In a world where smartphones dominate, there's something refreshing about simplicity. Tone Down Tech offers a thoughtful alternative-feature phones that keep children connected without the endless distractions of modern smartphones. When you fundraise with Tone Down Tech, you're not just selling phones. You're helping families find balance, promoting healthier technology habits, and giving children their first phone experience without the complications that come with internet access.

These aren't just phones-they're tools for mindful connection. The AGM M6, their flagship model, represents a return to basics: make calls, send texts, listen to FM radio, and use a powerful torch. No internet, no social media, no endless scrolling. Just communication when it matters, and peace of mind for parents who want their children to stay connected without being constantly connected.

Why Simple Phones Create Meaningful Fundraising

  • Addresses Real Concerns: Parents everywhere worry about screen time, social media exposure, and digital distractions. These phones offer a solution that resonates deeply with families seeking balance.
  • Perfect First Phone: Ideal for children aged 9 and above who need a phone for safety and communication, but aren't ready for the full smartphone experience. This timing creates natural demand.
  • Rugged and Reliable: Built to withstand the realities of children's lives-drop-proof, waterproof, and designed to last. Parents appreciate durability that matches their children's active lifestyles.
  • Practical Features: FM radio and powerful torch add genuine utility beyond just calling and texting. These features make the phones genuinely useful, not just minimalist.
  • Unique Offering: As the exclusive New Zealand and Australia distributor, you're offering something genuinely different from typical fundraising products.

What will these funds achieve? Be specific: school technology upgrades, sports equipment, community projects, or educational resources. Clear goals motivate supporters and help them understand why this fundraiser matters.

3. Understand Your Audience

These phones appeal to parents who want their children to have phones for safety and communication, but aren't ready for smartphones. Position this as a thoughtful choice for families seeking balance in the digital age.

4. Launch with Clarity

Promote through school newsletters, parent groups, social media, and community channels. Highlight the benefits: safety and communication without digital distractions, perfect for first phones, rugged and reliable. Emphasise how this addresses real concerns parents have about technology.

5. Make Ordering Straightforward

Set up clear systems for collecting orders and payments. Accept cash, bank transfers, and cheques. Keep detailed records of all orders to ensure smooth processing when you submit your final order.

6. Build Understanding

Share information about healthy technology habits and the benefits of starting simple. Consider sharing resources about digital wellness to add value beyond just the product.

7. Finalise Efficiently

Once orders are complete, submit your final order to Tone Down Tech. They'll prepare the phones for delivery, ensuring everything is ready for distribution to your supporters.

8. Distribute with Support

When phones arrive, organise a collection day or arrange deliveries. Have volunteers ready to help. Consider providing basic setup assistance or information about how to use the phones' features.

Pro Tips for Maximum Success

  • Emphasise the Benefits: Focus on safety, communication, and peace of mind rather than what the phones don't have. Frame it as a positive choice, not a limitation.
  • Target the Right Audience: These phones are perfect for parents of children aged 9-14 who are considering their child's first phone. Target your messaging accordingly.
  • Share Real Stories: If possible, share testimonials from families who've found these phones helpful. Real experiences create trust and drive sales.
  • Highlight Durability: Emphasise the drop-proof and waterproof features. Parents appreciate products built for real-world use by children.
  • Create Urgency: Set clear order deadlines and remind supporters regularly. Limited-time opportunities create action and prevent procrastination.
  • Position as Thoughtful: Frame this as a thoughtful, intentional choice for families who want balance. It's not about rejecting technology-it's about choosing the right technology.

Why Simple Phone Fundraisers Work

Simple phone fundraisers succeed because they address genuine concerns that many families share. Your supporters aren't just purchasing a product-they're investing in a solution that helps them navigate the challenges of raising children in a digital world. The unique positioning, practical benefits, and alignment with family values create a compelling proposition that makes selling easier.

The exclusive nature of the product also creates interest and differentiation from typical fundraising options. It's fundraising that feels meaningful, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful for families.
