Fundraising with Emerald Computers
You may be thinking to yourself that fundraising is an odd subject to be on a computer companies website. The reason that it is here is because we care about our community, and we want community originations to have an easy fundraiser. Basically this is very simply, the origination markets our products and services and we "Donate" 15% of the gross sales amount to the charity. Most originations have a huge list of supporters, and other people who like the group. We allow them to tap into that group and raise the maximum amount they can.
We usually have the charity give some of this donation to their clients as a coupon code. This code works on our shopping cart we then track this usage and we give the orginization their part. What makes this very easy as a fundraiser is that it is pure marketing, you simply have people go to our site and make a purchase and then you receive the benifit. There is no products to move, no money to touch.
Why Computers? Well it is much easier to sell 10 computers and earn $1000 than it is to sell 3000 candy bars to earn the same amount. These are items that are fairly easy to sell to a business, if you have many businesses in your supporter list you can quickly earn huge donations. Computers have become more of a commodity, they are easy to sell. At any given time 40% of all households are thinking of upgrading or buying a new computer, they are just looking for a compelling reason to do it now. Our prices are about the same as other sources for computers, and the customer gets the added benefit of our high quality and the satisfaction of supporting your group.
Emerald Computers provides marketing support, we also will send a representative to any “Kick off” type event that you will have to explain the system to your group. You will also be given your own website just for this fundraiser. Customers can order online, or directly by writing a check. We make it very easy for your organization to raise funds quickly with this system. We also offer a rewards program where prizes will be given out to group members that have orders for computers.
What can you expect to make. Lets assume that you are a small private school, you have 200 students. Lets also assume that you also have 1000 or so alumni and other supporters on your supporter list. Of those 200 students lets assume that half do nothing, 80 have one order and 10 get two orders, and 8 get 4 orders, and two superstars contact businesses and each get orders for 20 computers. That is 152 computers. Your list of 1000 alumni and supporters gets you another 50 orders. That is a total of 200+ orders. At an average of $700 each for the gross sales price, you would have a donation for your group from us in the amount of $21,000. If you use it for getting technology from Emerald Computers you receive a 30% bonus, making it over $27,000 in store credit. That is enough to build a nice computer lab, get new computers in every classroom, have a better website and have a wired / wi-fi network for the entire campus.
Unlike many fundraisers there is absolutely no investment or risk from your organization. Your only cost is time and flyers. So why wait?
