Ways to use your contactless donation device to maximise donations during the festive season

The festive season is a time when generosity really shines. People are in the giving spirit, whether it’s for charities close to their hearts, local community causes or during visits to places of worship. Donations naturally increase around this time of year, making it the perfect opportunity to maximise your fundraising efforts.

One of the easiest ways to capture this festive generosity is with a contactless donation device. Quick, safe, and convenient, it lets supporters give with a simple tap – ideal now that so few people carry cash. 

Here’s how you can use it to its full potential on the run-up to the Christmas season.

Festive Events

Depending on your setting, make the most of:

• Christmas Markets & Fairs: Place your device front and centre at your stall. Supporters can donate instantly as they browse.
• Charity Gift-Wrapping Stations: People love having their presents wrapped -combine that with a donation option.
• Festive Services and & performances: From school concerts, local theatre productions and church carol services, a contactless device makes it simple for audiences to give on the spot.

Last-Minute Generosity

A portable contactless device will ensure you can capture:

• Impulse Donations: Position devices near exits or high-traffic areas. Many people decide to give in the moment, and a tap-to-donate option makes it easy.
• Giving at Pop-Up Locations: Cafés, shops, and community centres can benefit from temporary stalls and donation points to maximise giving.
  

Engage Corporate & Workplace Support

Take advantage of:

• Office Parties & Staff Events: Set up a device at festive gatherings. Quick donations make it easy for employees to support causes they care about.
• Generosity of local businesses: Encourage local corporate businesses to display your device for the festive period within their offices or festive events.

Community and Grassroots Fundraising

Boost donations by taking advantage of:

• Street Collections: Tap into the extra footfall on the streets with a contactless device, which is convenient, safe, and most of all offers the speed that a busy shopper needs. 
• Local Clubs and Groups: From sports teams, hobby clubs and community groups, having a contactless device present ensures supporters can donate during their festive events.
  

With November and December being the most opportune time of the year for giving, it’s important to capitalise on this and offer as many chances for supporters to give as possible. Contactless donation devices are the simplest, most convenient, and fastest way to collect donations.
