Fundraiser Selling Tips

1. Set a starting date and closing date for your fundraiser. Two weeks is an ideal time frame. Anything more than 2 weeks can be counter-productive.


2. Clearly define the reason and goals for your fundraiser.


3. Assign volunteers to help run and administer the fundraiser - especially on the day the products arrive.


4. Have each participant make a list of family and friends who may be interested in supporting your fundraising efforts.


5. Promotion and word of mouth is key. Spread the word throughout the community.


6. Keep copies of all order forms for your records or for potential tax implications.


7. Triple-check all monies and orders before calling in or sending your order to JSC Fundraising. Trust us, this will save you a big headache if your orders are correct.


8. Rely on your product fundraising company professional for suggestions and advice.


9. Keep copies of all forms turned in by volunteers before sending them to the fundraising company.


10. Keep your participants enthusiastic & have fun!
