I have my first fundraiser on Monday and they are already talking about having a second fundraiser before Christmas :)

My question is can they get the booking credit of $3 for booking another fundraiser for themselves (within 6 months) through this one?
Also, do they received the $3 when the show is submitted or once the booked shows are submitted? If so, how do they know it was booked through the fundraiser?

While I am at it - does anyone have a good way of keeping track of which member submits which order? I am offering incentives for several levels of product orders, plus when the order comes it the seperation of products may be easier.

Thanks for any help.

bump - I think I may have posted this too early in the morning.
 
Ok -- Yes they can book off themselves. For the future fundraiser booking, just enter it as any normal booking off the show and select fundraiser as the type.

Not sure when they get the $3.

For tracking the orders - go to the files section in the bar above and look up fundraisers. Some of the awesome folks here have made some great outside order froms that you can print that have a space to denote who the sale came from for tracking purposes. You can print as many as you want this way and the organization could always make copies of it if they need additional ones, too. Just be sure to include printed computer reciepts for the orders when all is said and done that have the guarantee information and your contact info on them. :)
 
Yes, if you put it in as a booking they will get the $3 and it is awarded at the original fundraiser (when the first show is submitted). Mark the booking on the organizer's order screen like you would a booking in any other show.

Just put each person's order in separately in their name (on PP or P3).

what about if they have orders online - how do I know who the member they are ordering through is?

Yes - I discovered the files and they have some great people on this site.

Thanks for your help.

They would have to tell you that. When setting it up ask them to comment that they are ordering for "Mary Jones" or ask them to send you an email.

The other thing you could do is give the online names to the group and have them attach a member's name.

Thanks Beth. I am sure after I do one I will be able to work out the kinks.
 
So this is an old thread, but I wanted to clarify......

The organization get's the $3 when their show is submitted and the check is sent? They DON'T have to wait till the show booked off the fundraiser is held?
 
Just bumping so I don't have to start a new thread to clarify the answer to this question....
