Online fundraising service Bmycharity claims that its online sponsorship system 
helps further reduce the costs of recruiting people to fundraise in events for charities.

As well as enabling supporters to sign up to take part in UK and overseas events
to fundraise for their favourite charity, Bmycharity’s system also enables charities
to communicate with new fundraisers through the personal networks of every person

recruitment as well as donating” according to the company.

The site has a subscriber base of over 40,000 and reaches a further 250,000 though
its affiliate networks with running and event magazines.

Ben Brabyn, managing director of Bmycharity, said that “inspirational charities 
are finding that each page on our site can save at least £500 in recruitment costs”.

Bmycharity estimates that the cost to recruit one fundraiser is as much as £500.
Google Analytics statistics show that every Bmycharity page is viewed by on average
45 people and therefore with only a 2% conversion rate each page can reduce recruitment
costs by £500.

“Every page created on Bmycharity is customised for each charity, talking directly
to the high response and lucrative audience that are keen to be inspired by events
and experiences”, added Brabyn.
