About Us
The original idea of the talking chip clip was conceived as a product for retail as well as corporate giveaways, and gave birth to Record-O-Clip and EmpoweredSWAG. During the discovery stages of exploring those marketing and sales channels, it became apparent that this product held enormous potential as a fundraising item, and the Spirit Clip was born. With continued funding cuts, organizations really need high-profit fundraisers like the Spirit Clip to assure viability for their clubs and activities.
With the goal of increasing your fundraising power, a business model was created to sell direct to the organizations, straight from the manufacturer to you, with no middlemen. This keeps the majority of the profits going to the groups that need it most, YOURS! School Spirit Fundraisers originated with a mission of offering high profit fundraisers by streamlining the supply chain, minimizing corporate overhead, and incorporating current technology to keep costs low.
School Spirit Fundraisers' business model has been built to be as automated as possible. You buy direct, you leverage technology to make it happen, and you remove a lot of the administrative obstacles and costs that a typical brick and mortar organization would otherwise subsidize. The end result is a fundraiser that is more profitable for you.
Today, this site is more informative than functional. However, in the near future, the vision of School Spirit Fundraisers is to make the experience of selecting and configuring your product, monitoring your goals, sourcing your marketing materials and tools, producing all your reporting needs, AND raising a lot of money, as automated and easy as possible.

My Stimulus Package
Times are tough for many of us, I know, I am one of them. However, getting laid off last year may turn out to be the best thing that has ever happened to me, really! I had the idea for this talking clip, and with a lot of newly found "free time", I decided to plunge headlong into creating something from nothing. Part therapy, part necessity, the act of creating a new product was exciting and allowed me to feel good about myself.
Fast forward a year and a half, mix in a lot of ups and downs, and here we are. Record-O-Clip is being featured in Family Circle Magazine in their Nov 1st issue and School Spirit Fundraisers is in its infancy. Why fundraisers you might ask? Truthfully, my initial draw to the space was self serving, to generate sales. However, after attending Booster Club meetings and hearing about all the budget challenges that activities were facing, I became inspired to try to make a difference and offer a product that has no calories and speaks volumes, literally, about school spirit.
My goals for 2010 are to deliver 50,000 pieces and contribute toward raising nearly $150,000 for organizations and activities like yours. In 2011, I hope to introduce additional product lines and continue to deliver high profit fundraisers.
