For decades, Beaver Coach has served Central Oregon with top-quality RVs and consistent support for the nonprofit community. Beaver was looking to reduce costs to help increase nonprofit donations. PIE virtually eliminated its six-figure payment-processing expense to enhance community support, brand and company culture.
PIE performed a no-obligation review of Beaver’s payment-processing expenses and proposed several options to reduce costs and increase donations. Beaver chose to implement a dual-pricing program with a PIN-debit acceptance option to maximize savings and optimize donations. PIE helped with implementation, messaging and strategy, and gave an all-hands presentation to launch the program.
Beaver can now redirect over $100,000 to nonprofits or growth capital, and PIE makes a $5,000+ annual donation to its chosen nonprofit. The program has not created negative reviews, customers can use debit, cash or check, and those who pay by card feel better knowing a portion goes to good causes. Beaver also added nearly $1,000 in new donations by procuring internet and phone services through PIE.
“Our payment-processing expense has been growing out of control for years. I’d always been afraid to pass those fees on to my customers.”
