fund rasiing idea

Here is an idea that was used by one of the other teams in our area. You don't solicit local stores, resturants, car washes, oil change centers for money, you solicit them to offer discounts that you print on a discount card (which is valid for like one year) with your team name, a list of participating places and the discount. Then you sell the cards for like $5, $10 or $15 pure profit, except the cost of printing. Price acording to how many sponsors

This team had discounts like:

Buy 1/2 dozen donuts, get 1/2 free
Buy one get one free pitiza
1/2 price car wash
10 percent discount at hardware
Free icream sundy with purchase of meal at Dairy Queen
$4.00 off ail change
Buy one meal get second free or 1/2 price
1/2 price mower, or snow blower tune up

A lot of merchants will give you the same deal they comonly print in coupon adds and mailers, and both local and national chains participated. Some are unlimited offers and some are one time (where they punch or cross off a box on the card). The great thing is it cost the merchants nothing unless some one comes in to redeam, and then its no less then they commonly give out in other permotions. So you are not soliciting them for money in any way, just having them give you permittion to advertize for them.

If you sell 500 at $10 you make $5,000.
