Fundraising Tips:
|
|
|
Plan:
- Set a financial goal. Give each order taker a minimum number to sell.
- Give each order taker an order form.
- Determine the time frame of your fundraiser
- Consider days off for holidays.
- Do you need your profit for an event? If so, when is it?
- Set a due date to collect order forms from your sales team.
- Remember to order from T.S. Outfitters in time to meet any deadline.
- Choose a product, colors, and design.
- Motivate your sales team.
- Remember, every sale brings the group closer to their financial goal.
Advertise:
- Order a generic sample. Display the sample for sizing purposes.
- Advertise in the school newspaper, PTA, booster, and alumni newsletters. Include a picture of the product, if possible.
- Hang posters, make announcements, and pass out flyers through the duration of the fundraiser.
- Remind your customers about their deadlines. For example "On sale now…" or "Last day to order is…."
- In all promotions, be sure to show the product, price, sale dates, and location to place an order.
- You may want to include parents as a potential customer. Send a letter to the parents of the students that describes your project. Parents may order something as a gift to their son or daughter.
- Don't forget Middle Schools affiliated with your high school.
Sell:
- Give order forms to your sales team
- Have each order taker put their name, phone number, organization name, & homeroom number on his or her order form.
- Have the order taker collect money as the order is taken. Make checks payable to your organization (T.S. Outfitters will accept one
check for the entire order.)
- Set up tables during lunch and in high traffic areas. This will give your project full exposure.
- Have one person monitor sales during the fundraiser. Keep your project under control.
- Collect all order forms and money.
- Look over the order forms; make sure you have received the right amount of money.
- Get your total number of items and call T.S. Outfitters with your order. Have a purchase order number ready.
Distribute:
- When the products arrive, have a meeting with your sales team. Give each individual his or her order form back and let each order taker distribute the items he or she sold.
- Include a short thank you note with the product when you distribute it to your customer.
