How soon can we schedule our fundraiser?
We require a 6 - 8 week turn-around time from the time your order is placed to delivery of your "sample" cards and order forms.  Sometimes we can cut this time if circumstances require this.  However, remember your School Spirit Fundraising Discount Cards are uniquely designed for exclusive use by your school.  This requires a special production run just for you.  (We do not mass produce cards that all schools can use.)
Usually the more advance notice we have, the better the offers that will be appearing on your card as we can be very selective when it comes to offering space to your area's participating businesses.

Do we have to get the sponsoring area businesses?
No.  We do this for you as we select from various business types in your area. After this is done, we will notify you with the details of the participating businesses and their offers. (If you would like to select the businesses you would like us to contact - and negotiate with - on your behalf, we have an "Area Business Selection Form" that we can email to you.)

How many sponsoring businesses will be on our card?
It varies between 9 - 18 depending upon your area and the number of cards ordered.
 

How and when do we pay for the cards we sell?
One week after the mutually agreed upon end date of your fundraiser payment is due for the ordered cards.

What is our upfront cost?
Nothing.  We do the work of producing your exclusive School Spirit  Fundraising Discount Card as well as bear all production costs for the cards and promotional materials.

Suppose we cancel the fundraiser, are we charged?
It would depend on what stage we are in.  If you cancel prior to our contacting area businesses there would not be any charge.  If, however, we have already begun (or completed) the process, you will be billed for the work performed.

Can we put our logo on our card?
Absolutely. The front of the card contains all of the information unique to your school: your logo, website (if any)...
It is a great means of keeping your school’s name in front of everyone who purchases your School Spirit Fundraising Discount Card each time it is used.

Can we select the 2 colors on the card?
All School Spirit Fundraising Discount Cards are processed with using two colors: RED and NAVY.
On orders exceeding 1,000 cards, you may select two standard ink colors.

Why should we use School Spirit Fundraising Discount Cards as our fundraiser?
A few reasons:

1. Product Acceptability.  EVERYONE loves saving money. Anyone purchasing your School Spirit Fundraising Discount Card will use it REPEATEDLY for AN ENTIRE YEAR....savings hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

2. Ease of Selling.  Our School Spirit Fundraising Discount Cards practically sell themselves. Each card contains special offers from your area businesses. Quite a value for anyone who purchases your card.  (Matter of fact they will eagerly await next year's School Spirit Fundraising Discount Card making it an easier sell!!!)

3. Highly Profitable.  You will earn $5 for each $10 School Spirit Fundraising Discount Card sold…and with increased card sales (and Bonus Cards) this amount can yield a 100% profit.

Is their a minimum number of students suitable for your fundraiser?
The student population should be 250 and above.  For student populations less than this amount we suggest our pizza card fundraiser.

Does it matter if our school is located in a city or rural community?
Yes.  Unfortunately we are unable to offer our School Spirit Card fundraiser to any school which is not located within a 5 mile radius of a city or town having a population of 50,000 or more.  We have found this to be necessary in order to secure local, sponsoring businesses for your School Spirit Card fundraising program.
