You only have so much in your fundraising budget to attempt to entice your sellers to bring in more money. You need to spend whatever money you have wisely. As a result, you are careful with your big prize purchase having done your homework by asking for people’s opinions on what to buy. After careful consideration you have determined that the prize that you have finally selected is really going to motivate your group to sell more. After all, you’ve discovered that it’s what everyone’s talking about anyway.

One of the most commonly asked question prior to a school agreeing to work with us for their fundraising event is which brochure program sells the most? It is obvious that they want to make the right choice that will give their consumers the best possible product offering in order to maximize sales. Our most customary answer is any brochure is capable of selling very well in a given area. It just depends. There are several factors that you may want to consider when attempting to choose the right brochure program for your group. They include:

It may be surprising that there are a lot schools out there that simply do a fundraiser just because it’s that time of the year and that’s just when they always do it. If you ask them why they are doing a fundraiser their answer is almost always the same. They are raising money for the ‘general fund’. They then go on to explain that their students, staff and parents are used to it that way and it almost runs on autopilot. The fundraising kick-off is performed, the students take home their packets and the selling begins.

One of the best ways to increase sales and raise more money is to add additional prize incentives. For instance, young sellers get very excited at the idea of getting to ride in a big limousine or going to a big pizza party; so as a result, a lot of sellers compete for this special incentive by selling more items. This is a great way to add yet another element of excitement to your fundraiser, so we highly encourage you to consider it.
