Spirit card fundraisers are wallet-sized

If you aren’t familiar with spirit card fundraisers, these are the wallet-sized cards you may have seen that offer discounts and buy-one-get-one-free offers at merchants in your local area, such as fast food restaurants, flower shops, etc. When your school or church group, sports team, or other non-profit organization needs to raise money quickly, there is no better way to do it than with spirit cards. They are highly profitable, easy to sell, and require little planning or preparation.

What makes this item superior to other methods you have used to raise funds for your project? There is no order-taking, no boxes to lug around, no catalog orders to keep up with (and then deliver), and practically no planning. They are also hugely popular with consumers, who want to save every dime they can in economic times like we are experiencing today. Spirit cards offer amazing profits, depending on how many you sell or how many in your group will participate, the profits keep rising!

Planning a fundraiser

Planning a fundraiser takes a huge amount of work, and it is discouraging if the money you raise isn’t substantial compared to the effort you put in. Spirit cards require very little effort; in fact, the merchant you buy the cards from does the majority of the work for you! They will contact your local merchants to secure their participation, print the cards with your organization name or logo on the front, and ship them to you in a matter of days. Merchants are usually very willing to participate. Spirit cards help them attract new business and gain more business from existing customers through the offers on the cards.

Spirit card fundraiser Profits

What kind of profits can you expect if you choose Spirit cards to raise the money you need? It all depends on how many are participating and how many you expect to sell. One highly motivated person can sell 10 to 20 cards; if you have 50 participants in your group, that means 500 to 1000 sales! If  500 cards, then your profit margin is 70%, which translates to $3,500 – $9,000.

With 1000 cards, your profit margin will rise to 100%, which means you will make $10,000! It is easy to see why these cards are the top ways to raise funds. Even a very small group can sell 250 cards, and you have made $1,250 – $3,900.  How many other fundraising methods have you tried that produced results like that?

Supporting your community while raising funds

The great thing about spirit card fundraisers is that you support your community in so many ways. First of all, the customer recognizes real value; after all, how many times do you spend money on something that is going to save money over time? Additionally, the customer knows they are supporting the needs of your organization. They are also supporting their local merchants, which is good for the economy. No matter how you look at it, it’s just a good deal from every angle.

How many times are you going to hold a bake sale, car wash, or sell candy bars or cookie dough? While these are great for raising the money you need, how much effort is involved? Spirit cards are a great addition to the activities you already participate in to raise funds, or they work great all on their own. Next time you need to raise money for new band uniforms or a youth group mission trip, you will see how well they work.
