School Fundraising Ideas: Pizza Card

What is a pizza card and how is it different?

Simple - a pizza card is a discount card that is used at national pizza chains, with offers related to only one merchant. It often provides a two-for-one offer on every order and is tends to be priced at $10 for a card good for a one-year period.

Depending on the location of the outlets or whether they are tied to one outlet in the national chain alone, offers may differ. To be specific, Pizza Hut cards are considered the best for eat-in consumers, but the majority of cards would be best utilized by people who order via delivery or order to-go.

Given how popular pizza is with younger children as well as teenagers, pizza cards are excellent school fundraising ideas.

The cards for Pizza Hut and those for some of the other chains place a limit on the number of times you can use the card,often 21 times. That is an awful lot of free pizza for $10. Usage is tracked via holes punched in marked spots on the card.

Make sure you scrutinize each special offer - there are stratified offers, such as those that give you a free pizza in medium size for each large pizza you buy. Come to think of it, this is often a good idea, because adult taste buds differ greatly from a child's, and that would often include the type of pizza toppings they would prefer.

Like the discount card, pizza cards can be obtained from many suppliers. Keep your options open and compare prices and national chains that each card may offer.

All things considered, school fundraisers can benefit from the unusual touch and easy profitability that pizza cards have to offer.
