It seems these days that nearly every business is trying to use fundraising sales to increase their bottom line. From doughnut shops to pizza places they all seem to have a program to sell you a product that you can resell.
These businesses typically aren’t looking at a program designed to help your organization raise funds. They look at fundraising as an area that allows them to sell more products. Yes, of course, there are many fine business that really take a community fundraiser to heart and are not doing solely as a profit center.
What you have to be careful of is buying product that has a very short shelf life that you need to sell all or most of the product to make a small percentage profit. If you are buying products from a business at little or no discount it makes it very difficult to resell at a profit margin for your organization that really makes you money. If spoilage becomes a problem it is very easy to do all the work and have little to nothing to show for your groups efforts.
The ideal vendor is one who understands and truly supports your fundraising efforts and is set up to have no spoilage and a base of fifty percent profit on each sale. So when your sale or fundraiser is over you know you are keeping a true half share of the money raised.
So your Fundraising vendor check list must start with;
1. No spoilage or possible loss
2. Getting half of the selling price right in your pocket.
3. No up front costs for recognized groups
