Restaurant Fundraisers

Fundraising is easier than you think with our restaurant fundraisers! Restaurant discount cards offer something everyone can benefit from: $30 off meals at local eateries. It goes like this: your supporters buy the cards at $20 each, and use them to get $50 off at restaurants in their area - in total, there are more than 18,00 restaurants nationwide. The cards are a good choice for your group because people want to both save money and eat out. Give your supporters the best of both worlds with our restaurant discount cards! They’ll be benefiting from a good sixty percent profit - while your group makes a great 50%-65% profit!

Restaurant discount cards are an ideal choice for your supporters, since they’re going to eat out whether they have discount cards or not. But if they do have them, your supporters will be saving $30 for each card they buy - and with this kind of deal, a great many people will buy more than one. (Think of it this way - they’re not that different than the store coupons which are mailed to households across the country every week.)

This fundraiser might sound like every other fundraiser, but it’s different in one important aspect. Usually, supporters spend their hard-earned money when helping your group out. However, this one of the few fundraisers where your supporters are saving money instead of spending it! You can even think them as gaining money since, if not for the cards, they’d still be eating out.

It’s quick and easy to set up restaurant fundraisers, so you can do them at the same time as other fundraisers. Also, unlike some fundraising products, restaurant discount cards can be sold at any time of year.

Here are some tips to help you with these restaurant fundraisers.

• Because they sell so easily, order 5-10 restaurant discount cards for each group member who’s participating in the fundraiser. If your group members have shown themselves to be enthusiastic and motivated, consider getting 12-15 per person.
• If potential supporters are having trouble deciding whether or not they want to buy a discount card, tell them they make great gifts for birthdays.
• Summer is a great time to sell restaurant discount cards, since that’s when potential supporters will be travelling out of state. They’ll likely be eating out (almost) every night during their stay. After all, it’s hard not to eat out when travelling - people are on summer vacation, so they don’t want to cook, and hotel restaurants often charge guests more than they’re willing to afford. Stock up on extra cards to sell during this season!
• Although you can sell restaurant discount cards whenever you like, consider selling more of them at Christmastime, so that your supporters can give them as stocking-stuffers for loved ones. Also consider selling them near Mother’s Day and Father’s Day so that your supporters can give them to their parents.
• While planning out how your group will carry out the fundraiser, account for the fact that shipping takes about a week.

Restaurant fundraisers are one of the few kinds of fundraisers where your supporters save money rather than just spend it. Plus, you can do them at the same time as you’re doing other fundraisers. What are you waiting for? Get started today!
