Editor's Note
Well, school is really underway now. I've enrolled my daughters back in school and am now attending all of the parents meetings and band parents booster fundraising. Our band concession stand at the game the other night raised $2,000 just from selling "big pizza" slices from Dominoes for $2.00 each. They only had pepperoni and cheese available, but they sold 1,000 slices.
Pepsi supplied the band with 16 oz bottled drinks of various types. They ran out of bottled water ($1.50 each), because they only had 600 bottles. Imagine that. So it was a successful fundraising night.
I've chosen two Fall fundraising products that are time sensitive so I thought I would send these out immediately.
If you are not necessarily a school oriented group or youth oriented organization, you can still utilize these programs effectively if you twist your marketing plan a little.
I'll get you some more free fundraising ideas in the next issue. And don't forget, all groups can still get your FREE Affinity Website that will generate funds for you month after month. Check it out.
Here is a very colorful fundraiser that I found and am very excited about it. It's great for schools, sports teams, clubs, and even businesses that sport their own colors. Oh, and oddly enough many weddings are using these as well.
Imagine getting America's favorite candy in your favorite colors and making a profit from it.
There are many ways to raise funds with this program.
1. Sell outright in small packages for 50 cents.
2. Spend a little to get some candy vending machines and make money all year long. You can get these vending machines at Sam's Club wholesalers between $40 and $80. The payback is very quick. Go through a whole batch fill and you'll easily make $150. Do this again and again and it's pure profit.
3. Sell to businesses that support your school or sports team. Don't just sell them an ad in your newspaper or foodball schedule. Ask them to choose their corporate colors and then you sell them at area ball games or the like. They pay for the candy, you make an announcement about their support (very unique I might add), put an add in your program magazine (if you like) and then all sales are pure profit to you.
These are just a few of the many ways to generate some astounding interest for your group and to magnify your fund raising profits.
How would you like to get 50% profits from selling the most beautiful flowers that you've ever seen? I love flowers in my garden and I'm not alone. Sell flowering bulbs this fall.
Your prospects will range from every homeowner in the area of your nonprofit group to every business with a landscaped entry. Every parent or member will want to help you by helping themselves with these beautiful home and garden enhancers.
