Discount cards are one of the best fundraisers that can be used by a wide variety of groups. A discount card is a custom printed plastic card that volunteers sell to residents in the local community, normally for $10. The cards have coupon type offers with unlimited use for a specific time period, usually one year.

High Profit Potential

The discount card program offers so many advantages as a fundraiser. First and foremost, this fundraiser has a very high profit potential compared to other fundraisers. Discount card companies vary but most offer anywhere from 50 to 90% profit. At the highest profit percentage, your group sells a card for $10 and retains $9. Your group and those who purchase cards will know that the majority of the funds will go directly to help the cause.

Strong Appeal to Buyers

Discount cards are easy to sell because they offer such great value to the consumer. The cards offer discounts at resturants and retailers where parents likely shop anyway. If not, it's a great way for them to try out new places and get a discount. Most merchants offer two for one deals, 10% off or something special like a free dessert with purchase of two entrees. It's likely that your buyers will find the offers on the back of the discount card to be worthwhile for saving them money.

When you use custom discount cards the offers all apply to your local area. You can recruit local businesses and not just chain outlets which are offered on stock cards. This definitely increases the value of the cards for your buyers Custom discount cards appeal to businesses too because they give them an economical way to promote their products or services. They will likely attract new customers and future repeat business because of the card.

Easy to Deliver

Not to be forgotten is the fact that discount cards are easy to carry when you are selling them. They easily fit into a pocket or purse - unlike other products that can be heavy, cumbersome or perishable. Since you collect money at the same time that the card is sold, you don't have to return to the customer again to deliver the product. This makes selling them easier and quicker than pre-order programs.
