Now Is A Great Time To Consider Internal Fundraising

If your fundraising group is located in the Valley of the Sun you know how hot it is and how that affects your fundraising efforts.

This is a great time of year to consider internal fundraising. If you are like most groups you have been to this well before and you don’t want to hear the groans and complaints from the (your) faithful.  If you try to just ask for donations you know how that goes. A small portion of your group will respond.

Have considered selling your group something that is af great value, is wanted and will be used? Your first question may just be … sure but where do I find this “magic” item?

 We are going to make some assumptions to go along with this, but feel free to apply this to any other organization.  So, here we go.  You are responsible for raising funds for a large sports team.  The group has more than 200 hundred families involved.

 As part of sign-up day you ask that each family contributes one favorite family recipe and $5.00 as part of a special sign-up donation.  Each family will get a team “cookbook”.  We are going to say that at least 80% follow through.  A couple of volunteers could handle this table easily.

 So what you have is 160 donations of $5.00 and that gives you $800 income.  You put the collection of recipe into a word processor and set up all of the pages for the cookbook.  These pages with a cover picture now go to your local printer and for $300 he does your Team Cookbooks.  The results is that this fundraiser gives your team a special family value and $500 in the clear.  Consider a good old fashion bake sale as an alternative.

 Just as an idea you could raise the same amount by having just 100 Sunset Coupon Books for sale at Sign-up and raise the same amount if only 50% buy a Sunset Coupon Book and you have a lot less work.  It is up to you.

Sunset Coupon Books contain hundreds of dollars in savings from local merchants. The savings enjoyed from using just one or two coupons will pay for the book. And who doesn’t need to save money these days?

Sunset Coupon Books are small enough to fit in a pocket or purse yet contain over 40 family-friendly coupons such as 2 for 1 Meals, and Attractions like Bowling, Mini-Golf, Skating, etc; a combined value of over $400 in savings.

Coupon Books sell for only $10 each. You pay $5 for them so you make $5 for yourself for a full 100% profit.

Local coupon book editions are available in Phoenix, Tempe / Mesa, Tucson and Salt Lake City.

 If you are looking for a high value and easy fundraiser call Sunset Coupons at 602-279-0404 and see how we can help your group reach its goals, time after time and year after year.

Fundraising in Phoenix Metro Area, Tucson AZ and Greater Salt Lake City UT

Are you involved in fundraising efforts anywhere in the Phoenix Metro area, Tucson Arizona or Salt Lake City Utah? If you are I have great news for you and your group.  It doesn’t matter if your group is a School, Sports Team, Youth Group, Church or any type of Non-profit. Sunset Coupon Books can help you realize your fundraising goals.

As you know having the right tools makes all job easier to accomplish and have a much greater outcome. Many groups use some type of “sale item” to raise funds.

Has your fundraising group tried direct sales to raise money? Were you pleased your results? Did you meet or exceed your goal?

Keep in mind that what you sell makes all the difference.  No matter how good you are selling ice cubes in the winter and chocolate during the summer doesn’t work well at all.

What downsides did you run into?  Candy sales are affected by the overall move to eating healthy and spoilage can be a big problem.  You can even have on site snacking that can eat into your profits. In the hot summer weather no one wants to buy melted candy.

Consider Sunset Coupon Books as the “tool” your group uses to raise the funds.

Each and every Sunset Coupon Book contains hundreds of dollars in savings from local merchants. The savings enjoyed from using just one or two coupons will pay for the book. And who doesn’t need to save money these days? You can offer your supporters over $400 in savings in every Sunset Coupon Book.  Who doesn’t want to save money these days?

Sunset Coupon Books are small enough to fit in a pocket or purse yet contain over 40 family-friendly coupons such as 2 for 1 Meals, and Attractions like Bowling, Mini-Golf, Skating, etc; a combined value of over $400 in savings.

Coupon Books sell for only $10 each. You pay $5 for them so you make $5 for yourself for a full 100% profit.

Learn To Cater To The “What Is In It For Me” Crowd

That is always a good one to keep in mind when setting up your fundraising programs.  The
very common idea that is present in many people is the phrase, “What is in it for me?”  They are willing to help others only when and if there is something in it that directly benefits them.

They find it’s easy to trap themselves in their current surroundings and circumstances because they fail to notice what’s in for them and to perhaps make a change or try something new. Many have certainly experienced this. They only learn that doing something for someone else and that there was no or little gain in it for them, but they find they still have a very good feeling about the deed and about themselves. 

When you are working to raise funds for your group the friends and family have a vested interesting in helping.  But the community at large will, for the most part, need a reason to help beyond just being nice to your group.
