Fundraiser Selling Tips

Set a starting date and closing date for your fundraiser. Two weeks is the ideal time frame. Anything more than two weeks can be counter-productive.
Clearly define the reason and goals for your fundraiser.
Assign volunteers to help run and administer the fundraiser - like distributing the brochures and the products when they arrive.
Have each participant make a list of family and friends who may be interested in supporting your fundraising efforts.
Promotion and word of mouth is the biggest key. Spread the word.
Take advantage of using our free web page promotion and print it on all promotional materials.
Keep copies of all order forms for your records.
Double-check all payments and orders before calling or sending your order to Canada Fundraiser. This will save you a big headache if your orders are correct.
Rely on your product fundraising company professional for suggestions and advice.
Keep copies of all forms turned in by volunteers before sending them to the fundraising company.
Keep your participants enthusiastic and having fun! Offer the ones who sell the most a reward such as free pizza or books, or even bigger items if you can strike a deal with a local store or restaurant.
