Fundraising Incentives: Motivating Top Sellers Without Breaking the Bank

[lisacb77]

What type of incentives do you personally offer top sellers for your fundraising groups? I remember Tupperware doing this when I participated in one in HS.

I am thinking a choice between a $25 gift card to Starbucks, Target or Best Buy (haven't decided which to offer) or in product for the top seller. Then a drawing for each $50 or $100 (haven't decided which) for another prize.

I know my director is successful with that with a band she works with, but she's done it with them for years and they even buy the prize (an ipod). I am thinking of approaching a few new groups, esp a new HS about 10 mins from here and I don't think they could afford yet. I want to offer something to motivate, but don't want to break the bank.

I also thought of the option that if it was okay w/the band director, I could mention that the GCs would be for the band fundrasier and maybe I could get a discount or donation from SB or whoever.

Thoughts?? What has worked for you??

Thanks!

What I am currently doing for my fundraiser is a $25 gift card to store of their choice and a pizza party for the top selling team (the fundraiser is being done by 6 volleyball teams at a high school). Therefore I am spending about $100 out of pocket and there is an incentive for everyone that anyone can earn. Let us know what you choose!

I like that Alison! I think I will let them know the "store of their choice" includes PC You never know, I might have a senior needing stuff for their apt after graduation.

Thanks!
