It's a mystery to so many charities - why do so few businesses approach them? Charities, large and small, are sophisticated, modern organisations needing everything your existing customers already rely on you for.

They have printers and computers - they need consumables and hardware. They have to file to the Charity Commission every year - they need accountants. They want to get their message across in the most effective way - they need to hire staff, write advertisements.

Charities are run by committed, intelligent people needing your help. The UK Charity Disc is the perfect way to get to them.

You're focused and aggressive getting new business from everyone else - how much money are you missing out on not marketing effectively to charities? Don't let your competitors have this massive market all to themselves!
There are very few businesses which wouldn't get extreme value from the UK Charity Disc. For the vast majority of businesses though, the UK Charity Disc is your access to an Aladdin's Cave of new opportunities from a sector very keen to save money.

Just how are some UK Charity Disc customers successfully using this market-leading product?

• One London accountancy firm has successfully marketed to charities offering cheaper PAYE services for staff. A great, prestigious new customer for them and thousands of pounds saved for the charity.

• A Reading telecoms company has changed the telephone systems of a handful of charities over to the new VoiP service. This will save the charities a combined total of £20,000+ over the next 3 years.

• An independent local hotel chain in Scotland has used the UK Charity Disc to offer its function rooms at reduced rates on certain days. The offer was very well received.

• A promotional goods and workwear supplier in Manchester has started an email newsletter to medium sized charities offering personalised balloons, raffle books and polo shirts. One of the most successful aspects of the campaign has been the number of charities buying personalised polo shirts at a reduced rate and offering them to members for fundraising.

• A reconditioned laptop supplier in Manchester has been offering discounted laptops to the charities contained on the disc. Their aim is to make a small profit on the first sale to establish an ongoing relationship with these well-funded organisations

• A Birmingham travel agent has made a lot of progress with a number of targeted charities thanks to the email data on the disc. Offering group holidays for children at good rates to scout and guide groups (over 8,000 on the disc) was their target.

• A well-known North East car dealership has been marketing Motability vehicles to charities and also encouraging them to pass the offers on to their members and beneficiaries.

• A few employment agencies and dedicated fund-raising firms have used the UK Charity Disc to offer the services of experienced and successful fundraisers, as well as other positions.

• The disc has been particularly popular with printers which use the comprehensive mailing list data to send off offers and samples to those all-important (and NAMED) charity contacts.

• One NW-based security company has found an eager and willing market for its CCTV and video monitoring systems within homeless shelters and women's refuges. Security of staff and residents has always been the number one priority. They now have more peace-of-mind and our customers has some prestigious clients.

• A London-based health-and-safety company promotes their valuable services direct to the named buyers on the UK Charity Disc - particularly shelters, scout/guide groups and those charities employing vulnerable staff.

Whether you sell goods or services, the chances are that charities need what you offer and are not getting the best possible deal. Go in, get prestigious brand new clients and make money!
Selling to charities is a lot easier than many people think. When we think of charities, we imagine them as massive bureaucracies where it would take months to even see the decision maker. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Most charities are small - if you sell to small-to-medium businesses at the moment, you'll take to this like a duck to water. The decision makers are easily reachable (more so than with businesses who have secretaries to block calls) and are always on the look-out for a deal to bring their costs down.

Charities need so much more than the things you'd think of first - it's more than sticky lapel badges and personalised collection tins. There's everything from accounting to payroll services, security to insurance - just about everything a normal business would need..

Whether your product or service cost £10, £1,000, £10,000 or £100,000, you can get direct to the charities which NEED you quickly, cheaply and successfully with the UK Charity Disc. Charities want businesses to get in touch with them - they want to reduce their costs as much as they can to pass more onto their cause. Can you help them do that?

Charities are full of fun and friendly people who believe passionately in their cause. The UK Charity Disc is the perfect way to reach out and talk to them.

The UK Charity Disc is the ultimate method of identifying and targeting charities to sell the products and services they need.

It is jam-packed with features with up to four ways to approach each charity on the database. With over 180,000+ named and contactable educational establishments, the UK Education Disc has no equals..

Every single one of the 180,000+ charities on the disc has full postal details.

The UK Charity Disc cleverly allows you to mail-merge your letter and print off labels (with appropriate software, like Microsoft Word), meaning you can cut down the time it takes to do a mailshot.

You can also build up calling lists. Want to get to know the people at particular charities personally? The UK Charity Disc can put together telesales lists for you and your team to follow, and it can all be done in a matter of minutes.

You can get the disc to compile lists of fax numbers so you can send off your message quickly and cheaply over your own PC and phone line. Fax is an effective and cheap method of getting in touch with new customers, and you can do this with UK Charity Disc (with appropriate software, like WinFax).

Also, for the very first time on any charity directory anywhere in the UK, over 58,000 email addresses. Email marketing grows apace, and like with any other form of marketing, the more relevant you make it, the better response it gets. Email marketing incurs no extra cost to your business as it can be done over your current dial-up or broadband connection, and you can get responses straight away.

The UK Charity Disc puts you in charge, and puts you in front of the establishments you need to be in front of.
The UK Charity Disc is designed for everyone - no matter what their ability with computers.

If you feel technically confident, the database is provided in 3 formats - Excel, Access and comma-separated value (.csv) files. With those, you can load the data into any contact or customer management software you have now.

For our customers who are not as technically able, we provide you with an easy-to-use search program. With that, you can build any type of list you want for any type of marketing activity - it rarely takes more than 5 minutes.

Both are provided on the UK Charity Disc. If you do need help, we provide an unlimited support service on a freephone number. Just call it and speak with one of our trained technical staff. We have never charged for support and never will!
