Fund raising with MySkatingMall.com!
Our mission at MySkatingMall.com is to support the skating community. That is why MySkatingMall.com was designed so that 5%-90% of every purchase raises money for skating clubs and teams. Sure, that’s old news … Are you ready for something new???
Our Club and Team accounts, which are set up for FREE for any skating group that registers, are now equipped with resources to allow clubs and teams to quickly start a hassle free fund raising campaign!
The first resource is a pre-filled poster with your group’s name for you to display or email out to members. This can alert them about the fund raising campaign. Then we have included a sample email to send out to group members in order to launch the campaign. Among other things, that email explains the three ways that groups can make money on MySkatingMall.com. Below is a snipit from the email. It is written as being sent from the skating group to its members:
“1) When you list an item on the site, you have the option to choose how much of the sale price you want forwarded to our club’s PayPal account when the item sells. The top choice is 87.5%. You can choose anywhere between 2.5% and 87.5% but our hope is that you will choose the 87.5% so that we will have more funds to support our members. If just five of our members sell a $50 item and each has chosen 87.5% of the purchase to go to our club, we will have raised $218.75!
2) When you buy an item from MySkatingMall.com, 2.5% of the purchase price will automatically be forwarded to our PayPal account.
3) MySkatingMall.com has established partnerships with many skating retailers. When our members go to MySkatingMall.com and then link to these Partner sites, 5% of every purchase will go to our club’s account. The logos and links to participating Partner Stores can be found on the bottom half of the page at http://www.myskatingmall.com. ”
We have two copies of this email available; one written for clubs and another for teams. All it requires is to copy and paste the sample email (that has the club/team name already filled in!) to your own email software to send out. Once that’s done then PRESTO! let the fund raising begin.
A third resource we have available is the ability to send club/team members a pre-written invitation email directly from MySkatingMall.com that asks them to join the group’s fund raising efforts.
We will be adding additional resources as the weeks go on. Our goal is to make this easy for anyone to manage. Each skating group can keep track of which members have registered on MySkatingMall.com and have chosen the group as their beneficiary.
If these things sound good to you, check out our Club/Team FAQs and then register your skating group! It is always FREE to register at MySkatingMall.com. Chart of how all the financials are handled on MySkatingMall.com are found through our How it works link at the top of the site’s front page.
After many months of preparation, MySkatingMall.com is opening its virtual doors to the public this Friday. You can access it at
