**A TRUE PERSPECTIVE*****
>>I agree, Sam, but remember 2 key things about the MusicCard program:
(1) Especially in Fund-Raisers where kids are doing the selling for a "Good Cause", parents, uncles, aunts, church members, etc, rarely say "No". And how about local corporate sponsors or businesses who may buy blocks of 10 or 100?
They are a soft touch and their primary reason for buying is often NOT because the card is a good deal. It is the cause.
..... "What are you raising money for Mary?"
..... "Band uniforms"...."Kids with Cancer"....etc....Will you buy a MyMusicCard from me, Mrs. Johnson?
..... "Why sure, Mary, it sounds like a good cause"<<
---------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS THE REST OF THE CONVERSATION FROM EXPERIANCE
Usually the next response will be
Mrs. Johnson "how much of that goes to your group mary?"...
Mary says " $4.50"...
Mrs. Johnson.." What is this Card and how does it work?"....
Mary " Im not real sure, but you can buy 20 cd's for less than 10.00 on the internet or by phone"...
Mrs. Johnson.." Well Mary, i dont buy many cd's and i dont have a computer, so how about I just give you 10.00 dollars and you can keep the whole amount for your group"
Mary.."thank you Mrs. Johnson!"
This happens about half the time....what you can probably figure on is each child selling 2-3 cards...you will still have a few that will sell 20-50 cards but on the average its about 2-3..still not bad but this would be a pretty solid projection.
