The Big Discount Card

Our ‘Big Discount Card’ program offers consumers a choice of up to 12-15 local merchants on the back of your custom-designed card. Your customers can use any or all vendors on the back of your card every single day for a full year!

You can pick between 2 options for building your card:

Option 1: We will do the work of contacting your merchants that you want on your card! If we do the work of contacting your vendors this process will usually take from 45 to 60 days.

Option 2: You do the work of contacting your merchants and then submit to us one Discount Card Business Agreement Form for each merchant that agrees to be on your card.

Which option should you choose?

Option 1 is good if you have more time available and you don’t have to kick-off your fundraiser right away. There is a 250 card minimum order.

Option 2 works well if you are able to line up your vendors in time to meet a quicker fundraising kick-off deadline. You will also make a higher profit with option 2 because you are able to do the work of contacting your own merchants. There is also no minimum order requirement.

Option 1 – Designing your card:

We will custom design the front of your discount card with your organization's logo. Go to The Discount Card Book in the resources section at the bottom of this page to view logo designs that you can choose from
Choose your discount card colors from our selection of card and ink colors (a list of available colors can be found on the Discount Card Design Form in the resources section at the bottom of this page.)
Complete the business wish list found on pages 2 and 3 of your Discount Card Design Form
It is our goal to obtain the maximum of 15 vendors for your card. However, we do not guarantee that we will achieve the minimum of 12 vendors in every case.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the fact that we must reach an agreement and have each vendor sign a contract for your card, you are not allowed to make recommendations for changes or modifications to any offers once a vendor has signed the contract. Also, in an attempt to complete your card, if we are unable to contract with enough vendors from your wish list we will, at our discretion, contact vendors in your area that may not be on your wish list.

Option 2 – Designing your card:

We will custom design the front of your discount card with your organization's logo. Go to The Discount Card Book in the resources section at the bottom of this page to view logo designs that you can choose from
Choose your discount card colors from our selection of card and ink colors (a list of available colors can be found on the Discount Card Design Form in the resources section at the bottom of this page.)
Ask local vendors to support your organization by offering discounts
Have the vendors that agree to be on your card fill out and sign our Discount Card Business Agreement Form in the resources section at the bottom of this page (Make sure to complete the bottom section of the form where it says ‘For Organization Use Only’ before providing to merchant)
Have the merchant scan and email the completed Discount Card Business Agreement Form to sales@BigEventFundraising.com. Or, if you are able to collect each form in person you can scan and email them yourself (Your goal should be to obtain a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 15 signed Discount Card Business Agreement Forms). We will send you an email confirmation once we receive your order
If a local business would like their company logo next to their offer, an attachment of the logo design will need to be included in the email (We already have most popular national brand company logos and will insert them whenever possible)
Use page 1 from the Discount Card Design Form to design the front of your card and submit along with the signed Discount Card Business Agreement Forms

You can choose between 2 selling methods:

You can order your cards up front and receive a bulk shipment, then sell the cards and collect the money. Pay your bill once you have collected enough money then keep the rest as profit.
You can take orders up front first by using an order form and collect the money while using your own customized 2-sided discount card sales brochure where a sample version can be found at the bottom of this page (Order Form is on one side and a picture of the front of your card along with an enlargement of the vendor choices is on the other side). Then you can place your order based on the cards that you have already sold. Your organization can select a sales incentive plan using this method.
