Fundraising Discount Cards - Top 5 Considerations

Reason #1 - Champion does the hard work of building strong fundraising discount cards.

Once Champion receives from you a list of local merchants that you would like to have listed on your discount card, our local representative will visit those businesses and negotiate a strong listing that will be good for them and good for your customers.  We will build your card “vertically” by adding other strong offers from popular local businesses, and “horizontally” by adding other locations for those businesses within a meaningful radius of your organization’s location.  Before your card goes to print, you’ll sign off on both the artwork and the merchant listings.

Reason #2 - Champion will prepare fundraising packets for each of your players.

Even the best-constructed fundraising discount cards can under-perform as a fundraiser if your players aren’t motivated to sell them, so Champion will help you provide and pay for appropriate player incentives—e.g., club- or league-embroidered jackets, windbreakers or sports bags.  Champion will also illustrate those incentives on a custom order-taker that your players can use to take orders for additional discount cards.  Finally, Champion will assemble the minimum number of discount cards you want each player to sell—along with the order-taker—into 9x12 envelopes ready to hand out.

Reason #3 - Champion will build fundraising discount cards that are easy to sell—even in the workplace.

Yours will be a three-dimensional discount card.  Your discount card will not only list varied and popular local businesses and offer significant discounts, but Champion will also build a card for your organization that can be sold easily in the workplace.  If you live in a community where people may have to travel 5 or 10 (or even more) miles to get to their place of work then its important to build a card that will list popular businesses that have multiple locations.  When you think about it, your card should have merchant listings that will be meaningful to those co-workers who may have to travel 5-10 miles from the opposite direction to get to those same workplaces.

Reason #4 - Champion will reduce risk and help ensure your program’s success.

Champion will not only make available to you expert advice on how to get the most of what may be your only major fundraising opportunity, but we will back up our confidence in our discount card program by providing a 60-Day Return for Refund Policy that will allow you to return up to 25% of the discount cards you last purchased for a full refund, less a 50¢ per card handling charge.  Even after 60 days we will still provide a return for a credit toward your next purchase.  Champion is the only discount card company that invests the time and work to build a very strong custom discount card and also helps to ensure you won’t get stuck with cards that you can’t sell.

Reason #5 – Your discount card will not conflict with another known discount card.

If you have a concern that your discount card will be too similar to another discount card that is sold in your community, just make sure the list of merchants you provide to Champion does not contain businesses that are listed on that other card.  It should be obvious that your customers aren’t purchasing a discount card per se; rather, they’re really buying the discounts that are listed on the card.  Anyone who has purchased a discount card from one organization is unlikely to hesitate to purchase a second discount card from another organization that offers another set of discounts—especially if that card is perceived to have value.  Champion will make certain your fundraising discount cards value and that there is no conflict.
