We all know that the only reason we give a school fundraiser is to make money. Important decisions must be made before one dime is ever accounted for. What type of school fundraisers should we run? what's the best time of year to run our school fundraiser? These are just a couple of questions you must answer before your start.
Each school has a unique set of students. Economics of the area and personal taste of your student body will have a huge impact on the type of school fundraising program you should choose. Look for price ranges between $10.00 and $15.00 per product. These price points will allow everyone in the school to participate in your school fundraiser. Research has shown that schools make their best profits in the fall and right before mother's day in the Spring. Make sure to schedule your fundraiser before major paydays in your area. The 1st and the 15th work great for most groups.
Candle Fundraisers work well for small and large school groups. Candle fundraising programs are proven to appeal to large customer bases. A candle fundraiser is popular among all types of people.
The distribution of your school fundraiser is as important as your original selling period. This is a time to meet with your participants. These parents are your greatest support. The strength behind any good PTA or PTO board are the active volunteers.
There are so many school fundraising companys to choose from. Selecting the one that will be right for your school fundraiser can be tricky. There are a few factors to consider and research before you pick your fundraising company/partner.
Every kid wants to have fun. In fact unless you offer most kids a reward, they are just not going to help you. Prize incentives are great for motivating your students to help. Whether your kids are young or old, you can get their attention with incentives. The younger the kids are, the easier they are to please. Cheap glittery toys go along way with them. Walmart and the dollar stores are great places to pick up an assortment of toys. Have one grand prize for the top seller. A giant Teddy Bear get raves reveiws!
