When looking for fund raising opportunities, it is easy to get bombarded with options that offer little to no benefit to the agency that needs the funding. For a strong alternative, keep incentives in mind for your customer. What are you selling that they actually need? With our struggling economy, it is getting more difficult to convince customers to purchase trinkets. By using a fundraising program that offers real value, such as gas certificates or free grocery certificates, you are offering a value that will make your fundraising profits soar.
When deciding to use certificates for your fundraising program, you will be issued a catalog. This is a risk free program for you. Simply present the catalog for friends, neighbors and co-workers to look through. They will have the opportunity to purchase either free gas certificates, free grocery certificates, or gas and groceries.
The denominations in free product increase with the amount of the donation. For example, a donation as low as $20 will get $200 in free gas. A $30 donation gets three times that amount - $600 in gas and groceries.
How does this work? The customers who make the donations redeem certificates for $25 Visa gift cards. The customer simply keeps receipts from regular grocery or gas purchases over a month, and once it totals $100, redeems the receipts via an account to receive the gas or grocery certificates. It?s win-win for everyone.
This type of incentive program has long been in place as a hook for new business. Giving away a product that every person must have anyway appeals to 100% of the customer base. Every person has to eat, and nearly every person has to drive, so by offering gas or grocery certificates you are giving back for something they do anyway.
This program is now paired with the KIDZ-IDZ. This program is designed to help customers save money while not changing spending habits. It eliminates the need for clipping coupons, but still rewards them. What?s even better, they can still cut coupons and bargain shop and STILL receive the rewards.
Why would you want to try to sell something that is going to leave customers feeling they overpaid for a piece of junk? With the KIDZ-IDZ incentive program, your customers will look forward to the new gas and grocery certificates year after year. The draw of this program will make this a fundraising event that actually grows every year instead of becoming the dreaded annual fundraiser.
Gas and grocery certificate programs are the new way to raise funds for your organization, by providing value for your customer and keeping money in your organization?s pocket.
