First Fundraiser Experience: My Journey with PC | $200 in Sales & More to Come!

[heat123]

Well my frist Fundrasier turned out pretty weak as far as sales. It was a very small turnout to begin with. Only 1 order for like $15. But at least I got out there and attempted to get my name out there for the start of my new business! I handed out 6 catalogs, 3 minis, a handful of recipe cards with my contact info. and a snack with my contact info. So I guess exposure is what I got. 1 person who checked maybe for hosting a show. So I guess that's better than none!

So next is my Grandopening sunday and I hope it is a good one! My first catalog show did about $200 and a pre-opening mommy and me show did $350. So I am crossing my fingers I get the sign on bonus deadline 11-15-05! Got 5 more for this month, wish me luck! So far I'm really liking PC! I only hope it gets better and better!

I'm sorry to hear that your first fundraiser didn't go as well as you had hoped. But it's great that you were able to get your name out there and make some potential connections for future shows. Exposure is always important for a new business, so that's definitely a positive outcome. And it sounds like you've had success with your previous shows, so I have no doubt that your grand opening will be a success as well. Good luck with reaching your sign on bonus and I hope your business continues to grow! Keep us updated on your progress.
