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.

|Return To Top|

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.

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.

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.

|Return To Top|

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.

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.
