GIFT CARDS
“The Little Cards with BIG Sales Potential!”

WHAT ARE GIFT CARDS?

Ever gotten a gift card as a birthday gift? Ever given one?

Gift cards are HUGE sellers around the major gift giving holidays like Christmas, Mother’s, and Father’s Day, but there’s also a steady year-round demand thanks to birthdays, anniversaries, showers, etc.

In fact one study shows that 64% of all Americans have either received or given a gift card, and that number is bound to increase. People want to save their friends or families the hassle of returns, and spare themselves the embarrassment or disappointment that comes with buying something as a gift that isn’t quite right. With a gift card, you’re basically saying, “Here I want you to have exactly what you want, and it’s on me!”

Did you know:

You WANT that kind of added sales power for your club!
Note: Gift Card marketing is a terrific addition to your fund raising efforts. PLUS, you can super-charge your program with http://www.giftsusa.org/ Website, AND you can add real “rocket-fuel” by coupling Gift Cards, AND catalog distribution. Imagine all of your supporters giving your gift cards and catalogs to their friends and relatives! In marketing lingo, that’s called “reach,” and gift cards, by the very nature of the way they’re used, can automatically extend the reach of your FUND RAISING.

HOW A TURBO-CHARGED FUND RAISING CAMPAIGN WORKS

Step 1: Purchase the Gift Cards from http://www.giftsusa.org/ at 80% of their face value (Example: a $50 card cost your club $40)

Step  2:   Sell the gift cards at face value, or at a discount, it’s up to you.


Step 3: Put into your clubs treasury the profit!
(Example: A $50 card sold at face value Cost your club $40.00 so your club make $10.00 if sold at face value! )

Step 4: When the Gift Card user redeems the order @ http://www.giftsusa.org/ website, and American Community Service, LLC fills the order.

Step 5: Surprise! When the Gift Card is redeemed for an order, 65% of the time greater than the amount, your sponsored camp will receive a check for 30% of net and your club will receive a check for 20% of the larger sale minus the initial 20% when you purchased the card. Bonus check will be sent quarterly to your club.

FUNDRAISING THAT KEEPS ON GIVING…MORE CUSTOMERS!

Gift CardsLet’s take a look at a couple of scenarios where Gift Cards made a BIG FUNDRAISER!


Scenario #1: You offer the cards to people shopping for family and friends. People love to buy gift cards as presents, for birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, thank you gifts, any special occasion. So let’s say they buy a $50 Gift Card from your club. That card costs your club $40.00 and the profit of $10.00 your club put into their treasury. Then your customer purchased $100 worth the gifts. The next quarter your club would receive a check for $30.00 in name of the sponsored camp through your clubs efforts. The support check is mailed to your club to forward to the camp you choose on your original application.  In summary your club makes 20% initially and every time the person that purchased the gift card goes back to http://www.giftsusa.org/ to purchase another gift your club would receive another check for 30% of the net purchase.  Disability support checks are sent every quarter.

Scenario #2: Let’s say you’re club purchased $10.00 cards and the same number of catalogs. A member of your club takes a few to his or her local barber or beauty shop and asks the proprietor to pass out the catalogs with a $10.00 gift card in support of your club and the sponsored camp your club supports. The business passes out 10 catalogs and gift cards your club has $80.00 invested in 10 customers. Since the 10 new supporters spend an average of $60.00 each.  The next quarter your club would receive a check for (approximately) $80.00 to forward to the camp your club supports. And your club would receive 20% for introducing http://www.giftsusa.org/ to 10 new customers.  The only way to get the 20% is to purchase cards or as an introductory incentive when you are giving away cards.  The 20% incentive bonus is paid only when your club obtains new customers.

Scenario #3: You have done your work and found 10 new supporters by giving out the Christmas Catalog and a FREE $10.00 Gift Card. Your investment is $80.00 and when the new customers redeem their Gift Cards for an average of $50.00 each, your club will receive a check for $100 (approx) or 20% of the net profit which covers your initial investment. But more importantly your club would also receive a check in the name of the disability organization you are supporting for $150.00 Not.. bad and all you did was give away catalogs with a FREE $10.00 Gift Card. But these same supporters come back during the year and spend an additional $1,000 all together your club would receive quarterly checks for the disability organization totaling $300. Sorry we can only discount the original gift cards you purchase and pay 20% of the net as an incentive bonus.  However you may purchase additional gift cards to sell or give away to increase your support of disabilities.
