Child ID cards are
important because a child is reported missing every 50 seconds in the United
States. When a child is missing it can be very challenging for a
frantic parent to answer a long list of questions about their child’s physical
appearance. In this situation, the first thing they need is an accurate and
immediate description of their child versus relying on memory. A child ID card
would contain their picture and essential information. In addition to the obvious
benefits of readily available information for authorities in an emergency, these
child ID cards ultimately become cherished keepsakes for family members
chronicling the progression of a child’s growth as they grow and change during
their precious early years.
If you are an organization considering the implementation of a Child ID program, you will not only be providing a valuable service for your parents, but the card can be
custom designed to include your logo. This will extend your Marketing presence within your local community as parents and caregivers carry and show off their Child ID cards. As an organization, you can decide to make the Child ID program an additional revenue source or fundraising program. It can be a continuous source of revenue because it is
recommended that every family member, care-giver or institution that cares for
or supervises the child carry a current copy of the child ID card. To continue to be effective, the child ID card should be updated at a
frequency determined by the child’s age and rate of physical change. Here are
some guidelines: Below 1 year = monthly; 1-10 years = quarterly; 10-15 years =
semi-annually. So as you can see, with the multiple cards and growth updates,
this can become a low maintenance revenue generator and valuable service for your organization.
The Child ID program can be fully implemented using the net. Parents can upload their
child's information and pictures themselves and we can cut a check to your fundraising organization.
Your organization will be responsible for introducing the
service to your parents and sending a reminder e-mail. If you prefer, i-tag can send out the e-mails for you to streamline and make the process as simple as possible. Please contact us and let us know how we can help.
