Discount Card Fundraising - Raise Money with Scratchers and Peelers

Scratchers? Peelers? What kind of fundraiser is that? That is what I wondered the first time I heard of them.

Scratch cards and peel cards are types of fundraising cards that offer discounts at local business. There are several advantages to raising funds with peelers and scratchers. The advantages are:

LOWES 10 PERCENT OFF COUPON

They do not take up much space and your organization does not have to store, refrigerate or deliver them.

They offer discounts at businesses that most people already patronize.

They are inexpensive and the profit margin can be from 50 percent to as much as 90 percent.

Most of the cards have an expiration date of one year to three years so you can sell them for an extended period of time.

And, you can usually return the unsold cards to the fundraising company.

Scratch cards, also known as "skratchers" are slightly different than peelers. Each seller in your organization starts with just one scratch card. They ask the purchaser to scratch off a spot on the card and donate the amount that is revealed to the organization. The amount can be anywhere from fifty cents to three dollars. As a thank you, the donor receives a sheet of discount coupons from local businesses. One scratch card, when it is completely sold out is usually worth 0.00 with your organization keeping .00 to .00.

Peelers are usually wallet-size cards featuring mini coupon stickers that the business peels off when they are redeemed. Peeler cards can offer discounts from just one merchant or they can offer discounts from a variety of local merchants. Some popular peelers offer discounts on Midas Muffler services, Jiffy Lubes, McDonalds, and Subway, just to name a few.

Pizza peelers are available from just about every national pizza franchise, so you should be able to sell pizza peelers in your community quite easily. Most pizza peelers sell for $10.00 with your organization keeping .00 or 50 percent of the profit.

You can find companies that distribute peelers and scratchers by doing a search on the internet. So, get busy scratching or peeling with your next fundraiser!
