So youve heard the buzz about gyg.ie, and you want to get involved? Well, read on below to find out how you can be raising funds easily and quickly.
You may be aware that there is up to 20,000,000 Euro worth of old electronics being chucked out every year. The truth is that there is a lot of value in these items that can be unlocked for your Fundraiser, (if you know how), through the refurbishment and resale of these items. And GreenYourGoods is your know-how.
Simply put, you can set up your own fundraising page on gyg.ie in just 5 minutes that will allow your supporters from all over Ireland to freepost their old mobiles, iPods, digital cameras and games consoles into us on your behalf.
We check them and give your team the money directly, so there’s no messing about with having to get 1000 phones for a few sets of kit! And most importantly, we pay you as much as is possible for each item we collect, not just €4/phone like some scoundrels!
To make it easy for you, we provide the following:
- A personalised webpage that you can add a photo, description and thank you messages to
- Facebook & Twitter buttons that you or your supporters can click to share your page to their Facebook & Twitter followers
- A pre-written email you can send to your email lists and club supporters
- A ready made poster and flyers that you can put up to tell people about a gadget collection at an event
- Flat pack, tamper resistant Collection boxes that we can send to you for that added impact.
Remember, you dont even have to collect the items yourself, anyone from anywhere in the country just goes to your page, clicks Donate Gadget Now and gets a price for their item.
Have a look at Ken form Belgooly GAA’s page:
Once theyve entered their good luck message and address, they get a freepost address to send us the item, and hey presto we turn it into cash for your team!
So just go to http://www.gyg.ie/fundraising_sign_up.html to start your own page now, and you could be earning funds from old mobiles right away!
