FundScrip announces PetSmart as new participating retailer
Montreal, QC, Nov. 11, 2011 – FundScrip (powered by Fundstream Inc.) has announced today that PetSmart, a leading retailer for services and solutions for pets, has joined the FundScrip roster of participating gift card retailers. The rebate for PetSmart gift cards will launch with an introductory rebate of 3%.
Fundstream President & CEO, Christopher Hill said, “PetSmart is a great addition to our program, since it is the pet-world’s equivalent of a combined grocery and department store: both of which perform extremely well with our program, since they offer consumables like pet food.”
The FundScrip program allows not-for-profit organizations, cultural groups, schools and sports teams the opportunity to raise money by purchasing gift cards at face value from leading retailers and receiving a percentage rebate on every purchase that is transferred back to the group.
The most successful members of the FundScrip program typically purchase all of their necessities via gift cards instead of using cash, debit or credit; thus contributing to their group fund on a continuous basis. PetSmart falls into the same category of necessities which makes this an attractive retailer for supporters of groups that participate in the FundScrip program.
FundScrip is the first fundraising program to offer PetSmart gift cards in Canada.
