Boost Your Daycare's Funds with a Pampered Chef Fundraiser - Learn How!

[Citchen Couture]

Good Morning,

I am a recent PC Consultant. Although I started out so hyped, business has not taken off as I had expected Everyone seems to be strapped for cash due to the downward economic trend.

I own and operate my own daycare business and every fall I hold a fundraiser to help raise $$ for new toys, supplies, etc.

So . . . this year it seems only natural that my fundraiser be Pampered Chef. I can't seem to locate in the policy guide the information and rules for fundraisers. Can someone tell me where I would be able to find out how I should go about starting this fundraiser? I'd like to hold it next month (September). I usually sell Joe Corbi's Pizza and I do really well with them. I hope I do as well with PC.

I would make flyers giving out all the information, mini catalogs and order forms.
I would also have a "kick off" for everyone to see the products and have a sample of some recipes. Make sure you have a specific start and finish date.
You could also send out information via email. I don't know if you set up a FB page. You could post it on that too. Depending on how many families are at your daycare, I would try to get as many people to come to the "kick off". Let EVERYONE know that you are holding an open house for the New Fall Products and that they would be supporting a fundraiser. The more "advertising" you do, the more successful it will be. Remind everyone that they can also support the fundraiser by booking a party too. I think it is $3.00 per booking. So even if someone can't afford to buy products, they can still support it by having a party. And of course they get free products from their party. Make sure you set it up on your web site for online orders.
I think the most important things are: making sure they have ALL the information clearly explained. And of course getting as many people to attend or place an order.
Plan it out carefully, you do not want to lose any $. It is easy to spend $ not knowing how profitable it may be.
You may also want to have a raffle/drawing to get more people to attend.
I am sure the more "experienced" consultants will have great ideas to help you too.
I recently had a not so successful fundraiser, however, I did get a new group of "out of circle hosts" that made it worthwhile.
