Value Cards


How do we get started?

Simply give us a call at 1-800-969-1255. It takes about 15 minutes to set up your fundraiser.

How much does a customer pay for each Value Card?

The suggested retail price of each Value card is $10.00.

* Aspire has twelve different value cards. Prices range from $5.00 to $20.00.

Can we offer the cards sat a different price?

Yes, however, we do not recommend it. Our experience indicates that the suggested retail price is the optimal price point for maximizing your profits. Increasing or decreasing the retail price will increase your risk of losing potential profit.

How much do the cards cost?

Your cost is based on the number of beef snacks and the type that you purchase. The more your group sells, the higher the profit percentage.

*See profit calculator on the Value Cards catalog page.

Do we have to pay any star- up fees? A set up charge? A delivery charge?

No, there are not any start-up fees. Our Value Card program includes everything that you will need at no up front cost to you.

Can we have our group name and colors on the card?

Yes! We encourage customization for maximum results.

Who secures the merchant's offers on the card?

We can contact businesses for you!

Can we suggest merchants in our area for the value card?

Yes! We encourage a "wish list" from the organization of merchants you would like us to contact.

Which businesses in my area typically participate with Value Cards?

Every area is different. On average, we are able to secure a combination of national franchises like McDonald's, Pizza Hut and local businesses such as car washes, dry cleaners and restaurants.

Do you have select businesses already committed?

Yes, in some areas we have already made contact with some businesses. Since most franchises are independently owned, the majority of our "national" offers are secured by contacting the local franchise in your area.

What kind of offers are on your Value Card?

A variety of discounts are on our Value Cards and it depends solely on the merchant. The most popular offers are a percentage off purchase or a "buy one, get one free" discount.

How many offers will be included on the Value Card?

Our cards offer a minimum of 8 offers and a maximum of 24. Our recommendation is 12 offers, simply because the more offers printed on the card, the smaller the images and can be hard to read for some of your customers.

* Each card has different offer quantities. Cards range from 1 offer to over 24. Ask your Aspire Agent for details.

When will the offers end?

Cards expire 1 year from the date the cards are printed.

What is the Value Card size?

Cards are the same size and thickness as a credit card.

How long do you suggest we run the fund raiser?

Normally we suggest 2 weeks with a minimum of 2 week-ends in that time period.

How long does it take to receive our Value Cards once they are ordered?

Delivery time will vary depending upon the amount of merchants chose. We recommend a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks to secure merchants, customize the front of the cards, print and ship the cards to you.

Do we have to pay for the Value Cards upfront?

No, terms are offered with approved credit or a school district purchase order number.

Is there a minimum order?

Yes, we have a minimum order of 200cards.

How do we determine the number of Value Cards to order?

We suggest 3 to 5 cards per fund raiser participant. If your organization has 200 participants, we recommend ordering 600 cards or more.

Can we order more Value Cards if we need them?

Yes, we can ship reorders within 1 week. Reorders have a 50 card minimum.

What do we do with left over Value Cards?

Yes, for total cards purchased of 400 or more you can return unlimited quantities. For less than 400 total cards purchased, you can return cards up to 15% of the total cards purchased as long as you meet the minimum order of 200 cards.

If we combine Value Cards with another fund raiser program, will the minimum order requirement or profit structure change?

Yes, there is a possibility that the minimums and / or profit structure may change. Please ask your Aspire Representative for details.

Do you offer an incentive program?

We do offer incentive programs with our other types of fund raisers. However, because the Value Cards sell themselves, we typically do not offer incentives with the Value Cards.

Do you offer a Parent Letter?

We offer a Parent Letter Template that you can customize and print to promote your fund raiser!

Do you offer a complete "Step-by-Step" guide to help ensure everything goes smoothly?

Yes, our "Step-by-Step" guide will walk you through every step from ordering to invoice!!
