The Jags Trust has enrolled as a Community Fundraiser with the Utility Warehouse Discount Club, who are owned by Telecom Plus, a FTSE 250 business who supply all utilities to domestic and business customers at discounted rates. We have a dedicated website which explains the system in more detail, but the principle is that by switching your gas, electricity, landline, broadband or mobile (or ideally all of them) to Utility Warehouse, the Jags Trust will receive a monthly commission, based on the value of your bills, forever, so long as you stay with UW.
The commission is typically around £4 per customer per month, so the benefits for the Trust are obvious - with only a small number of customers we could cover all of our day to day running costs of mailing, printing and meeting room hire through this alone, leaving us to run fundraising events that will generate clear profit.
Whilst the Jags Trust are now in partnership with UW as introducers, anyone considering this needs to do their own research and make sure that switching from another provider is the correct thing for them to do.
UW is a multi level marketing organisation with 300,000 customers at present and it does not advertise but relies on local agents to develop business on its behalf by word of mouth and referral. The JT are now effectively one of those local agents although the commission is slightly smaller for us than it would be for an individual agent.
We have heard that one of the Old Firm are close to signing up as agents and have a database of well over 150,000 targets so we are keen to get this going. If we introduce another agent, for example another fans trust, we also get a fee for that as well as a small residual commission.
Anyone with any queries can call the support phone number 0800 131 3000 quoting our reference number which is E33962.
The local executive director of UW, Stewart Paterson, is also happy to handle enquiries on 0800 298 2090.
