Overview
Once you have registered your organisation,
group or charity you simply need to make your supporters and members
aware of your Simple Fundraising webpage. We help you to do this by
providing you with a marketing pack that includes sample letters that
you can use as a template.
Your supporters then either register themselves
with your webpage and then set it to be their "home page".
This is preferable as it means that everytime they connect to
the internet, the first webpage they see is your fundraising page.
Or, alternatively, your supporters can
simply use your webpage without registering, if they so prefer. By
using your webpage as their launch pad to online shopping, you will
raise money.
As well as providing your supporters with
the power of the Google search engine, your webpage has a shopping
directory of virtually every UK retailer that has an online presence
- major household names, such as Tesco, Esure, HMV, Boots, Carphone
Warehouse, Thomas Cook as well as a plethora of independant retailers.
When your supporters use the shopping directory to visit
the retailers any purchases that they make will result in you earning
a commission.
The commissions are paid by the retailer
from their profit - there is no additional cost to your supporters
or members. In fact, shopping online is usually cheaper so your supporters
could well be saving themselves money as well.
To protect individuals privacy, only the
retailer knows who the customer is and the details of each individual
purchase. This sensitive information is never passed on - you are simply
informed of how much commission you have earned.
At the end of each month, commissions from
each retailer are combined and we send that amount of money direct
to your organisation.
Benefits To Your Organisation
- It's hassle-free. We provide all the tools and infrastructure
you need so you can concentrate on what you do best, while leaving
Simple Fundraising Ltd to run and maintain your fundraising website.
- There are no costs. Setting up your own fundraising
website with us is totally free - there are no upfront costs or any
ongoing fees. The amount you earn is the amount you get paid.
- It's instant . There is no need for
you to wait any longer - once you have registered (which takes less
than 5 minutes), your free fundraising website is instantly available
and you can start earning commissions straight away.
- You are kept informed. We provide
you with a suite of management reports that allow you to see exactly
how much you are earning, as well as providing you with an anonymised
peer-group comparison.
- Unlimited earning potential . There
really is no limit to how much you can raise - the more your supporters
and members use your fundraising page, the more money you will raise.
Furthermore, you can earn a second level of income by recommending
Simple Fundraising to other organisations. Not only will you receive
your commission, you will also receive a bonus equivalent to 10%
of the total commission earned by every organisation that you have
recommended!
- Communicate with your supporters. At
Simple Fundraising we know how important it is to keep in touch with
your supporters and members. That is why we provide you with the
ability to send newsletters and notices whenever you want - not only
is this free, you avoid having to print anything on paper saving
you time, money and reducing your carbon footprint.
- Emergency SMS messaging . As well
as providing the facility to send newsletters, we also provide
you with the ability to issue emergency SMS broadcasts to your member
base. For example, if your school is closed due to bad weather, or
there is a last minute change of schedule for your club's event you
can issue an emergency SMS broadcast to your members to let them
know. The SMS messages are sent instantly ensuring that your members
get the information as soon as possible.
Benefits To Your Supporters
and Members
- Fantastic savings. Online retailers
are generally much cheaper than their High Street counterparts.
Even retailers that have traditional stores have fantastic offers
for online shopping, meaning that your members and supporters will
actually be saving money.
- The power of Google . Google is the
world's largest, and arguably most effective, internet search engine
and we have integrated it into our system. By changing their home
page to your fundraising web page, not only do your supporters and
members have an easy way of raising money, they also get to use the
Google search engine at the same time.
- A personalised space . Most internet
users tend to visit the same websites over and over again - be it
their bank, weather reports, e-Bay or tv guides etc.
Your fundraising page provides your supporters and members with a
panel where they can quickly add their favourite websites making
their internet usage even more convenient.
- Get the latest news . By issuing
newsletters and notices, your supporters and members will get to
read the latest news in a timely manner. Furthermore, those supporters
who opt-in to receive emergency messages will be the first to know
and can make suitable arrangements.
- Communicate with you. Just as we
provide you with the ability to communicate with your supporters
and members, they too have the ability to contact you directly via
your website. This ease-of-communication helps to create a stronger
affiliation as well as providing an effective contact methodology.
