The Story
Sports clubs, schools and other not for profit organisations, are always looking for ways to raise money for survival. Sponsorships form a major part of this. Small businesses are always looking at ways to generate new clients/customers through their doors and keep them coming back. A typical sponsorship of a school/club involves a cash injection by a local small business owner - in return for some sort of promotion to members of the organisation. This is often in the form of a sign on the fence or a logo on the uniform.
Sports Rewards has created a unique solution to improve the return for both the sponsor (small business owner) and the organisation in need of funding. Our Sports Rewards Card can be branded with any other organisations logo; such that it becomes their very own VIP card. These cards can be sold by clubs/schools to their members for a large profit - much more than any other fundraising program in the market place. For the business that sponsors the card, it means getting their brand in the wallet of the members of the club which is a much better return than a sign on the fence! Plus their cash sponsorship is enhanced four-fold. $500 worth of Sports Rewards cards, purchased by the business = $2000 profit for the club. So a businss can be a $2000 sponsor for just $500!
The founders of the business have been both small business owners themselves, and members of grass roots sports clubs for many years. They recognised the need in the marketplace for a better fundraising tool for the club, and a better return on investment for the sponsor/business owner.
So in essence, Sports Rewards is all about;
1) Helping consumers save money on key expenses.
2) Helping sports clubs, schools and other not for profit organisations fundraise.
3) Helping local small business owners thrive.
