Local restaurant and entertainment venues thriving!
Brunswick Zone is currently building next to Hollywood Theaters at Interquest. Culvers just opened another location on North Academy, and it's new Falcon location is set to open Feb. 2. Colorado Springs Philharmonic wrapped up a fantastic 2009, as did Seven Falls and the Colorado Sky Sox. All five have coupons on this year's BOGO Blue Value Card, which sells for just $10. Cheer squads, soccer, gymnastics, baseball, softball, swim, and wrestling teams, dance and skating, choral, orchestra, and band, PTO and PTA groups, elementary schools, church groups, Mosaic, and the Pikes Peak American Red Cross are just a few of the local organizations that have fundraised with the fast, easy, and profitable BOGO Blue Value Card. To purchase yours today, go to "Buy the Card" and make sure to choose from the pull-down menu an organization that benefits from your purchase. Contact James at 640-2056 if your organization is interested in fundraising in the Colorado Springs Falcon Monument Fountain Security Widefield areas.

University Village openings
Keva Juice and Tan Your Hide, both with fantastic coupons on this year's BOGO Blue Value Card, have just recently opened or are close to opening stores in the new University Village Center north of Nevada & Garden of the Gods. Keva Juice's "Buy a Smoothie, Get 1 FREE" and Tan Your Hide's "Get 20% OFF any Paid In Full Membership or Package" are by themselves worth the $10 purchase price, not to mention the other 75 merchants' offers! With an expiration of December 31, 2010 and an accordion-style fold up design that's always with you in your wallet or purse, BOGO Blue just makes good sense. Plus, it benefits those groups that are currently fundraising and saves Colorado Springs residents money! Your online purchase benefits those groups currently fundraising. Thank you!

What a fantastic value! What a great fundraiser!
Groups have already started selling the BOGO Blue Value Card for $10, and the response so far is tremendous. One customer purchased four cards for a total of $40, for a company party of twenty, and saved $240 just at the Royal Gorge Bridge! Multiple value cards have been bought just for the Air Force football game in November, as well as for Echo Canyon River Expeditions-the unusually high waters on the Arkansas River are a big draw with the $10 OFF coupon. And what a fundraiser! Reports have already come in of at least four individuals selling over 30 value cards each, in less than one week, and groups scrambling to get more value cards to sell. In these challenging economic times, schools, youth sports teams, and non-profit groups are finding that a $10 value card makes for a fast, easy, and profitable fundraiser.

Lower Price!
We are into the last 9 months of validity (Dec. 31 expiration). BOGO Blue is now priced at $10! Since lowering the price from $20 to $10, three groups' card sales are going like gangbusters. One group member used the card at the Austin Bluffs and Academy Qdoba, and the manager there liked it so much, he asked to buy one himself. A Cold Stone Creamery manager told me that they are now seeing more BOGO Blue Value Cards than competitors'. I've heard a lot of buzz about Bistro de Pinto, with people making the connection between their rave reviews and their ad on the value card. This is all great news. Our thanks go out to the 80 area merchants that make it possible for groups to fundraise in such an easy, fast, and profitable manner.

$30 Savings on one coupon alone!
A group I met with this evening informed me that after looking at around 20 different fundraising ideas, they chose the BOGO Blue Value Card. Why? They noted that it has four times the number of merchants that most cards have. They liked how it offered customers value, and not an overpriced food item. They were impressed that one of the merchants on the card, Plato’s Closet, a store that most junior high and high school students regularly shop at, offered customers $10 off a $20 purchase, valid for three uses. That one coupon alone saves a family with teens and pre-teens $30! Because of coupons like this, they think their group members will be successful in raising funds faster and easier than in the past. Call us at (800) 559-1427 or at (719) 429-7224, to find out more about our absolutely no-risk, custom-tailored rewards, and outstanding customer service.

A product people actually want to buy!
I was approached yesterday by an elementary school PTO parent who was tired of her children's school fundraiser selling overpriced wrapping paper and cookie dough. She was looking for a product that had great value in the customers' eyes, and eventually settled upon the BOGO Blue Value Card. Her reasons are clear to see: valuable money-saving coupons from eighty area restaurants, entertainment, and goods & services merchants, all on an accordion-style card that easily fits into customers' wallet or billfold. With coupon redemption rates up, and money being squeezed tighter and tighter in this economy, the value card is a fundraising product people are happy to buy, and one groups can be proud to sell. Call us today at (800) 559-1427 or at (719) 429-7224 for more information.
10/8/2008
Coupon redemption up for the first time in 15 years
A recent report showed that coupon redemption in the United States has increased for the first time in 15 years. That makes selling the BOGO Blue Value Card that much more effective of a fundraiser for your group! Consumers are only buying what they absolutely need or use, and eating on the run is one of them. With all of the eateries on the card, customers can begin to save money immediately. For more information on how to fundraise with the easiest, fastest, and most profitable product in Colorado Springs, call us at (800) 559-1427 or (719) 429-7224.
