Hi,
I am almost sick to my stomach right now. The director of a preschool wants to do a KITK fundraiser. I suggested charging $20 where $10 goes toward ingredients and a product giveaway and $10 goes towards a purchase from the catalog. Since I know this person, I offered to give her 15% no matter what and basically submit it as a show where I get the remaining comission and the free product value. This person suggested that she is going to keep the $10 and I basically have to depend on people placing an order to receive anything out of it...and she still wants the 15%!!! I ama very passive person and my daughter attends this school, so I don't know how to let her know that that is not going to work. How can I spend all of this time and energy to maybe get a few orders...My thinking is, that if parents sign their children up for the class and spend $20, they won't be placing any orders. At least if they have a voucher then I am guaranteed a $240 show (There will be 2 groups of 12 kids) As it is, I am not making a lot of commision, but at least my sales are covered for the month. Any advice/help would be appreciated...I think I just needed to vent a little!!!
BTW- last month I did an adult show at the school with 15 guests and supplied the food- with a $300 show- I basically made nothing while writing a check to her for $50.
