profits.
