 he NewLife™ Charity Programme is designed for those who have a heart to give to the needy but may not have the means to do so. With this programme, it is easy and affordable for just about anyone to be charitable and socially responsible. Read on for a revolutionised way to raising funds for charity.
So, what exactly is the Charity Programme?
The entire programme works on the simple basis of products sold having 2 types of benefits:
| • |
Smart Points which are earning points "passed up" to the Charity Organisation (CO) and this will be how the funds are raised for the CO. |
| • |
Smart Saver Discount Vouchers (SDV) which are Discount Vouchers retained by the CO members who buy the Smart Saver products and save money for themselves. |
| • |
CO members (all signed up as Smart Saver) save money through the following ways:
| ο |
Buy products already with prices that are comparable or lower than the big retail super stores. |
| ο |
Obtain SDV from each purchase of the Smart Saver range of products that
allows them RM2/S$1 discount per voucher for the next purchase (up to 50% of the value of the product price). |
|
How does the Charity Programme work?
It is a very simple programme that allows each purchase made to have the cash
benefits passed up to the CO. The workings of the Charity Programme are:
| 1. |
CO agrees with NewLife™ (NL) on adoption of Programme |
| 2. |
NL presents Charity Programme to Board of CO for approval |
| 3. |
NL prepares the following for CO members to sign
| a. | Smart Saver (SS) application form |
| b. | Letter agreeing to have no upgrades on all Smart Saver accounts |
| c. | RM10/S$5 is collected from each CO member as Registration fee | |
| 4. |
NL receives the above items and prepares relevant receipts and materials for CO members
| a. | The SS Starters' Pack |
| b. | Receipt |
| c. | SS Identification Card | |
| 5. |
NL conducts a simple meeting to explain to CO members the following:
| a. | How the Programme works |
| b. | Why CO members will be supporting the CO when they buy and how the system of fund-raising works |
| c. | Where CO members can buy and collect their products |
| d. | How delivery can be made under certain circumstances |
| e. | What are the major benefits of the Programme |
| f. | How by introducing their family and friends, they will be helping to raise funds for the CO with the resultant benefit of saving money for themselves | |
| 6. |
NL officially informs all CO members who have signed up as Smart Saver where they can buy the Super Saver items as well as the other NewLife™ health and household items together with the relevant brochures given |
| 7. |
CO members introduce their family and friends to sign up as Smart Saver and they further earn eVouchers from such introductions |
| 8. |
CO members start to buy and each purchase will have all the Smart Points passed up to the CO as funds raised |
What is the likely quantum of funds that could be raised?
The likely quantum of funds that could be raised can be very easily calculated out in the following scenarios (scenario in Ringgit).
Assume that the members of the CO run a campaign to get their family and friends to sign up with NewLife™ as Smart Saver under the lineage of the CO:
|
|
SCENARIO 1 – CO GETS 50 MEMBERS & SUPPORTERS TO SIGN AS SMART SAVER
| ο |
Assume 50 CO members sign up as Smart Saver with NewLife™. |
| ο |
Assume that they each buy 3 Smart Saver products in a month. |
| ο |
Each of the CO members who buy 3 items will earn around 6 SDVs in that month. Together with the 3 SDVs that they get as Smart Saver, they will have about 9 SDVs in the first month. |
| ο |
Each of the above CO members who have 9 SDVs will save a further RM18 on
their next month's purchase of products that are already priced low. There is a "double" saving element here. |
| ο |
In this scenario, the CO will have 150 Smart Points passed up to the CO. |
| ο |
This would be equal to RM900 earnings for the CO that month. |
SCENARIO 2 – CO GETS 100 MEMBERS & SUPPORTERS TO SIGN AS SMART SAVER
| ο |
Assume 100 CO members sign up as Smart Saver with NewLife™. |
| ο |
Assume that they each buy 3 Smart Saver products in a month. |
| ο |
Each of the CO members who buy 3 items will earn around 6 SDVs in that
month. Together with the 3 SDVs that they get as Smart Saver, they will have about 9 SDVs in the first month. |
| ο |
Each of the above CO members who have 9 SDVs will save a further RM18
on their next month's purchase of products that are already priced low. There is a "double" saving element here. |
| ο |
In this scenario, the CO will have 300 Smart Points passed up to the CO. |
| ο |
This would be equal to RM1,800 earnings for the CO that month. |
SCENARIO 3 – CO GETS 200 MEMBERS & SUPPORTERS TO SIGN AS SMART SAVER
| ο |
Assume 200 CO members sign up as Smart Saver with NewLife™. |
| ο |
Assume that they each buy 3 Smart Saver products in a month. |
| ο |
Each of the CO members who buy 3 items will earn around 6 SDVs in that
month. Together with the 3 SDVs that they get as Smart Saver, they will have about 9 SDVs in the first month. |
| ο |
Each of the above CO members who have 9 SDVs will save a further RM18 on
their next month's purchase of products that are already priced low. There is a "double" saving element here. |
| ο |
In this scenario, the CO will have 600 Smart Points passed up to the CO. |
| ο |
This would be equal to RM3,600 earnings for the CO that month. |
SCENARIO 4 – CO GETS 400 MEMBERS & SUPPORTERS TO SIGN AS SMART SAVER
| ο |
Assume 400 CO members sign up as Smart Saver with NewLife™. |
| ο |
Assume that they each buy 3 Smart Saver products in a month. |
| ο |
Each of the CO members who buy 3 items will earn around 6 SDVs in that
month. Together with the 3 SDVs that they get as Smart Saver, they will have about 9 SDVs in the first month. |
| ο |
Each of the above CO members who have 9 SDVs will save a further RM18
on their next month's purchase of products that are already priced low. There is a "double" saving element here. |
| ο |
In this scenario, the CO will have 1,200 Smart Points passed up to the CO. |
| ο |
This would be equal to RM7,200 earnings for the CO that month. |
A POWERFUL COMPELLING PERSUASION TO SAVE
The NewLife™ Smart Saver Programme is a powerful avenue for Charity Organisations, Service Organisations, Cooperatives and NGOs to raise funds for their activities. There is little pressure on their members and their supporters as only RM10/S$5 is required as the fee. The rest is really up to the individual who has signed up as a Smart Saver to decide on whether they will buy or not. With the Savings that is represented in this Programme and with the SDVs that will lead to further savings, there is no reason for the Smart Saver NOT to buy on the Programme. Each purchase will raise good funds for the Charity Organisation. This is a truly unique and revolutionised way to modern fund raising.
