What is Club Coupon?  Club Coupon is a website that features individual coupon pages that are managed (and promoted) by different sporting clubs and schools, for the purpose of fundraising.

What are the benefits? Club Coupon helps sporting clubs and schools raise money, helps families save money and helps local businesses generate more customers and sales. It helps clubs/schools build long-term relationships with businesses in their local area. It also helps clubs/schools retain their sponsors by giving them greater connectivity with families.

How much money can we make? Your club/school makes money by selling subscriptions to businesses.  Businesses pay your club/school a  subscription fee to promote a coupon on your coupon page. Club Coupon has standard pricing for subscriptions (i.e. what you charge businesses) which is (3 months $195) (6 months $295) (12 months $495) inc gst. Businesses choose the period of time they want to advertise on your coupon page and pay their money to your club/school. Engaging 100 businesses over a 12 month period would generate between $19,500 - $78,000 depending on the ratio of 3, 6,12 month subscriptions that are purchased by businesses.Go to www.clubcoupon.com.au/fundraising for more on this point.

How many businesses can join our page? It’s unlimited. If you follow Club Coupon’s strategies you should engage a number of businesses equivalent to the number of families in your club/school. For example: if you have 200 families in your club/school you should engage 200 businesses. In this case you would double the dollar values in the above point. Go to www.clubcoupon.com.au/fundraising for more on this point.

Why is the business target equal to families?  All families are consumers with a list of businesses they regularly spend money with. Most families are looking for ways to save money on their day-to-day expenses. Club Coupon saves families money. Families benefit by introducing businesses they spend money with regularly, because they get access to the savings/benefit from the business. Club Coupon understands that not all families will introduce a business to your coupon page and therefore has designed systems that generate multiple introductions from participating families to maintain the ‘one business per family’ target.

What are the risks?  Club Coupon is 100% risk free. During the initial 30 days we give you full access to the program and the opportunity to generate up to $24,750. If at anytime during the initial 30 days you feel Club Coupon is not what you expected, we will cheerfully refund your money. There are no minimum term contracts, so you can participate on a quarter-by-quarter basis and opt-out at anytime.

How do businesses join our page?  Club Coupon provides forms, which you distribute to families in your club/school. The forms encourage families to get together with friends to invite businesses they have a relationship with. This could be a family or friends business, or any business they spend money with regularly and want savings from. Families return the forms to your club/school, with details filled in by the business (and the business’s payment). Your club/school can then issue businesses with a PIN number so they can add a coupon to your coupon page, or you can activate their coupon for them. Once a business’s coupon is activated, the business can login to your coupon page anytime 24/7 - 365 days to edit and manage their own coupon.

Why don’t businesses just advertise a coupon on our club/school website? When you setup a coupon page on the club coupon website you can link it to your club/school website, so it appears to be part of your website. The advantage of using the club coupon platform is that its interactive capabilities and real-time statistics cater for the advertising demands of today’s businesses. Giving businesses the ability to reach families in real-time; update their coupon offers anytime; monitor real-time statistics and accurately measure new customers and sales, turns your club/school into one of the most cost-effective advertising options available to local businesses. Club Coupon is not just an interactive online solution, it also includes software and tools, printed materials and dedicated support to help your club/school reach its financial target. Your club/school gains access to real-time data such as how each business is feeling; the number of times their coupon is updated; and how often their coupon is printed. These valuable statistics create transparency and the unique ability to grow and develop relationships with local businesses. Club Coupon also supports and helps promote each business that joins your coupon page to ensure their long-term involvement. You are also joining a business network where businesses on other coupon pages can simply click and pay to add their coupon to your page. This gives your club/school even more opportunity to generate money and build its business network. Club Coupon helps your club/school connect with more businesses, while ensuring their financial commitment is long-term. Go to www.clubcoupon.com.au/fundraising  for more on this point.

Will it cost us any money?  Your club/school pays $495 (inc gst) per quarter to participate in the program. This is referred to as the (”Quarterly Licence Fee”). This fee gives your club/school access to online software, training, support and tools to achieve its financial target. It also covers an online support service that is extended to all businesses that join your coupon page, to ensure their long-term participation. Just selling one 12 month subscription to a business covers your quarterly license fee.

How much time is involved?  Approximately the same time it takes to run a few raffles throughout the year.
