I think you all know the way fundraisers work. Kids come in all attitudes, some will not sell a single card, others (the ones who grow up to be CEO's) will sell alot. A figure that is usually used is 2.5 of a product being sold by each participant. This takes into account 70% of kids selling only one of the item to their parents 10% busting their butts to sell as many as possible and 20% just waiting for the day that they can start digging ditches. The unknown is..how many people will exercise their option to buy CD's and how many will buy multiple CD's. This is a question that can not be answered by any current rules or stats. What TSIG has going for them is the age of the kids selling to their parents. Most of the parents are young..they are of the computer age and regularly surf the internet. That is the key... having internet savy people buy this card increases the chances that it will be used. The not unknown is this.. when someone buys something they want value for what they have purchased, for charity or not, they want their moneys worth. This fact alone increases the chance that someone will type into their computer Compactconnection.com and buy a CD at their deserved discounted rate. If the experience is a good one they will come back and buy more if not forget it. The usual split for fundraising is 50/50 most groups will not consider any thing less. I am sure that the $50M was derived from the fact that most people buying the CD card will be internet people and be buying 5-10 CD's per year. freak!!
