Small Business Owners
Small businesses are owned by our neighbors and are the foundation of our
communities. Being small business owners ourselves we wanted to offer our merchants
something that would truly be of benefit to them. Each merchant that participates in our
fundraisers is given a free account on our website. Vendors are allowed to create
coupons at their leisure. They can also edit or d
elete a coupon at anytime. Business
owners can now offer discounts in the hopes of soliciting new customers without the fear
of being contractually obligated to any particular coupon. This method allows us to
attract more merchants, thus offering the consumer a greater variety of savings. The
vendor gets some great free advertising while simultaneously supporting a worthy cause
in their community. Unlike printed coupon books our site allows for constantly evolving
discounts and the addition of new merchants throughout the year. Keep in mind that
many of your current donors are business owners themselves. These patrons can now
become vendors on the site which will not only strengthen their bond to the cause, but
also increase visibility for their business.
2. Donors/Consumers
After donating to a particular fundraiser every individual is given an access code to the
site. This code allows them to create their account. Membership to the GSC website
gives each consumer the ability to print as many discounts as they like, as often as they
like. Unlike most coupon sites, GSC specializes in small businesses. In combination
with our larger merchants, we provide discounts to all of your favorite local
establishments as well. These coupons include: hair salons, restaurants, home
maintenance and repair, automotive service and so much more. GSC prides itself on
providing quality coupons to its members.
3. The FundraiserWe know that nonprofits are not prone to taking risks with their highly coveted donations. GSC is the only fundraising site that is completely risk free for the charity. Institutions no
longer have to spend their precious dollars in hopes that their efforts will be prolific. Every dollar garnered via the GSC website is a profitable dollar. With so many worthy causes vying for a finite amount of money it is essential to offer the
donor something of significant value, yet still affordable. When building Great Savings
Coupons we kept these facts in mind. GSC offers the benefactor something of much
greater value than the dollar amount of their donation. This is an essential element to not
only attracting new patrons, but keeping them. Successful fundraising is not a onetime effort. It is a day after day, month after month
perpetual grind. The GSC website is open for business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
365 days a year. Unlike a special event it does not require months of planning and the
physical presence of the donor. It is not a product that mandates salespeople, inventory
or delivery. Memberships can easily be sold via email and social media. This greatly
reduces the physical burden of fundraising. Now your representatives can focus more of
their time and energy on increasing their donor lists which translates to more revenue. The GSC website allows for loyal donors to simply renew their membership every six
months. The nonprofit no longer has to manually solicit their donors with a new product
or event. Every renewal translates to nonenergy income for the cause. The subscriber
information is kept in the GSC database so they can easily be contacted in the future.
