Are you wondering how the Scrip program works?
It's very simple and I can explain it in three or four basic points...
1. You come to the Scrip table with your checkbook or cash and place an order*.
2. You receive your order
3. You go shopping!
4. The church makes MONEY!
*If we don't carry your item in stock, it will be here the following Sunday.
Let's go just a little more in depth using Lindos & Al's in our example.
1. You come to the Scrip table and place an order for $20 in Lindos and $100 to Al's.
2. You receive $20 to Lindos & $100 to Al's.
3. It's Sunday and you just love the Chicken Soup at Lindos so you go there for dinner and you use your gift certificate. Then on Monday, you go grocery shopping at Al's and you use your gift certificate there as well.**
4. When the church pre-ordered those gift certificates we purchased them at a discount. Lindos gives 10% and Al's gives 5%. Therefore when we sold those certificates to you 1st UMC made $2.00 & $5.00 respectfully. Or 1st UMC made $7.00 from your $120 order.
**Any "change" will stay on the gift certificate and you just keep using it until it is all gone.
See, it really is just that simple. The hardest part is remembering that you have the certificates! I suggest putting them in the money (cash) area of your wallet or right in your checkbook in front of the next check. That way you see them and you will be sure to use them. Once you get in the habit, it will become second nature! Start using them today for all your normal household shopping. It will also help keep you on BUDGET!
There are many NATIONAL companies who sell gift cards through SCRIP and everyone can find somewhere they shop regularly. Scrip is a GREAT way to send birthday gifts, graduation gifts, wedding, anniversary, Fathers day, etc.
We have made over $3,600 profit in just 11 months for our church! We are just $1,400 in profit away from reaching our first goal of $5,000 in the first year! We really need your help!
