Planning Your Next Fundraiser

There’s a reason the Girl Scouts sell their famous cookies year after year, it works! People love them, which makes it a perfect fundraising vehicle. Following are tips for planning a perfect yearly fundraiser.

Select Your Supplier or Vendor

Not all suppliers are created equal, so choose a supplier that best fits your organization. Some suppliers offer fundraiser items to support your sales, while others don’t offer that. Some may have a variety of flavors or even have banners for their fundraiser packages.

Location, Location, Location

Although your organization members can sell door-to-door for your fundraiser, sometimes a booth sale works even better. Choose a location with a lot of traffic. In addition, be sure to have a sign to let people know which organization they’re supporting by buying your item(s). Possible locations include the outside of large discount retailers or at local festivals.

If Possible Offer Samples

Sampling is a tried-and-true method of sales, especially when it comes to a tasty product! Have small samples for people to try. Make sure to greet each passerby and offer them a free sample. Once they taste how good your product is, they will want to buy some.  Please check with local laws to make sure this is OK to do.

Give Incentives

Although many of your members will sell items to help the group, you can motivate them further by offering incentives. Incentives can include small prizes for reaching certain levels or make it competitive by offering a larger prize for the top seller. Talk to local merchants to see if they could donate gift cards or items to reward your top sellers.
