New Premium Incentives Service Boosts Fundraising For Local Events

Sales Incentives is boosting the fundraising efforts of local event organizers with a new service reciprocating donations by local businesses with premium incentives. With this new service a local business making a donation to a local event receives equal monetary value in gift certificates in return. The incentives can then be used by local businesses as promotions (i.e., to set appointments, open accounts, encourage test drives, etc.). There are 5 premium incentive plans available.

(PRWEB) March 30, 2006 -- This innovative approach is applicable to any type of local fundraising program and event: local charity campaigns, events and festivals, school fundraisers, parades, AIDS Walks, Pride celebrations, etc. The service makes community businesses more interested in supporting local events and charitable causes as they are receiving equal value in exchange for their donation.

If, for example, a local event coordinator contacts a car dealership in their community and receives a commitment for a $3,000 donation to the local July 4th parade the dealership is eligible for 500 NASCAR Racing Car gift certificates in exchange. The following premium incentive options are available for 500 gift certificates at $5.95ea:

·    $250 Racing Store Shopping Spree - NASCAR

·    $500 Jewelry Store Certificate

·    $250 in Computer Program & Games

·    3/2 Vacation – Choose From 100+ Locations

·    $1,000 Select Your Gifts Shopping Spree

All gift certificates are available in paper form to be distributed via US mail or as point-of-purchase incentives. They can also be redeemed Online via computer.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

Sales Incentives assists local event coordinators in formulating proposals to local businesses. The local event remits half of the donation it receives to cover the cost of the premium incentives selected and it retains the other half. Event coordinators agree that it is much more lucrative to offer reciprocal gift certificates -- and give up a portion of the donation -- than just asking businesses for money.

The 500-certificate $3,000 option is the starter package, but larger quantities are available. For example, local businesses can order 1,000 or 2,000 certificates for $6,000 or $12,000, respectively. Or they can order an a la carte premium incentive program with gift certificates ranging from restaurant discounts to grocery coupons.

RESELLER OPPORTUNITIES

Sales Incentives is looking for resellers, especially in rural areas where successful community events are important to the local economy. For details, see http://www.salesincentivespromo.com/page/page/3181440.htm
