This presentation will show Rotarians around the world how easy it is to do business with other Rotarians and give money back to their Clubs, District, Zone and Rotary International.

1. RotariansConnectD5300.com
The global online marketing place for Rotarians to
conduct business with other Rotarians

2. Growing Business Connections
Discovering New Opportuinties

3. Building Global Relationships

4. What is RotariansConnectD5300.com?
It is a global online marketing place for Rotarians
to conduct business with other Rotarians
• The intent is to encourage Rotarians to do business
with each other and yet remain outside the scope of
the clubs
• Bring additional fundraising opportunities
• Built as a simple “Craigslist” style
exchange, Rotarians can post items or services for
sale and also post items that are being sought or
wanted, plus 1 identity profile page

5. Why is it Called
RotariansConnectD5300.com?
RotariansConnectD5300.com started as a web site a few
years ago called RotariansConnect.com. Rotary.org
contacted this site June 2, 2013, and explained because of
trademark rules, we had to add D5300 to the name of the
web site to be within compliance of their rules.
“The addition of D5300 will meet the RI Board of
Directors policies regarding the use of the Rotary marks.
On behalf of RI, our appreciation goes to you and the
leadership of D5300 for your cooperation and making
these changes. Best Rotary Regards, Jim
Damato, Supervisor Club and District Support, The
Americas Rotary International Evanston, Illinois" June

6. Why is it Important to Me?
• Fundraising
• New members
• Working with other Rotarians
• Allows me to buy and sell goods and services
with other Rotarians worldwide
• Why is this important to my Club?
• Why is this important to my District?

7. Fundraising
• When a club buys a 1 year package they
immediately receive a $25 compensation.
• Any club member who buys a 1 year package the
registered club will receive $25 compensation
PLUS $5 bonus because one of their club
members purchased.
• If a Rotarian outside the registered club buys a
package from the club they receive $25.
• Renewal revenues are the same for following
years

8. New Members
• Creates business value for companies
sponsoring members to attend and be
involved in Rotary
• Successful Members are more inclined to give
to a greater extent and participate in Rotary
• Rotarians engage outside of the club building
bonds and extending relationships

9. Working With Other Rotarians
• Doing business with Rotarians drastically
increases the odds of a successful transaction
• The common bonds of the 4-way test brings a
confidence and fellowship when entering into
a business transaction in Rotarian to Rotarian
transactions
• Not all Rotarians are perfect, however we
prefer the odds when dealing with Rotarians

10. Buy and Sell Worldwide
• Even though you may not travel
worldwide, we live in a global economy
• Rotarians worldwide are looking to source
goods and services
• Whether you are a business
owner, employee, or retired, Rotarians
Connect give you the advantage of reaching
worldwide Rotarian buyers to sell inventory
and surplus items

11. Why is this important to my Club?
• When a club buys an advertising package, it
creates an avenue for the club to receive free
money anytime a Rotarian purchases an
advertising package using their club id number
• Each year when the package is renewed, the
club will enjoy the same renewal income like
the first year.

12. Why is this important to my District?
• For those clubs that for whatever reason may not
participate, the District can sell an advertising package
to a Rotarian and they receive free money.
• The District receives $25 plus $5 if the Rotarian is a
member within their District.
• The District receives $25 if Rotarian is a member
outside their District.
• Review “ Complete Distribution of $99.95 Fee” in the
back part of this presentation for full details.
