Make note, in the Spring of 2017, Mark Klingaman Fundraising introduces new sales technology that will revolutionize the fundraising industry! While our industry has focused on increasing participation through prizes & rewards, the bottom line is: participation is decreasing. Additionally, many groups are performing donation drives to achieve their goals. It's time to revitalize & revolutionize fundraising sales methods!

STAY RELEVANT - UNDERSTAND YOUR CUSTOMERS' PURCHASING HABITS: with more & more customers using their phone to purchase items, we need to make it easy to support your Organization from their phone. Reach potential customers via text, and provide the quick-n-easy technology to buy & checkout. The MKFR Texting Tool does just that!

Picture this...

TEXT ~ BUY ~ DELIVER ~ PROFIT

Need a little more, here's a breakdown of the steps:

• Your member opts-in to the MKFR Sales Texting Tool
• A Text is sent with a Link to the Organization's store
• Members may purchase or donate & send out request texts that include the store link
• Customers then purchase or donate - usually immediately
• When the Fundraiser ends, we compile the orders - NO order or money collection is needed for these orders
• Orders are added to fundraiser orders submitted to the Organization (the "traditional" brochure sales), if applicable
• All orders are delivered to the Organization at the same time (MKFR pre-schedules all product fundraiser delivery dates)
• The member delivers the product to the customer, as with any brochure fundraiser - don't worry, we provide a report for easy distribution
• Organization receives the Profit Check!

It seems so simple, and it is! We're boosting your fundraiser by making it easier to show your brochure & collect the money/order.

Our sales tool can be used for...

Fundraising - Exponentially Boost Your Sales!

Yes, you would like your members to take their brochure to each, and every, potential customer they know. However, after the fundraiser kickoff or presentation, life happens! Now, your members have the easiest way to show the brochure - text potential customers! We can even include a "donation item" to further boost your sales. The potential customer reviews the brochure & (securely) makes their purchase. Generally, these purchases are made minutes after the text!

Just like other product fundraisers, your product is delivered to the Organization. The member will receive a report of their Texting Tool Sales, for easy distribution.

Reasons to add the Sales Tool to your Organization's fundraiser:

• stay current & relevant, by understanding your potential customers' desired viewing methods & purchasing habits
• make your members lean-mean selling machines;
• do not worry about money collection or counting (unless the Organization offers orders by order form);
• reporting to make distribution easy & efficient.

Donation Drives!

Your donation drive is lacking in either of the following areas: Participation or Profit

Increase participation via our Texting Sales Tool. Many of our Donation Drives have experienced 80+% participation! Our Tool allows your members to make decisions immediately, and act on them. No more need to write a check & submit it to your Organization. It's all done within minutes of receiving the text.

Increase your Profit! If you are using other donation technologies, you're probably paying 25-40% for the program - OUCH! With our Texting Tool, you start at 80% profit, and can increase after that! Many of our groups are earning 84-86% profit on their donation drives - by simply texting a request. Remember, the only money your Organization needs to process is the extremely large profit check!

Expanding Options for your Custom Discount Card

If your Organization fundraises with a Custom Discount Card, consider this:

• MKFR can customize a Card that lives in the customer's phone
• Not limited to the # of Merchants - many customers use 30+ local merchants! Here's a sample of a recent card.
• Easily add local merchants - a merchant may be added at any time!
• Customers may be "pinged" when they are passing by a participating Merchant!
• All Cards include the 2,000+ Nationwide merchants & offers

Of course, use the Sales Texting Tool to more efficiently & effectively sell your Custom Discount Card

Revolutionize the 29- or 59-minute sales blast! Calling-requesting-delivering-collecting is so last year! Take that same time, have your students bring (not 20 or 30) 50-100 numbers they can text...and count the profits! Can you imagine it - it's mind-blowing!
