Fundraising At It's Best!
The Ritz Provides a Perpetual Fundraising Program!
Your organization can benefit from a partnership with The Ritz!
America is
a very “giving” society. Nonetheless, there are many very worthy causes
that struggle every day for funding. And the saddest thing is that there
is an easy solution that works in the background generating perpetual
funds for the cause. It does not need to be a struggle.
Most fundraising
programs are less than effective because they require so much work to
succeed. If you are going to sell a product (i.e. candy bars, greeting
cards, fruit and other things) you first need the capital to order
them. Then you must organize a team volunteers. These volunteers
must be trained and motivated to sell what is usually an over-priced
product that many people do not use or need – a job many are
very uncomfortable with. And of course, transportation must also be organized
and implemented. Should any one of these steps not come together as
designed and required, the entire program fails to achieve the desired results.
Contrast that with
using our Internet Access as a fundraising program:
·Almost
Everyone Uses It- Each
year, more than 20 million new subscribers purchase dial-up Internet
service from a new ISP. Existing subscribers with the largest service
providers (AOL, MSN, Earthlink to name a few) continually receive poor
customer satisfaction ratings, which accounts for more than one-third of
these consumers looking for a new service provider each year. All of
this represented more than 75 million subscribers who signed up for
dial-up Internet Access with a new ISP in 2002. These numbers will
continue to grow every year.
·A Superior Product
– Our
product is superior to the service offered by the “big guys.” Read “About
Us” to see what makes
The Ritz internet access superior.
·A High Value
– Not only
is our Internet Access experience superior to that of the “big guys” but
our retail price is 20%-25% less than theirs. Superior Product + Lower
Price = High Value!
·AutoMagic Marketing Plan
– Although
we would quickly agree that a team of sales volunteers can have a very
positive impact on results, you can enjoy great results without them.
Review “AutoMagic Marketing Plan” below.
·It’s Perpetual
–Not only can you
receive a donation with each sign-up that comes from your
recommendation; you also receive a donation each month they maintain
that internet access account, for the life of that account. Our
Perpetual Fundraising Program provides a helping hand by creating a
consistent flow of contributions.
·No
Start-Up Costs
– If you qualify, there are no start-up costs and nothing to inventory.
Anyone can afford to use our program.
·You do the marketing, we do the rest– Our program is free
of maintenance on your part. Your responsibility is to "spread the word"
and we do everything else. We even give you valuable sales tools to help
you succeed. Sign-ups are handled via the internet, or through calls
with our friendly customer care staff via a toll free number. Should
there ever be a problem, the subscriber is directed to our 24 hour
Technical Support Desk via a toll free telephone number where our
friendly support staff will quickly resolve the problem. And you can
monitor the progress of your fundraising through the internet and verify
your fund amounts any time of day. Then, because it is recurring
revenue, you can enjoy donation checks every month on these same active
subscriber accounts.
Who qualifies for
the The Ritz Fundraising Program? Any worthwhile cause in need of raising
funds: charities, churches, schools, youth clubs, etc.

Plan
To begin with you are
in charge of designing the program and determining the size of the
contributions you will receive.
Contributions
You can choose to
offer our standard retail price ($19.95/month and $20 one-time set-up
fee) and earn $20 for each sign-up and then $3.00 every month for the
life of the account. Or if you choose, you can price it at $21.95/month
and earn $5.00/month. Or $17.95/month and earn $1.00/month. You can
charge a one-time set-up fee $0-$20 and keep it all. This allows you to
enjoy contributions of as much as $20 up front and then $5.00/month as a
perpetual contribution for each subscriber referred.

Sales Tools
The Ritz provides you
with several sales tools to make your fundraising program a smashing
success:
·Promotional Code – The key to the program is the unique promo code we
assign to your program. When anyone signs up for service they are asked
for your promo code. This code assigns the subscriber to your program so
you will receive the appropriate perpetual contributions for each
sign-up every month. In turn the pricing you select is tied to your code
so that is the only price they see when signing-up. This code can be
used in printed advertisements/flyers or in a choice of a couple
specific links from emails and your website.
·Sign-Up Page - Those in your target market that already have internet access can
simply click on one of a couple unique link styles (that include your
promo code) to sign-up for service. Or they can simply come to our
portal, click the menu link to sign-up and enter your promo code.
·Co-Branded Sign-Up Software – For those in your target market without Internet Access,
we provide you with co-branded (with your logo and the logo of The Ritz)
sign-up software that you can place on floppies or CD and give to them
to use in signing up. The software includes your unique promo code so
they do not even need to remember it.
·InstyPage – We have created a special sales page for fundraising that AutoMagically
co-brands the page in your name. By using this page you
can place a special graphic on your website (click here to see various
graphics you can use) and use a unique link that includes your name and
promo code. To demonstrate how this works we have created a demo
charity named “Your Charity” and have assigned a promo code of
“yourcode” and a password of “demo.” To see how InstyPage works, simply
click on the following link:
http://signup.TheRitz.us/charity1.asp?charity=Your
Charity&promocode=yourcode. From this page a visitor can
learn about our partnership and click an additional link to sign-up for
service under your promo code.
·Links To Our Portal – If you prefer, you can create your own sales page on
your website or in an email message and use your unique link (includes
your promo code) to our sign-up page:
http://signup.TheRitz.us?promocode=YourCode.
·Toll-free Customer Support – Use our friendly and professional Customer Support staff
to sign-up subscribers that don’t have access to the internet and need
assistance in setting up their computers. The subscriber needs only to
tell the agent your unique promo code and it will be associated with
that account.
·Cash Register – Cash
Register is your own private sign-up and reporting module and can be
found at
http://staff.TheRitz.us/register.
You can use our demo charity information to check it out - Promo Code:
yourcode and Password: demo. You can manually sign up
subscribers within this module and know that your promo code is being
assigned. In addition, you can see how many subscribers you have secured
at a glance or in detailed reports for the week, the month, or the year
(so you can easily calculate contributions from set-up fees) and how
many active subscribers you have (so you can calculate the perpetual
monthly contributions).
