From The Desk of
Robert D. Robins, President and CEO

Dear Fundraisers, PTA/PTO Leaders, Principals, Teachers, Coaches, School Leaders, Students, Parents, Grandparents, Non-Profits and Charities,

The next time you need to buy a gift for your 4 year olds birthday, why not buy an award winning educational toy or game from www.ShopForStudents.com? 

Looking for a beautiful necklace for your fiancee? A gift of cologne for your brother? Need a gift for a great teacher?  Need organizational products for your favorite student? Want to say thank you for a special person who cares for your child?  Wanting to go natural with a ‘Green’ Baby gift for your best friend’s Baby Shower?  Or a plush toy or beautiful baby blanket? Perhaps you helped organize a 10K run and need affordable custom silicone wristbands?  Double the benefit of your purchase or gift, buy it here and we donate back 15% of all orders and send it monthly to your favorite school or non-profit.

When was the last time that you went shopping? Yesterday or last week? Let's say you spent $25 or $45  on a present at your local store. When you paid at the cash register did they say they would like to make a donation in honor of your children for their classroom or sports team? 99.9% of the time the answer would be NO. If by chance the answer was yes, would it ever be 15% of the entire purchase? Not of a commission or profit on a product. 15% of the entire purchase.

You know how your friends ask you to donate to their kids school or team you are always happy to help. It's usually  a choice of cookie dough, popcorn or perhaps a small 10 item brochure. Some children/students stand on street corners holding a football helmet asking for a $1.00 donation to strangers that drive by or 100's of other unsafe, unusual ways or less successful ways to fundraise...

What if you could simply let your fundraiser generate money for your classroom, school or group without you having to pay constant attention to it? What if this fundraiser gave supporters of your classroom, etc. a choice of 10,000's of products hand picked, products affordably priced, no cost for your class or group at all and gave your group a monthly donation check equal to a huge 15% of any and every order placed 24/7/365 that was referred by you and your students, parents, etc. How great does that sound?
 
Join Us! "Start Your Fundraiser Here".

We have created a new and improved way to fundraise. 

Here's what we have put together, this makes alot of sense.

We have eliminated the waste in required printing. If you choose to make your own flyers that great, but make sure to look up your toner, drum kit or ink cartridge # under our ink and toner section, you, your family, your classroom and school and your business will pay the same, save sometimes a great amount PLUS the 15% goes back. As a professional fundraising company I believe it is our responsibility to be just that, responsible.

Wouldn't it be nice for your supporters to have a long list of gifts and products that they can choose from to support your school or group?

The answer is better, greener choices in fundraising and that is what we have worked on to create ShopForStudents.com for all of you. Your supporters will love this.

We offer nice affordable everyday items and gift giving products that people want to buy, giving them better choices and the best part...

We give back far more than the largest online retailer that gives back only 5% to charitable organizations.

How about TRIPLE????

Beware of companies offering large % of their profit on a product. Why? Because they often give your group back a tiny percentage of their small commission on each item you buy, they just track a click that you did through their website to an online retailer. For example: say the item purchased to raise money on another fundraising website is a piece of jewelry. The website that is hosting that fundraiser is paid a commission on what you buy.

Now, let's say they promise your group 50% back. Which sounds like enormous amounts of money. But is it really??

The example: you decide to buy a necklace for $69.00 and the website owner gets a commission of 5%, so they receive $3.45 and give you 50% back. Your school or group will receive $1.73 on that $69.00 retail sale. That's it...alot less than their huge percentage promises, isn't it?

How much would your school or group receive when one of your supporters bought a $69.00 necklace at ShopForStudents.com receive?

Simple, our monthly donation to your school or group is simple to figure, 15% equals $10.35. Yes, $10.35. So when we write a HUGE donation, we're not kidding. No gimmicks, no hype, no catches, no exclusions, no tiny print and no sign up costs or fees.

Sometimes 5%, rarely 10%, what about 15% every order?? That is nearly TRIPLE of some major online retail shopping fundraisers.  We do it for you , 24/7 and 365 days a year.  
 
When shopping here you have made a conscious decision to help your favorite school or organization. By using a unique URL and banner ad (that are automatically provided to you at checkout), orders now referred via the Internet via our/your new online shopping, site by your school or organization will be automatically credited to who you care about most. 

To get started simply fill out our simple form from the home page. Click on "Start Your Fundraiser Here". Tell us who you are and where you would like the monthly donation checks to go to. Getting started could not be any easier.

Then tell every one of your supporters, tell your friends, tell your family, tell everyone that will listen, remind them over and over. E-mail everyone in both your business and your personal email list, that's it.  Spread your enthusiasm, make people delighted shopping the www.ShopForStudents,com way and help your school. Tell them in every form you can, weekly meetings, assemblies, newsletters, e-zines, blogs, myspace, facebook, twitter, e-mails, letters, postcards, any way you can. 

All you (the fundraising leader) need to do is place your custom made or your own banner ad (make sure your link to us is embedded) on your school website in multiple places, add it to your newsletter, write articles about how our company mails you the donation checks and that you need everyone's involvement. They will love this because it can be done at home or the office, a few minutes here and a few minutes there. What a difference, now no excuses not to get involved in your child's or neighborhood schools fundraising. 

No one is TOO busy to participate in  ShopForStudents.com.

This has to be one of the easiest online fundraising programs. It does not take away from family time and it's safe.  We support you in every way possible. It works so simply, every month our company will donate 15% of every product sale that was made in the previous month by you and your supporters.  Use our online store to benefit your school, non-profit or charity because of the unique URL and banner you receive at our Start Your Fundraiser Here link on the home page.

As a teacher, administrator or group leader you may find useful "tools" to help you with the classroom or for your own family and  friends. With so much going back to help your own inner circle, your community, make sure to shop as often as you can as well.

As a parent myself I am involved in almost every fundraiser and fundraising event for my children. We must be diligent and work together to eliminate the financial burden that our schools and teachers now carry. Teachers should not be paying out of their own pockets any amount of money to take care of our children and their needs in the classroom.

I thank these dedicated teachers and it is time we all band together and cover these costs for our children so our teachers do not have to. Every child deserves every field trip, book to read, healthy meals and snacks. They need energy so that they can understand everything you are busy teaching them.  Teachers are no longer alone in the fight to provide what is missing in the lives of the children in their classroom. 

I predict that when our simple basic marketing ideas are implemented, combined with your enthusiastic creative fundraising minds; our program will soon become the most successful ongoing school fundraising solution in America.

You no longer have to ask anyone to buy candy or anything else that they may not want or need. No more piling your children into the minivan and no more knocking on strangers or neighbors doors. No more collecting money dropping it off, going back to pick up the merchandise and delivering it once again. Talk about a waste of gas, time away from family time and it is hard work! Many items chosen are so unhealthy, you can stop all of this risk by using ShopForStudents.com to meet your fundraising goals.

Our online store is one of a kind. We have not duplicated or just filled our store as a one themed product store.  A store where we do our best to put together quality, award winning (in many cases) products that make alot more sense than what most school fundraising catalogs offer and in many cases better than what you night find at your local store. At check out do they ask where to send your donation?  Nope. 

Come back often as we are always adding cool and special products to make your life more porductive, more fun and just more interesting. Products that your gift recipient really wants or needs. Instead of your supporters making a 1-2x a year purchase(s) from your current print catalog or cookie dough fundraiser, what if those same supporters shop and buy at your 24/7/365 day online store 4x a year?  What if it became 1x a month or more?  Now they e-mail their friends, family and business associates. 

This is a simple numbers game.  Reach all of those out of town relatives and friends that never get to participate in the support of your school before because they live so far away?  With ShopForStudents.com they can play an active role in your local fundraiser and tell all of their friends and business associates. How great is that?  Clearly we are at the top of the fundraising choice list, for many reasons.

ShopForStudents.com is not only FREE and easy to do, it’s duplicatable.  It involves nothing more than telling others about what we are doing to raise money, ongoing.  You and your group are already doing that with every other fundraiser, you are great at it. 

We take fundraising to the next level because, it’s easy and safe.  It has no time constraint, the amount of money you will receive from us each month, 12 months a year (even when your school is closed in summertime) will be as great as what you put into this.  How many times have you thought a certain fundraiser you chose, didn't quite work out exactly as you had hoped? Everything was riding on that one night, one week or one month or more.  No more of that feeling.  This is ongoing and we hope will not only support all of your fundraising goals, but perhaps exceed it by miles. That is our hope for you, your school, your students and families. 

My staff and I have taken the time, to put together a simple, easy to follow system.  Encourage your leaders, teachers, students and families to start and place orders online often via your banner and/or link to get you to ShopForStudents.com.  Here is what one looks like. We have a great staff of graphic specialists, should you need something more custom for your school or group, just e-mail us or call. It will be our pleasure to assist in any way that we can. Make sure to share the banner and raise the money!!!!

The last question you may have is what does it cost me, our school or non-profit? My promise to all of you is…NOTHING. ZERO. ZIP. NADA. No cost. No Gimmicks. No Hype. No Catches. 

Then ask everyone on staff to start putting up posters with the website name and send e-mails out to everyone they know both through work and their personal e-mail lists to encourage everyone to do the same thing. Feel free to add and delete custom copy as you deem necessary. Next show your students how to send e-mails on their own or better yet, ask them to please click on our link called "What You Can Do Now: Tell a Friend by E-Mail". Each product description page has an image of an envelope that says “Send to a Friend”. Click on it and add to the prewritten e-mail, tell them to tell others and watch your donations increase.  

Our staff here at Creative Community Marketing, LLC will be happy to help you in any way they can. You can use our marketing cards (there is a place to fill in the name of your school and teachers name) and PDF’s you can print out. Have a suggestion? Post signs and banners in the classroom, in the cafeteria or in view of a large group of students, (perhaps your next basketball game).

"Every order sold on our web site under your school name at checkout, will generate an automatic monthly donation check. The more schools and groups we can help the better! My promise is to write a check in the name of your school, student group, non-profit or charity and mail it according to either the information you provide and/or as indicated at checkout. The amount of the check I sign will be equal to exactly 15% of the total sales on every sale made. Together we will make a difference in our children's classroom and lift the burden! No hype, no tricks, no exclusions. My word is my vow." RR

Here’s to Our Success for Many Years to Come with ShopForStudents.com!
