cards with your school/group name and a discount
from a local sponsor!
Before
you get started you should remember
that signing up a sponsor for your

sponsor yourself here are a few
tips.
» How should I/we approach
businesses?
Really,
it's completely up to you, but you
might consider doing it in the
following manner:
1) Ask for the manager/owner and
introduce yourself, letting them
know who you are, who you are
with(what group), and that you are
there because you would like for
them to be a sponsor on your group's
discount card.
2) Be sure to explain to them that
there is absolutely no costs
involved in participating, and that
it is free advertising for their
store.
3) You'd be surprised by how much of
an effect a smile will have!
» How long does it take to
sign-up a sponsor?
Most groups can sign-up a sponsor
discount in as
quick as one afternoon. You do want
to be tactful in your appearances
however, for example: don't show up
at a restaurant during the lunch
rush, and expect the manager/owner
to have time to discuss advertising
with you. Visit businesses during
slow hours, or even call ahead, and
make an appointment.
» How many sponsors can we have
on our card?
You may
list only 1 sponsor on your card.
» Why should a sponsor/business
participate in this program?

benefits to a business of becoming a
sponsor are many! Try these 3 for
starters:

repeat business
3)It displays great community
awareness and service.
