A couple answers for ya :) The organization gets 15% of the commissionable sales. You also get 15%. Your commission check will go to you (do you have the direct deposit?) and their organization check will get sent to the host. My director told me that most of the time, the organization...

Well, tonight is the kickoff to my fundraiser. I have a very motivated group of women and I'm really looking forward to working with them. I just really want to make this AWESOME. Its for a relay for life team but instead of it being just the team members, its the whole group including...

How many cards do you have? Are you making them? how much do you guess your start up costs were? I'm thinking I like the idea of one for HWC. I have a fair I'm doing on the 22nd so could really advertise it big there. Maybe I could set it up for the first weekend in May. Any way to...

I don't plan to do the same for every FR. My first is a Relay for Life FR for the ACS. For it, I'm giving an additional 5% plus a 1% bonus at 2500, 5000, 7500, 10,000, 15,000, and 20,000 (more if it comes down to it). I'm also giving $3 additional to PC's $3 per booking. And then...

This is a great question. I have a big fundraiser which will do outside orders until the big kitchen show 3 weeks later. I was going to put a show planner for each of the members, but I think you have a point. It would be nice to have one specifically for FRs.

I hope I can be one of the consultants to say how $10K fundraisers are done...one day... But I bet that those doing these big FRs also have duds. I worked in a preschool several years and NONE of the FRs were REALLY big (though the fairs do better than catalog shows). The parents are...

Tina... Also worth considering...If it is a cause you feel is worth supporting, you can also donate part of your commission. IMO, Fundraisers are for the cause and the bookings rather than getting rich (though that would be nice also). For example, I'm doing the Relay For Life FRs (btw, I...

I'm not sure what a big MAC call is but... I definitely would call each person who orders. However, maybe you can offer an incentive for each the current host and potential host. That way, the host will work hard for your next bookings and your new potential host will have an extra reason...

What I have in mine so farI have three big fundraisers coming up. As a new consultant, I sure could use a little direction also. However, this is what I have in mine so far (have to have done in 2 weeks): 1) letter to participant 2) catalog 3) two per page order forms 4) business op...

An ideaMy recruit and I have a similar situation with several FRs going on in the next couple months and some of them being downright huge (and the others being on the large side). One thing we want to do is stagger the FRs a bit. For example, one company is really big so we were thinking 3...

Some things to try...Well, 2 of the people I know best are also in the business. On top of that, we hang out with the same people! So it can be tough. A few places to consider. Look over on the Fundraiser board and learn about some of the options for Relay for Life fundraisers, school...

More questionsWas the mall expo something the mall was putting on and you just joined? Did you pitch it to the mall somehow? Basically, I guess how you got the opportunity is what I want to know. TIA, Pamela

What about?Are the cups and squares not available for sale during HWC? They weren't on the order forms posted above. I was just wondering. I also thought I saw somewhere some other HWC products. When can we consultants get these things? During April's 40% off? Of course I hope to earn...

MegaShowQuestionOkay, do you have suggestions on a mega show of a little larger proportions? What if its someplace like a gym that doesn't have a kitchen? Any ideas greatly appreciated! Pamela

What I would do, I think...I'm pretty new myself, but.... I definitely think that the idea of a fundraiser is to provide for the organization so DEFINITELY take orders and hopefully lots of them. Many people (myself included) are also giving a percentage of the commission also. IMO, though...
