All That’s Gold

Extra funds for holiday parties, roasted turkey dinners, and gifts for our favorite folks — all excellent motivations to host a gold party, especially this time of the year.

But sometimes, we need the extra money for reasons that don’t revolve around decked halls and warm fuzzies. Sometimes, we need the money to help out loved ones in need. A gold party turned fundraiser can be a tremendous step forward toward that goal.

Emotionally, times of personal crisis are hard enough to face. But often, illness, loss, and death also includes financial chaos, insufficient funds, and debt. When a loved one passes, flowers make a wonderful gift to comfort surviving family and friends. But often, the gift of money is much more welcome as it goes to buy food, pay unexpected bills, and provide for what can be an uncertain future. But how can we help out financially when the better portion of us are struggling, too? That’s where a gold fundraiser can be a sensible solution.

Gold fundraisers are smart, simple, and appealing. People appreciate the chance to lend a hand and if they can do so in a way that is friendly and easy (while making a little money of their own), they will come and bring their friends, too.

Guests don’t donate their gold, but rather, a portion of what we buy from them goes to your fundraiser. Pay-out donation is never an obligation. This alone appeals to people because they can raise some funds of their own while helping  you out in the process. But happily, what we often find is that the fundraiser patrons will ask us to write their pay-out checks over to the person, church, or organization raising the funds. It warms our hearts every time. At one special church event, for instance, ALL guests asked that their checks be written over to the church. It was a touching moment when we handed the main check to the church, but quickly followed that up with a wad of checks courtesy of their devoted members.

Again, there is no obligation and out of respect, we do not nudge people to donate their earnings or put sellers in an awkward spot. Donations come directly from the willingness of the guests. If sellers want to help out a little bit more, but are not in a position to donate all of their gold earnings, they may wish to donate a portion and in that case, two checks may be written: One to your guest and one to your fundraiser. Otherwise, just the act of selling their gold at your fundraiser helps and as well all know, ever dime, nickel, and penny counts.

Gold fundraisers don’t have to be “parties” at all, especially when your event is for a somber cause. When you work with a professional company such as Gold Party US, you may explain your sensitive circumstances and request a low-key experience for your guests. Gold Party US knows that when it comes to fundraising events, just like gold rings, one size does not fit all. 

If you know someone (or if you are someone) faced with raising funds to support such needs as a costly medical procedure, to save a family from losing their home, or to help out with all the financial strains of a personal loss, please consider the merits of a gold fundraiser.

There’s a new bill floating around the Michigan House of Representatives that Gold Party US is very excited about:

2009 House Bill 5448 (Impose “gold party” licensure mandate ) would impose “gem and (precious) metal dealer” licensure mandates on a business or individual who holds an invitation-only “gold party” selling jewelry in a residence.

This would mean that everyone that touches your gold would have to be a representative of a company that is licensed to do so. Not only would it make it easier for gold sellers to breathe easier, but it makes gold buyers happy by ensuring that non-licensed fly-by-night companies cannot come in and scam residents, giving gold parties a bad name.

Hopefully other states that do not already have these mandates will take notice and follow suit. It’s hard enough to be sure you’re getting a good deal at your gold party, at least now you’ll know who you can trust.

Thankfully Gold Party US is fully licensed to deal in precious metals, as well as being insured and bonded. To host a safe and easy gold party in your home, call us at 810.329.6866 or toll free at 877.329.6866.

Now begins that wonderful time of year where parents and organizers scramble to come up with fundraising ideas for their respective charities, teams, organizations, schools, churches, and what-have-you. We’ve all been bombarded with catalogs for wrapping paper, cookies, snacks, pizza kits, flowers, and almost everything under the sun. With the economy in the sink, people are tightening their grips on their purse strings and wallets. Publicly funded organizations are taking a big hit, and it’s showing.

What if there was a fundraising solution that didn’t require anyone to actually buy something? Wait a minute, there is! A Gold Party US Fundraiser is exactly the answer this economy needs for organizations to get some much-needed funding. It’s super easy to set up, expenses are almost nonexistant, and at the end of the night, successful fundraisers can rake in thousands of dollars. How is this possible? We’re glad you asked!

All you need to host a Gold Party US Fundraiser is a location, some tables and chairs, and perhaps a few snacks. Your friendly and professional Gold Party US consultants will do the rest! If you have some funds available, you can always choose a more lavish or themed fundraiser. The only effort you have to put in is invite, invite, invite. The more the merrier at a Gold Party US fundraiser. Tell them to bring their gold, silver, and platinum and one of our expert consultants will evaluate it and make an offer.

One of the best things we’ve found is that people that sell their gold at a Gold Party US Fundraiser often ask for part, or all, of their gold sale money to be given to the organization. It’s a bit of extra selflessness that helps in these hard times. Think about it, on top of the 12% of the party total, your organization will very likely get donations from the sales themselves! There is no way to lose!

If you’d like more information, or you’re ready to book a Gold Party US Fundraiser, call us at 877.329.6866 and we’ll get you started!

Secrecy, fraud, identity theft, misdirection, robbery, lies, cheating……

An underground drug smuggling operation or one of many “companies” offering to buy your gold at the highest price at a gold party?

You might be surprised.

But all is not as bleak on the Gold Party circuit as it sometimes seems. While there is more than a fair share of groups that will lie, cheat, and steal to get you to host one of their famous “Gold Parties”, there are also more than plenty who are honest, fair, and not out to cheat the lay man out of his gold for next to nothing disguised as a great deal.
