Free Local Advertising. Real Foot Traffic. Zero Risk.
Offer a discount. Student-athletes put your business in front of hundreds of local families. No ad fees, no contracts — supporters come to you, discount in hand, ready to spend. Community goodwill and real revenue.
Four Simple Steps.
Full Year of Exposure.
From the moment you reply with your offer, we handle every detail. You just welcome the customers who walk in.
You Choose Your Offer
Pick a discount that makes sense for your business — $5 off, 15%, BOGO, free appetizer. You're in control.
We Feature Your Business
Your logo and offer are printed on Gold Cards & Tickets, and loaded into the GoldDeals+ app — at no cost.
Athletes Sell to Supporters
Student-athletes sell cards & tickets to friends, family, and neighbors — driving hundreds of local impressions for your brand.
Customers Redeem In Person
Supporters bring the card or show their phone at your counter. New foot traffic all year long.
Two Products.
Same Simple Idea.
Teams choose the fundraising product that fits their season and price point. Your offer can appear on one — or both — and we'll align the validity windows so your exposure is continuous.
Multi-Use Discount Card
- How it works: Supporters can redeem your offer every day, up to 365 times in a year.
- Redemption: Show the physical card or the GoldDeals+ app at checkout.
- Best for: Businesses wanting repeat visits — restaurants, cafés, quick-service, fitness.
- Typical offer value: "$5 off $25+", "15% off", "BOGO", "Free item w/ purchase".
Single-Use Coupon Book
- How it works: Four single-use, tear-away coupons per participating business.
- Redemption: Hand in the physical coupon or show the GoldDeals+ app at checkout.
- Best for: Higher-value one-time offers that bring in first-time customers.
- Typical offer value: $5 or more per coupon — "BOGO Free", "Free appetizer", "$5 off $25+".
Real Tickets.
Real Brands. Real Programs.
Here's a handful of actual Gold Tickets already printed for local teams this season. Notice who's on them — national chains and beloved local spots, side by side.
Be on the next one.
Exposure That Pays For Itself
Most advertising costs money up front with no guarantee anyone shows up. The Gold Card flips that model on its head.
$0 Upfront. $0 Ever.
No advertising fee, no monthly cost, no setup charge. You commit the discount you chose — and you only honor it when a real customer walks in, ready to spend with you.
Real Local Traffic
These aren't anonymous bargain-hunters. They're families, neighbors, and super-fans who bought a card to support a school near you — and they remember who showed up for them.
A Full Year Per Product.
Then It Renews.
Each offer runs for a full year on the specific product it appears on. Because our goal is long-term partnerships, your listing automatically carries into next year's cards unless you opt out — no re-enrollment paperwork.
Physical + Digital Reach
Your offer is redeemable two ways: the physical Gold Card/Ticket supporters carry, and the GoldDeals+ mobile app. Double the touchpoints, double the visits.
Community Goodwill
Supporting student-athletes earns you something you can't buy: a reputation as a business that shows up for the local community. That's word-of-mouth gold.
You Set the Terms
$5 off $25. 15% off. BOGO. Free appetizer. A signature item at a special price. Whatever protects your margins and drives the behavior you want. It's your offer, your rules.
Two Ways Supporters
Redeem Your Offer
Every merchant gets exposure through both channels — the printed Card or Ticket supporters hand to athletes, and the GoldDeals+ app they carry in their pocket all year.
-
The Gold Card / Ticket Physical cards and tear-away tickets sold by student-athletes. Supporters hand them to you at checkout.
-
The GoldDeals+ App Supporters find your business in the app, tap "Redeem Now," and show you the screen. A 5-minute timer ensures in-person redemption only.
-
No Hardware. No Training. If you can ring up a sale, you can redeem a Gold Card or Ticket offer. That's it.
How Supporters Redeem
In Four Taps
Here's what a supporter sees when they find your business and redeem in-store. No account setup headaches on your end — you just verify the screen.
The Offer Is Yours To Choose
Here are the discount structures merchants in our network use most. Pick what works for your margins — or come up with something original.
