Discount Card Fundraiser

Groups profit when their participants sell discount cards to friends and family.

Since discount cards are ordered upfront, you have the following payment options:

• Purchase order: If you're a public school, you can order without paying up front. A purchase order is a legally binding document between your group and us. Payment is due within 15 days of receipt of the product, which gives you time to collect enough money to pay your bill. You then keep the rest as profit.
• Credit card: Use our secure checkout process to pay for your product up front. We accept VISA^®, Mastercard^®, American Express^®, and Discover^®.
• Check: Mail in your payment. Your product will ship once your check clears. We accept personal checks, money orders, or cashier's checks. Contact us

Yes, we offer volume discounts. For more information, see our 'Card Pricing' table at the top of the page.

The design options for the front of your card are endless. For example, we can put a picture of your group, team, schedule, school logo, or a particular cause.

You can upload your image when you complete your design form. Your card should include your group name, logo, and other relevant information.

Yes, we'll ask you to review and approve your card before it goes to print. This allows you to check your design, grammar, and spelling. We can remove a business if necessary, but new ones cannot be added.

It would be best if you planned for your discount card fundraiser. You'll receive your customized cards within 30 days of receipt of your order. Your cards will ship within seven business days once you've approved the front and back of your card.

We recommend giving your sellers one week to sell their discount card allocation and turn in the money.

TIP: Use a tracking sheet to ensure timely and accurate money turn-in.

The size of your order depends on the number of participants in your group and how many cards you want them to sell. Consider asking each participant to sell 5-10 cards.

You can also use our 'Profit Calculator' at the top of the page.

We don't offer any prize programs with our discount card fundraiser.

Each merchant on your card will honor their discount one time each day.

Cards are not valid with other coupons, discounts, offers, or promotions. You may not use them for alcohol, tax, or tip; they are non-transferable.

Yes, after you receive your cards, they'll expire on the first day of the 13^th month.

For example, if you receive your cards in August, they'll expire on September 1^st of the following year. We'll put the date the card expires on your card.

We do the work of contacting and securing the merchants for your discount card. We contract with local, regional, and national businesses nationwide.

You choose the merchants. So we can build a card that is well-designed and easy for potential buyers to read, we limit each card to 12 merchants.

We ask that you provide at least 36 businesses when you complete your design form. Occasionally, we need to contact additional merchants.

We recommend that you select well-known businesses. 80% of a typical card are eating establishments.

Business benefits include free advertising, valuable publicity, and increased foot traffic. There's no cost to them for being on your card.

This is also an opportunity to give back and support the cause of a local school or organization.

Merchants must sign an agreement stating they'll honor their discount. We'll send the merchant a copy of the finished card so they can forward it to their employees.

Cards typically sell for $10. Some groups may request a higher price, but we don't recommend selling them for over $20. If you want to increase your profit, we'll put whatever price you want on your card.

375" x 2.125" (credit card size)

We produce all cards to the following standards:

• Entire layout, front & back
• Typesetting front & back
• Image placement
• 30 mil plastic (credit card thickness)
• Four color prints on both sides of the card
• All colors are available except royal blue

We'll ask merchants to provide a "buy one get one free" offer, a percentage off, or a dollar discount. But at the end of the day, it's up to the merchant to decide which offer works best for them.

When we contact a particular business about being on a card if they say yes, we always ask, "Do you own or manage any other locations in the area?" If they say yes, we invite them to agree to accept the card at all of those other locations as well. Sometimes a business will say yes, while others want the discount valid at the one location we're calling about.

Because it is impossible to list multiple locations on the card due to limited space, if a business is valid at more than one location, we will create a webpage showing all the valid locations and then list the website address on the card itself.

Yes. The minimum order is 250 cards.

Estimating your profit is easy. Consider the following example.

A sponsor decides to order 600 cards. The group has 75 members, which means that each participant will need to sell eight discount cards:

1. 75 participants x 8 discount cards / participant = 600 cards
2. 600 cards x $10.00 / card = $6,000.00 gross sales
3. $6,000.00 x 50% profit = $3,000.00 profit

The profit percent would be 50% because the card order is between 500-999. See the 'Case Pricing' table at the top of this page. (Volume discounts apply)

Yes, you can order extra cards at the same rate as your initial order. For example, if your initial order was for 500 cards, you received 50% profit. So on any reorders, you'll receive the same profit.

The smallest reorder quantity is 100 cards. Since your card is already in our system, printing usually takes 3-5 business days. This does not include the time needed to ship your order.

We don't take back unsold cards since we build the card exclusively for your organization.
