Fundraiser Info for Boy Scout Troop | Tips and Resources on CC

[PurpleAngel]

I was looking on CC for info on fundraising...

I was going to sugest that my son's Boy Scout Troop have a PC fundraiser. But I need more info before I go to the committee.

What do you want to know?

HO donates 10%-15% of the sales.

So...does it work like a regular show/catty show then? Who gets the host gift or do those go away with the fundraiser option?

Their are no host benefits, no 10% disc for year. But chairperson can purchase the host special.

It's pretty simple. Choose fundraiser in P3 and the organization gets 10% to 15% based on guest sales and $3 per booking. Chairperson can get host special but that's it. I had one in February and it went okay... not a lot of folks ordered but the chairperson was thrilled with the special and they'll get a little money. Oh and commission is lower for you too... I think it's 15% instead of 20%...

For more information on our fundraising program go to CC and then policies and procedures and types of shows and it will tell you about them. PC also has a flyer describing our fundraisers and the breakdown of the amount they donate to the organization --you can order on a supply order. I also think there is a checklist for fundraisers in the download section on CC.

Also, fundraisers are supposed to be cooking shows...at least have a kick-off to the fundraiser with a cooking show.That face-to-face interaction is the core of our business and also very important in fundraising too.

Is that really a rule that they have to be live shows?

It's not a rule, but in the policies, the section about FRs does highly recommend doing a live show. Sales are usually higher when there's a kickoff. It's just like cooking show vs. catalog show: people who see the tools in action get more excited and sales end up higher.
