Begging Doesn’t Work!

Just being nice and asking for donations for your school’s group isn’t very effective.  People who are new to fundraising find that out very fast.  You start out full of enthusiasm.  You know how great your program is and how much the children benefit from it. You sure if you just tell people of your need they will be glad for the opportunity to help and donate a fair amount.

Well, you soon find that reality is very different.  Most who do promise never seem to get around to making that promised donation.

This seems to be related to a story about a Judge that was elected to the bench in a small town.  During a get together following the election he was asked to comment on the light voter turn out.  His comments went something like this, “ I would like to thank the 427 people who promised to vote for me as well as the 310 people who claimed they did vote for me.  But especially I want to thanks the 47 people who actually did cast a vote and of course I can’t forget to mention the 24 who did vote for me.”

Many people make promises to donate but much fewer actually do it. Things come up, people forget and there are many pressures on family budgets these days.

Also the “what’s in it for me” attitude can be part of the problem as well.  That is why the Sunset Coupon program works so well.  The offer you make to the buyer is very simple “a trade.”  They are giving you $10 dollars and besides feeling good for helping your group out they get $400 dollars in value for food and entertainment they will really use.

It doesn’t take long for your group to raise the funds you need this year.  People are always looking for a bargain.  Let Sunset Coupons turn begging into a bargains.

If, on the other hand you are looking for a high dollar return, simple and easy fundraiser call Sunset Coupons at 800-627-6340 and see how we can help your group reach its goals, time after time and year after year.
