Lower Price!
We are into the last 9 months of validity (Dec. 31 expiration). BOGO Blue is now priced at $10! Since lowering the price from $20 to $10, three groups' card sales are going like gangbusters. One group member used the card at the Austin Bluffs and Academy Qdoba, and the manager there liked it so much, he asked to buy one himself. A Cold Stone Creamery manager told me that they are now seeing more BOGO Blue Value Cards than competitors'. I've heard a lot of buzz about Bistro de Pinto, with people making the connection between their rave reviews and their ad on the value card. This is all great news. Our thanks go out to the 80 area merchants that make it possible for groups to fundraise in such an easy, fast, and profitable manner.

The Colorado Sky Sox, Colorado Springs Philharmonic, Graner School Music, Colorado Music Studios, Pure Luxury Limousines, Echo Canyon River Expeditions, Keva Juice, Extreme Pizza, and many others have been instrumental in contributing towards these rewards, and ultimately to the community.

$30 Savings on one coupon alone!
A group I met with this evening informed me that after looking at around 20 different fundraising ideas, they chose the BOGO Blue Value Card. Why? They noted that it has four times the number of merchants that most cards have. They liked how it offered customers value, and not an overpriced food item. They were impressed that one of the merchants on the card, Plato’s Closet, a store that most junior high and high school students regularly shop at, offered customers $10 off a $20 purchase, valid for three uses. That one coupon alone saves a family with teens and pre-teens $30! Because of coupons like this, they think their group members will be successful in raising funds faster and easier than in the past. Call us at (800) 559-1427 or at (719) 429-7224, to find out more about our absolutely no-risk, custom-tailored rewards, and outstanding customer service.

A product people actually want to buy!
I was approached yesterday by an elementary school PTO parent who was tired of her children's school fundraiser selling overpriced wrapping paper and cookie dough. She was looking for a product that had great value in the customers' eyes, and eventually settled upon the BOGO Blue Value Card. Her reasons are clear to see: valuable money-saving coupons from eighty area restaurants, entertainment, and goods & services merchants, all on an accordion-style card that easily fits into customers' wallet or billfold. With coupon redemption rates up, and money being squeezed tighter and tighter in this economy, the value card is a fundraising product people are happy to buy, and one groups can be proud to sell. Call us today at (800) 559-1427 or at (719) 429-7224 for more information.

Coupon redemption up for the first time in 15 years
A recent report showed that coupon redemption in the United States has increased for the first time in 15 years. That makes selling the BOGO Blue Value Card that much more effective of a fundraiser for your group! Consumers are only buying what they absolutely need or use, and eating on the run is one of them. With all of the eateries on the card, customers can begin to save money immediately. For more information on how to fundraise with the easiest, fastest, and most profitable product in Colorado Springs, call us at (800) 559-1427 or (719) 429-7224.
