The Little Banner That Could

FundScrip has recently made numerous and significant upgrades to its Supporter website and we’d like to thank all our Group Administrators and Supporters for hanging on for the ride.  Everyone was awesome during this important transition!

Besides the overhaul to the entire ordering site, one of the most noteworthy changes has been the need for an Invitation Code.  Every FundScrip group/cause/sport team/non-profit/church/school is now assigned a unique 6 digit alpha-numeric code. This invitation code is the only way for a potential supporter to find and join your group or cause on FundScrip.

Where can a Group Administrator find this Invitation Code?

First begin by going to the FundScrip Login Page and login as a Group Administrator by selecting your group under the Administration heading from the Selector Panel.

NOTE: You’ve probably all noticed by now that the Administrator Dashboard has not yet been upgraded to the new look. Well, we are working on it and should be ready to go in 2011!

At the top of the page, you will notice 1) a url link and; 2) a 6 digit alpha-numeric code.  This is the unique Invitation Code and link which have been specifically assigned to your FundScrip Group.

Why do we provide you with a URL?

This URL sends your potential supporters directly to the FundScrip Login/Sign Up page and automatically fills in your group’s Invitation Code in the appropriate field.  All they have to do is to fill in the remaining required information.  That’s it!  Your supporter is ready to start buying gift cards for your fundraiser and best of all, they can help make it an even bigger success!

How do I communicate my Invitation Code?

There are several ways you can forward this Invitation Code to your potential supporters and the most obvious way is to copy either the URL or the 6 digit code and paste it in an email message (along with a few introductory words about your FundScrip campaign).

These days you don’t have to be a genius to realize that being creative will get your group or cause noticed.  That’s why it’s worth including our newly created FundScrip Sign Up Banner on your school’s, team’s, church’s or non-profit organization’s website.  Remember to link the image to your group’s unique URL as provided in FundScrip Group Administator Dashboard.

We created this banner especially for our Group Administrators.  To download your own version right now, simply right on this image and save it to your computer.  Now all your website administrator or webmaster has to do is upload it to your website and assign it your group’s unique URL to the image.  That’s it!  It’s a hassle-free sign up process for your new supporters!

We’d love to know if you placed our banner on your website or blog and don’t be shy – send us the link.

As usual, if you have any questions I’m always available for you!
