School Fund Raising Solutions
-
Brochure Fundraising
is the process of soliciting orders from family, friends,
neighbors and people at work using color brochures. Many elementary
school, junior high schools and senior high school booster clubs
among many other types of non-profit youth groups have used brochure
fundraisers very profitably. This
type of program has no up front costs- everything is free. Orders
and monies are collected at the time of the sale. For more comprehensive
information on this type of program, please visit our "Brochure
Fundraising" page.
-
"Direct Sale
Fundraising"
is simply a phrase we use to describe a fundraiser where merchandise
is purchased in advance and then sold directly to the customer.
Our primary direct sale products are Hershey's
Chocolates, Fundraising
Candybars and Lollipopland
Lollipops. This type of fundraiser is great for raising quick
money in a short amount of time. It works well at sporting events,
office sales, cafeterias, etc. For a more comprehensive listing
of our direct sale products, please visit our Fundraising
Superstore.
Which
type of fund raising program is right for my school or group?
There is no set rule for
which type of fundraiser you should run for your school, team or organization.
We offer a variety of both Brochure and Direct Sale fundraising programs
and that decision is often predicated on a number of things which
include: the amount of money being raised, time of year, number of
participants, local economic conditions and what kind of products
you think will sell well in your community.
What
advice can you offer me?
The first fund raising advise we can offer you is from our "Expert Advice" page will is a great aid for all brochure fund raising sponsors - and it offers important information regarding running your brochure fundraiser safely.
The fundraisingzone.com
(a Tracy Hamilton Inc. Company) has been in the fundraising business
since 1965 and we learned a lot in that time. The most important
element of any fundraiser is having clear goals, both financial
and organizational. We suggest that you do your "homework" and find
the best fundraising program you can with a vendor that will support
you before, during and after the event. We suggest you read our Expert Advise section for a few
additional hints and ideas.
What
about our profits, I hear a lot of different things?
There are literally hundreds,
perhaps thousands of distributors offering a huge selection of different
products, brochures, ideas and programs to people like you who are
looking to raise money for your cause. These vendors offer anywhere
from 5% profits to 90% profits depending on the type of approach.
How do you decide? Well, that is up to you. Our suggestion is that
you base your decision on how you think you can sell a program.
The fact is, that if you have a program that offers you, let's say
50% profit and you only sell $1,000 worth and you have another program
that offers you only 30% profit but you sell $5,000 worth, you wind
up earning three times as much. The choice is clear.
Generally, most groups
earn the money they need by either running a "Brochure" fundraiser
or a "Direct Sale" fundraiser and the other types of programs available
make up the difference. If you have questions about the other types
of programs you might come across please feel free to contact us
to discuss it, we'd be happy to assist you.
