When purchased with a Countertop Stand, DPT becomes a self-service fundraising device that takes up very little space, ideally located near a point of purchase. Your network of businesses that support your charity can help you collect donations with virtually no disruption to their business.

If your retailer/network is passionate about your cause, you will likely have greater success as their staff will be willing to help promote the prospect of making a donation.

Being small and portable allows DPT to be strategically located in high traffic areas, maximising visibility and donations. Locations like restaurants, shops, cafes, supermarkets, petrol stations, or other charity partners are great locations for your DPT.

With the DPT Floor Stand accessory, you can also collect donations beside a counter to give it more separation and visibility from cluttered areas.

With its built-in Li-Ion battery and both Wi-Fi and cellular network coverage, DPT can be used almost anywhere there is internet coverage.

Even if you use your DPT with a Countertop or Floor Stand, you can remove the DPT from its usual location for once-off or regular fundraising events. When your event is over, simply return the DPT to its fixed location!

With the self-serve nature of the DPT, it lends itself to being able to take donations at any time. Therefore, placing it in locations like restaurants, petrol stations, or supermarkets allow you to be collecting donations outside of your normal collection hours. It’s always recommended to seek out locations with long trading hours and high foot traffic.

Track your donations in real-time through the easy-to-use online portal where you can monitor the effectiveness of your DPT. If donations are low, simply move the DPT to a more suitable location.

As well as promoting the opportunity to donate, take the opportunity to raise awareness of your cause, campaign message or website with a promotional banner integrated into the Countertop and Floor Stand acessories. For effective results, your message should be clear and concise to show your prospective donors how their donation will be used.

DPT can be configured to display either a single or four preset donation amounts of your choosing. In addition, you can enable donors to select a custom amount up to $99.00. The easy-to-use online portal allows pre-set donation amounts to be managed, as well as for viewing reports. Reports help you determine the best location, best preset amounts, and to make sure you are making the most of your fundraising.

If you are placing a DPT with a retailer with a low average transaction value, then you should keep at least one donation amount low, as it should be relative to the transaction value. Alternatively, if the retail outlet has high value products, then perhaps consider raising the donation amounts accordingly. The system is very flexible, so experiment to see what works.
