Q. How does the order taker program work?
A. Norcard runs, what is known as, an order taker program. When you sign up for the program you will indicate a date in which the brochures and order forms will arrive. Each participant gets sent home with a brochure and order form to take orders from family and friends. When the designated selling period is over, all order forms get returned to the fundraising coordinator who will then courier them back to us. We provide you with everything you need to send them back on our account. We package the orders by participant and ship them back within 3 weeks of the day we confirm that we have received your order.
Q. Are there any charges or restrictions for brochures and order forms?
A. There are no charges or restrictions on brochures and order forms so long as your organization completes the program. In the event that Norcard does not receive an order, Norcard reserves the right to charge the organization for all sales materials, sample kits, prepaid envelopes and all related shipping costs. The fee schedule is as follows: Brochures are $0.50 each, Order Forms are $0.05 each, Incentive Flyer is $0.02, prepaid envelope costs are marked on envelope, and shipping varies depending on such factors as weight and distance etc.
Q. How much profit goes to our organization from an order taker program?
A. Your organization will keep up to 50% of every product sold depending on the programs you sign up for. Therefore when someone purchases a $10.00 item, $5.00 goes directly to the organization. Taxes are included in the other $5.00 that we bill to your organization.
Norcard Fundraising Gift Shoppe, 50%; Norcard Christian Seasonal Greeting Cards, 50%; Preview jewelry, 45%; Heartland Gourmet cookies, 45%; Home Beautiful candles, 45%; Foxy’s Gourmet smoothie mixes and dips, 40%
