First let me tell you what a GREAT site this is!!! I've got so many GReAT ideas to get my new business off the ground!!

I'm just in the beging of my 30 days i'm contacting local oganizations to see where I might be able to help with a FR. I'm concerned about not having qualified yet so I don't have the ordering option on my website so i'm assuming i can't set set up a fundraiser thru there. Any suggestions??? :confused:

Thanks!!

My recommendation to you would be to do your four parties first, and worry about gaining a fundraiser later. I've been doing this for 1 1/2 years and I have never done a fundraiser. Not to say that I never will but the MOST IMPORTANT thing for you right now is to get qualified. Cooking shows are most important right now....fundraisers will be there.

Sorry, probably not the answer you wanted but that''s JMHO from a seasoned consultant!
 
I agree with Vanessa... fundraisers seem to be hard to find, even when it seems like a no-brainer. LOL... I've had one and it was barely a show.
 
Just as an answer to your question, although online ordering (individual orders) won't be enabled until you qualify, guests can place outside orders on shows (and fundraisers) you have set up on your website before you qualify.

How can I promote my Pampered Chef fundraiser to increase orders?

To promote your fundraiser, create engaging posts on social media platforms, share personal stories about the cause, and use eye-catching images of the products. You can also host a virtual cooking demonstration to showcase the products and encourage attendees to place orders.

Should I offer incentives to encourage orders for my fundraiser?

Yes, offering incentives can be a great way to encourage orders. Consider providing small giveaways, discounts on future purchases, or entry into a raffle for those who place orders. This can motivate supporters to participate and help boost sales.

What if my supporters are unfamiliar with Pampered Chef products?

If your supporters are unfamiliar with Pampered Chef products, provide them with information about the product line, including benefits, uses, and testimonials. You can create a product catalog or share links to videos that demonstrate how to use the products effectively.

How can I follow up with potential customers who haven't ordered yet?
