Tired of the same old fundraising grind? Are you searching for a way to generate substantial income for your school or organization without the constant effort of traditional methods? The answer is a resounding YES, it is possible! Forget the endless cookie dough sales, candle drives, and chocolate bar pushes that leave everyone exhausted and uninspired. Parents are weary of being asked to spend money on unwanted items, and teachers are overwhelmed by the logistics of managing product sales.
Imagine a fundraising solution that requires minimal effort, delivers ongoing revenue, and actually benefits your supporters. It’s time to ditch the fundraising fatigue and embrace a smarter approach. Accidents happen and unfortunately things have a habit of breaking, we need to dig a grave for broken candles, broken cookies and candy and lay them down to rest?
Many involved in fundraising – from PTO and PTA presidents to teachers and parents – are often too busy to explore new options. That’s where this innovative solution comes in. It’s a game-changer that offers significant and continuous income without collections, product handling, returns, or chargebacks. Best of all, it’s so simple that anyone can implement it. This is passive, residual income, month after month.
So, what is it? It’s called GatorPond, a media trading program online. GatorPond allows members to trade DVDs, music CDs, video tapes, and video games with other members for a low monthly fee. Your supporters save money on their media budget, while your organization earns $5 per month for every supporter who becomes a GatorPond member!
GatorPond sends a check to your school or organization each month, after the monthly membership fee is automatically withdrawn from your supporters’ credit cards. Supporters also save on gas by avoiding trips to stores. It’s a win-win situation.
Consider this example: If you have 500 students or employees and each sells just three memberships, that’s 1,500 memberships. At $5 per membership, that equates to $7,500 per month and $90,000 per year for your school or organization! There’s no upfront cost or risk involved.
This solution provides passive, recurring income with minimal staff involvement. It also creates a network of supporters nationally, not just in your neighborhood. People often underestimate how much they spend each year on renting movies, buying games, or CDs. A typical month might include renting four movies ($16-$20), buying a new release movie ($20), purchasing bargain movies ($15-$20), buying one video game ($13-$70), and purchasing one music CD ($8-$25). The total can easily range from $72 to $155 per month, or $864 to $1860 per year!
With GatorPond, members enjoy unlimited trading for only $19.95 per month, or $239.40 per year. Members simply list their used media online and trade it for what they want. All they need is internet access and an email account. After signing up and listing their media, they can select the same amount of media they’ve listed. Once someone requests their media, they receive an email with instructions to place the item in an envelope and send it to the provided address. It’s that simple!
