Fundraising, Non-Profits and Good Business – Giving Back!

Introducing Our Non-Profit Program and Products
In celebration of our NEW Non-Profit sites I thought I would re-publish a (edited) article I wrote and published recently.
Is your business or organization looking for ways to increase profits or raise money? Consider incentives such as a certificate for free food, fuel, retail, pharmacy or dining and our EXCLUSIVE TravelBook. With the struggling economy, consumers are becoming more cautious with spending. Intrinsically, most people want to help organizations they care about, but in order to maximize profits, you must offer them value in addition to knowing they have made a difference.
When deciding to use an incentive or reward program such as a food, fuel certificates or travel program, not only are you maximizing your profits, you are actually offering your customers a good deal. So, wondering how this works? How do you actually make money by giving away products?
Simply order the certificates for your business, or get a fundraising catalog for your organization, and determine what you want to offer your customers. Whether it’s fuel certificates, free food, merchandise/retail or pharmacy or dining benefits (or a combination of these) plus the travel option, you are appealing to 100% of the potential buyers in your area. Everyone must eat or have a use for any of our products, so the opportunity for a $25 Visa card monthly will be a welcome change from the candy tins.
If your business is already established, you can set the requirements in order for customers to receive the certificates. For example, get $300 in free food with the purchase of (whatever your product or service is). This will ensure that for your investment, you get guaranteed business. The appeal of your offer will draw in customers that may never have considered your company before.
These certificates have a proven track record of working. Skeptical users are now loyal customers as they have produced amazing results for business. With the struggling economy, how much is a sale worth? Wouldn’t you like to promote customer loyalty and provide a good benefit to your customers at the same time?
In order for your customers to redeem any of these certificates, it’s simple. All they need to do is register the certificate number online and then send in the receipts for purchases they are already making throughout the month. There is a $9.95 registration fee that you (as the business) decide when and if they receive back. (we have (4) model options to choose from) Customers don’t have to change spending habits, miss out on sales, or shop at special stores – simply redeem receipts to our certificates for a $25.00 monthly rebate in the form of a Visa card.
Since food and fuel aren’t the only things people must have, recently there has been the addition of merchandise, pharmacy and dining certificates as well. These can be used in conjunction with prescription and regular purchases. This will be a real draw for those who take regular medications.
With such an amazing return, you customers are sure to share the good news with friends and family. Imagine the long term growth this can have for your business!
Offer your customers up to $500 in free food, fuel, dining, retail or pharmacy and keep the economy moving while your business booms.

How can giving away fuel and free groceries help your business grow?

How can giving away fuel and free groceries help your business grow? With our struggling economy right now, consumers want value. By providing gas or grocery certificates as incentives for your new or existing customers, you will generate a valuable hold in the marketplace by offering a necessary service that gives good rewards.

Now that you are wondering how something so good can be true, you might want to know how it works, right? Our company works in conjunction with the Direct Strategies, Inc. This company has learned how to create brand loyalty through using these certificates. You, the business, must first purchase these certificates, then it’s up to you to give them away.

Rebate Certificates reward consumers for being loyal customers of their favorite grocery store, gas station, retail/department store, pharmacy, spa, movie theatre, restaurant or sporting event. That’s eight different categories which, in exchange for submitting their monthly receipts, customers get $100, $300, or $500 in Visa cards as a “thank you” for being a loyal customer!

Certificates are available in denominations in amounts from one hundred to a thousand (Combo Certificates).The minimum order is 25 certificates. This way you can give a small incentive for a test drive, for example, and increase the reward for a purchase.

You will get the customer in the door, then seal the deal with a certificate. Imagine how much more inclined someone shopping for a car would feel towards purchasing if they knew they were getting $500 in gas if they bought! And example would be one hundred dollar certificate to get your customer in the door and five hundred for a purchase.

Your customers will not have to jump through hoops for these rewards. It’s simple; they register their certificate online or by snail mail with a $4.50 fee (to cover postage) and select the business where they will be buying. Each month, they simply send in receipts for purchases they would have made anyway. Once they have purchased one hundred dollars in groceries or gas, they will get a $25 card for each month.

In order to keep your name in front of your customers, you can have your company logo put on the voucher. This means over the months it takes to redeem receipts for the gift cards, your customer will be seeing your name as a reminder of who gave them free gas.

Companies who have tested this program have seen fantastic results. Now, in addition to businesses, non-profit groups are able to gain access to free gas and grocery certificates and incentives. With so much success as a draw for established businesses, imagine the success of a fundraiser that will provide a needed item in exchange for a donation. People generally want to help students or other non-profits, but who really wants a $10 tin of cookies or wrapping paper.

Get started with your program today. Don’t you want to be at the forefront, before your competition figures out what works? Get to the customers first with free fuel and grocery certificates.

Only the Best,

How to Leverage Your Advertising with Incentives

For quite some time now, businesses have been catching onto the secret to grow business without a lot of extra advertising money. Through the use of free gas and grocery certificate incentive programs, not only have they seen sales increase, but customer loyalty has been at an all time high through the use of these incentives. By providing a reward that the customer needs these certificates make it possible for them to have products or services previously not possible.

This option is not available just for the businesses now, however. Non-profit groups that need to earn fund-raising dollars can get access to these free certificates also. Now paired with the easily recognizable name of Kidz-IDZ, free grocery and gas certificates are waiting to help your organization earn money.

How you do this is simple. Just offer free groceries or gas in return for a donation to your organization from $20-$30. The purchaser will receive a certificate that needs to be activated, and every month can exchange $100 in grocery receipts for a $25 Visa card. It’s really that simple.

The plan for fundraising has been set up through an established company that knows how to make your marketing plan easy. With an easy to read catalog, customers will be able to select a dollar amount for the donation and see the reward given back to them – either groceries or gas.

Recently we have added a new feature to our free gas rewards. There is now a new type of certificated for your customers. The pharmacy certificate is available to use towards prescription and non-prescription medications. In addition, customers also get a prescription discount card that can save customers up to 60% off prescriptions. Combine that with s $25 reward card, and you are providing customers with a huge benefit in today?s savings with rising medical cost.

If customers have children (or grandchildren), as an additional bonus, they will get a free Kidz-Idz with each certificate purchased. This will provide a safety net in the event there is ever a need to have children?s photos and fingerprints on hand, as well as any other identifying information that may be hard to think of in an emergency situation.

What other program offers you so much for so little? Higher sales or dramatic fundraising results, great value for your customers and loyalty to the program? Get started today with your certificates. Help your customers save money on the things they use everyday while you help stimulate the economy by growing your business.

Only the Best,

Incentives that Work and Fundraising

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.
