Fundraising Discount Cards

Fundraising Discount Cards - You've seen them before. They are those cards that your local fundraising group sells with those reusable discount offers on the back. These cards are sold by schools, high school athletic teams, little league teams, and pretty much any group in need of a fun, easy fundraising opportunity. The front of the cards are customizable with your own graphics and the backs are filled with excellent coupon offers to local businesses that you can reuse every day for an entire year.

Who Do These Cards Benefit?

Fundraising Discount cardFundraising Discount Cards are considered a win/win/win way to do fundraising.

We say this for 3 reasons:

1. Discount cards benefit fundraising groups by giving them a fun way to sell an in-demand product to raise money for their cause quickly

2. Discount cards benefit the purchaser of the cards by giving them the opportunity to support their local groups, and giving them a daily-use discount card to save big money at places they already shop.

3. Discount cards benefit your local shops and your local economy by driving more business into locally-owned businesses.

Adding More Value

To give these fundraising discount cards even more value, companies like Educational Marketing, Inc. offer the option to add key cards to the discount cards. These key cards, like the ones shown above, are discounts with great savings that you are likely to use often. Owners of the card can put these on their key chain and use the great discount every single day for an entire year.

Considering most of these cards sell for $20, the owner of the card could easily make their investment back after just one use of the card. Let's take an example an add this up. You could buy one of these fundraising cards for $20 from your local high school team. On that same day, you can get a free burrito at Moe's, save $10 at Dick's on that new NFL jersey that you've been wanting, save 5 bucks on that oil change that is overdue, and swing by Hot Box on the way home for a free large pizza for dinner. You just spent $20 on the card and saved $30. And that was just day 1.

You still have 364 days of saving left to do!

There are a lot of them out there, but only a hand-full that really have an understanding of what fundraising companies need and want out of a fundraiser. Educational Marketing is one of the leading distributors of fundraising discount cards. In business since, 1995, EMI offers free custom graphics, free shipping, and no money down. For over 16 years, this company has seen fundraising groups flourish with the sale of fundraising discount cards. They often come back year after year, just as people in the community come back each year to renew their discount card.

Other companies who haven't been in business as long just don't have the same connections. Many companies will generate fundraising discount cards with 12-16 mediocre discounts. EMI provides 20 high-demand discounts on every card that they make. On top of the 20 discounts, free shipping, no money down, and free custom graphics, Educational Marketing also offers a low-price guarantee.
