If you have a child in school you must be all to aware of the constant need for fundraisers.
Chances are also good that you have had enough of cookie dough, wrapping paper, candy and other fundraisers which force you to purchase items at high prices which you would rather not purchase but you feel obligated to do so because the profits go to support your school.
Learn below 5 ways you can increase the profitability of your school fundraisers with items which you will actually be excited about purchasing.
1.
Explore fundraising opportunities with network marketing or home party companies.
Many of these products are higher quality and at a cheaper price.
Items such as kitchenware, candles, Tupperware and more.
You may also be able to turn a home party with one of these companies into a fundraiser for your school.
2.
Find someone who is selling a product you already use anyway and that you feel many others use and enjoy as well and sell that item as a fundraiser.
If you do not know personally anyone selling that item you can do your research online and find someone who would be happy to help you.
3.
Consider conducting a catalog fundraiser with a direct sales company.
Many of these companies have catalogs and fundraising programs already set up and would be happy to provide you with catalogs.
This makes your fundraiser not only more profitable but easier as well.
4.
Collect information on more than one new product and vote on which one you will complete along with the other parents who will also be selling the product.
5.
Ask whoever you set up a fundraiser with if it is possible to set up a repeat order program where any additional sales generated by the same customers who purchased your fundraising product in the first place would have a portion of the order donated to your school.
Follow these tips and fundraising for your school will be easy and more profitable.
Instead of regretting your fundraising efforts they will be fun and something you can look forward to.
