Who would have ever thought you could help the environment by recycling and Fundraise at the same time!
Well with an Inkjet Cartridge Fundraiser you can do just that!!!
It will also be quite easy to find a market for both ideas.
Just think... every organisation and business will use Inkjet Cartridges as they will all have printers, and faxes etc. So there is definitely a demand for cartridges, as well as a need to get rid of them!
Affiliate Referral Fundraising:
Many Inkjet companies on the net will pay excellent commission for customers that you refer to them.
Most of these are recycling companies and will pay up to 55% commission on sales... Definitely a worthwhile venture!!!
An added bonus is that these online companies wil be alot cheaper than buying from a local store...
Why is it a bonus? Because people will be so much more willing to help out if they know they can get something for cheaper, and also help out a great cause at the same time!
You can find these Cartridge Companies through affiliate backend providers like
LinkShare
or
ShareASale.
Using one of these providers will also cut out any commission payment issues as they will deal with all the payments etc. and will pay you one monthly lump sum for all your commissions!
Please Note! If you are not experienced with affiliate marketing be careful to represent a company directly... By using a backend provider you are guaranteed to receive your commissions.
Once you've found a company to recommend, you'll want to add their special referral link to your website.
But be creative about it... Announce that people can help raise funds for your cause while saving money themselves. Maybe even compare prices of other Inkjet Cartridges!
You should also email and post out a page to all your supporters and local companies (or every company you can find), comparing prices of Inkjets.
Explain how much people will save by buying through you and that they will be fundraising for your cause at the same time!
(Be sure not to put the name of the Inkjet Company on the letters. This will ensure that people will go through the link on your website and not buy directly from them!)
One last tip would be to first buy and test the products yourself to make sure they are of decent quality. You never ever want to recommend poor quality products!
Recycling Inkjet Catridge Fundraiser:
This Inkjet Cartridge Fundraiser probably won't be as profitable as the one above but will still be worthwhile and rewarding to do!
Pretty much there are companies that will pay you cash to collect empty inkjet and laser cartridges and send them in to be recycled.
So get all the businesses that are buying cartridges through you (and any other company or supporter) to return their empty cartridges back to you for recycling.
Some recycling companies, like Funding Factory, will even allow you to get your supporting businesses to send their cartridges directly, which will save some leg work for you!
Funding Factory also has a value list of what each different type of Cartridge will earn you.
Another company to look at would be the Inkbank Program.
A few of these companies, like recyclefirst.com, will also pay cash for second hand mobile phones and other appliances... So don't limit yourself to just Inkjets.
I am pretty sure that this Inkjet Cartridge Fundraiser will fit in perfectly with your Fundraising cause. So get proactive, help the environment and start raising those funds!
