Coin Tornado Gravity Wells Make Fundraising Easy For Charity & Non-profit

A non-profit organization is in a perfect position to join supporters together. You can probably think of several that would be great host locations and others that would love to be advertised inside the host. With a couple of phone calls you could set up a fundraiser that will produce $1,000's every year!

Tornados are placed as semi-permanent fixtures in high traffic locations such as fast food restaurants, busy retailers, convenience stores, community centers, banks, etc. They are also portable enough to be rolled out for special events. Here are a few reasons why Coin Tornado is so successful:

Acts as a mini bill-board for your organization
Unique, attention drawing device that entertains
It does not solicit, but attracts & intrigues
Cash flows 24/7, or as long as people are around
Low maintenance, only needs an occasional dusting
Incredible advertising venue for interested sponsors
No tangible product to re-stock or run out of
No electricity required
Portable, can easily be moved to new locations
Collect & deposit the coins at your convenience
No moving parts or mechanical components to malfunction

There are many unique characteristics about Coin Tornado that allow you to maximize its potential. The most obvious method is to place a well in a high traffic host location and simply collect the pocket change. While this is a powerful, extremely profitable, and easy way to raise funds, there are so many more possibilities. Coin Tornado has been designed with advertising and promotion in mind, and each comes standard with plexi-glass panels on all four sides. The plexi-glass is used to protect advertisers information. Each Coin Tornado has a 4" X 6" window located on the top, next to the coin launcher. This is typically where your organization's information is placed so that contributors can see where their change is really going.

"Double Edged Sword" -To the advertising sponsors, they can donate to your organization and at the same time, with the same dollar, receive incredible advertising that will grow their business.

As a Non-Profit you are the hub, in a position of power. You probably already have many supporters that own businesses. Consider those who have several hundred people passing through their establishment each day as excellent possible host locations. Normally they are very happy to host a funnel for you. The next step is to contact other supporters that would benefit from an advertisement inside that host location. The advertisers get a 2 for 1 special.....with the same dollar they give to your cause and receive advertising to grow their business!

The 3 parties involved all benefit tremendously: Advertiser, Host, & Non-Profit

An interactive form of advertising    Easy way for them to help your cause    Advertising venue to promote cause

Donation & Ad for the same dollar    Business synergy through advertisers    Very easy, simple, duplicatable system

You can advertise your organization on the sides of the table and still have plenty of room for sponsors. A local business is much more willing to give when they are going to receive! In offering them advertising space on the table it elevates the chances of them giving to your cause. Instead of just soliciting a donation, you are offering a powerful ad space to them. Sponsors advertising on one of your Coin Tornado tables benefits them in several ways:

They are seen inside the most precious real estate in town, a high traffic retailer!
They receive local, targeted advertising in exchange for their contributions
They are publicly associated with your organization, yielding good public relations
A unique & interactive form of advertising that generates effective impressions
Very affordable when compared to traditional ad venues (depending on what you charge)

So what can you expect to make from a table? Where it is placed makes all the difference as well as the attitude of the management. Not only do you want a high traffic host, but the funnel needs to be in a good area. Close to the cash register is good since that's where change is made. In good locations, tables can easily exceed $100 per month in coins and with enthusiastic management, $500! A cashier that promotes donations while giving change is very valuable.

Advertising Income:

There are 4 sides to each table measuring 16"X22". This enables you to offer 3 ad sizes per side: four 8"x10", or two 11"x14" or one 16"x20" poster. In total you can offer sixteen 8"x10" ads per funnel. Your host location generally sets the tone for how much to charge per ad. As a general rule, we suggest charging $250 per year for an 8X10, $500 for half side (11X14) and $1,000 for the whole side. Of course you can vary that however you like, you may want to charge that every 6 months therefore doubling the ad income. We have sold 8X10 ads a low as $220 and as high as $900 per year. For this type of advertising though, we feel a good beginning point is $250 per 8X10.

That $12,336 is no exageration, we have 4 tables in our Dallas market that did over $10,000 in gross advertising each. Most businesses prefer to write a check and be done rather than pay monthly. You may want to check your local paper to see what they charge in your area to help determine your pricing. You will also discover that Coin Tornado advertising is an amazing value compared to what businesses normally pay. Generally an impression from the newspaper will cost around .26 cents. With Coin Tornado we averaged about .01 cents!
