The 15 days start from the time you receive your discount cards.
How many offers can fit on the card?
The card comes preloaded with over 100 offers. If you have additional discounts from businesses that would like to provide an offer, have them contact us.
Who secures the businesses for the card?
We have already secured the discounts on the card. But, you're welcome to secure additional businesses to make your fundraiser even better.
Do you have select businesses already on board?
Yes. You can visit www.LAPerks.com to see the full list.
What kind of businesses can participate?
A wide range of businesses participate in the savings card fundraiser. Some examples are nationally known attractions like Universal Studios Hollywood or Knott's Berry Farm as well as Restaurants and Spas.
Can more than one location, such as McDonald's, offer a discount on the card?
Yes. As long as you get approval from both locations we can add their offers on the card. If both locations honor the same offer, we will list both addresses on our website.
Are the offers good for a one time use or repeated uses?
The cards are good for repeated uses for an entire year.
What kind of offers are on the card?
There are a variety of deals that can be offered depending on the merchant. They range from percentage off, dollar off, and "buy one get one free". Please visit www.LAPerks.com to get an idea of what kind of offers come with the card.
How long does it take to secure the offers? The time it takes to secure local merchants all depends on your organization's efforts. It generally takes 1 to 2 weeks to secure local merchants. It is very important to spend time securing the best merchants and offers. A discount card with great offers from popular merchants will make the card a lot easier to sell and more profitable.
How easy is it to secure businesses? It's easier than you think! Businesses like to participate because it's free advertising and it helps them increase sales. It also gives them a chance to support the community. We provide a script on what to say to businesses, and provide a list of offers merchants can easily choose from.
Will extra cards be provided for the merchants? Yes. We will provide 2 extra cards for each merchant. FREE OF CHARGE. We also mail out thank you letters & sample cards as soon as your cards are printed.
Do we need to fax the signed merchant agreements to the LA Perks Pass? Yes. You may also email them to us. After you place your order, please fax or email us your merchant agreement forms along with a copy of your organization agreement. The fax number is 310-693-8019. Please see our Contact Us page for addtional contact info.
Does the LA Perks Pass need any info from our organization before we get started on this fundraiser? No, you can get started right away. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
How do I place my order? You can place your order online by clicking this link or you can simply call our office (1-323-638-7277) to get started today.
Can I receive a proof of my specialty cards before they are printed? Absolutely! We will email or fax you the front and back proof of the card for your approval before we print the cards.
How long does it take to receive the cards? Once Your Businesses have been signed up and we have received your organization agreement along with your sponsor agreements (if you are doing this yourself) your cards are usually out the door in about 3 days. Most of our customers have cards in hand in about 7-10 days. Specialty cards however, generally take about 2-3 weeks.
What service do you use to mail out the cards? Our typical shipping company is UPS. For orders less than 500 we ship our cards via the United States Postal Service priority mail (takes 2-3 days). For orders 500 cards or more, we ship via UPS and Fedex. You can also have the cards shipped by express mail which costs extra.
Can we have our organization's logo on the front of our cards? Yes. If you can furnish a standard, high resolution image (ie. jpg, bmp, gif format) we can customize your card. Please email your logo to customerservice@laperks.com. Custom cards with your logo must be prepaid only.
How do we get the merchants' logos on the back of the card? Unlike other discount card fundraisers, we do not place merchants' logos on the back of the card. There are simply too many and we've already done all the work to preload the card with over 100 offers.
Can the unsold cards be returned? Please read our No Hassle Return Policy. Specialty cards can't be returned. But, standard LA Perks Pass cards that are NOT customized and not damaged CAN be returned for a full refund. We want your fundraising efforts to be successful and that means for our regular card orders, you can get your monmey back on all unsold cards. For specialty cards, we have Low minimum order requirements so we can print and ship re-orders within 2 weeks. You can re-order as needed in any additional quantities. For Specialty Card orders we ask that your re-order is a minimum of 100 cards. BE VERY CAREFUL OF ANYONE WHO ALLOWS UNSOLD CUSTOMIZED OR SPECIALTY CARDS TO BE RETURNED. Typically there are unrealistic restrictions in small print or you are paying too much for your cards.
When does the card expire? The card will expire one year from the date the cards are printed, unless otherwise requested.
How long should our savings card fundraiser last? We recommend a two week sales campaign. We have found that if it is any longer your fundraising members will tend to procrastinate and not place the fundraising campaign as a high priority.
