[chefallison53]

What goes into your fundraiser packets?So, what goes into your packet for each participant? Please be detailed and attatch any flyers you might have. I looked through the files and didn't see anything that would work for me. Also, how do you assemble the packs and how much detail do you share with them? Pretty much share everything you do to ensure success! Thanks so much!!!!

At a show, they get a catalog and order form w/ receipt on the back. And a red pen, if they need it.
I tell them the guest special from my flip chart.

I don't have enough $ to waste on a bunch of lapboards and extra printouts and inserts.

Sorry for the confusion... for fundraisers! What do you give each person that is helping to raise funds?

can't helpChefAnn has some really great ideas. I have never done a (successful) fundraiser - so I can't really help you.

I THINK - she gave a Top 5 or Top 10 handout on the back of the order form. She also included a letter giving a quick explanation of how things work for a PC fundraiser (I hope I am not quoting wrong info). I have heard of other Consultants offering EXTRA incentives as well...

what I would doI would LOVE to do MORE fundraisers. If I do - I will give TONS of catalogues, have an EXTRA draw for the Monthly Host Special, as well as an incentive for collecting the most orders. I would put in the intro letter that you get EXTRA money for booking a Show, and may be a quick blurp about the products (1 year guarantee).

Here are some things I've used.FR Letter (http://www.chefsuccess.com/attachments/f5/8743d1191405736-fundraiser-letter-fr-letter.doc) is a letter I created to pass out to members of a 5th grade class. There's a student portion and a parent portion, but you can use it as a starting point. The second page is a list of popular items. You'll need to go through that, because it's a couple years old and prices have changed, and a couple of them have been discontinued. Each student got one letter, one catalog, and 2 OOFs (back to back).This document: http://www.chefsuccess.com/attachme...ose-fundraiser-featuring-products-no-pics.doc is based on one I found here, but I removed the pics that were on it and updated it a little. I use this at FR fairs to hand out to potential chairpersons. (I'm hooked in with the local office of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and they have several events a year for athletes who are participating in their events to get info about FRs.)

I'm doing a HWC fund raiser in may for a medical group and all i have in the packets is 2 order forms (they can make copies), one catalog, a pen and a your life, your way brochure. i also add a little note to let them know that they can contact me if they have any questions, and that they have permission to copy the order forms. i make sure that they have my contact info. i also let the team that's raising the funds that the highest seller will receive a special incentive gift as well as the one who turns in the most sales.

i have attached a copy of my most recent FR Order form. hope this helps...

These are nit-picky, but they affect how professional your document looks.The graphics on the top of the page are "squished" vertically.
The 6th bullet in the group of 7 has a typo for "to" (it says tp)Otherwise, it looks good!

 

[ragschef]

I agree with Ann. Looks good!!

Here is a copy of the letter I put into each packet. Just for fun...
