How Can Presales Boost Your May Cancer Fundraiser?

[wadesgirl]

I'm going to send out the PWS email for the Help Whip Cancer products but I cannot think of what to say! I want to offer presales of the guest products, offer people to collect orders of their own (all to go towards a fundraiser the first of May) and to offer the last dates I have available in May. I need some help!!!!!!

This is the email I have scheduled to go out in the morning to my newsletter list:

Dear Ann,

May is the 9th Annual Help Whip Cancer month with The Pampered Chef. This year, there are 3 special items available to all customers and an exclusive host-only item. The purchase of each of these items triggers a $1 donation to the American Cancer Society for their breast cancer awareness and education programs.

My personal goal this year is to sell 200 of these items, but I'll need some help. As a thank you for collecting orders, I'm offering free pink products. When you collect orders for 10 or more of a single item, I'll give you one of that item for yourself.

• Pass a "cookie style" order form. Call me to get a form and a collection packet, and pass it around your circle of friends, family and coworkers. If you collect orders for $150 or more in products, and you'll also be eligible for the host-only special.
• Host a virtual show. Let me know you want to help, and I'll set up an online show under your name. Your friends and family can order any current products online, including the special Help Whip Cancer items.
• Host a cooking show. Call me to pick a date and get your host pack. You can host a standard cooking show, or a Help Whip Cancer fundraiser in which an additional donation will be made to the ACS in lieu of standard host benefits.
• Place an order. Don't want to collect orders? You can still get the pink things (and other items) by going to my website and entering my name (Ann Szwarc) as the host name. All orders collected this way will be submitted as a HWC fundraiser, with an additional 10-25% of the total donated to the ACS.

Everyone who orders 2 or more pink items will receive a limited edition HWC lapel pin to show their support.

Newsletter Special:
Newsletter subscribers who host in May will receive free recipe ingredients for their show. Contact me before your date is gone!

No special code needed for HWC items.
Offer good through May. 31, 2007.
Order online. Use Ann Szwarc as the host name to pre-order before May.

Ann that is awesome. I'm going to us it for my email list Thanks so much for sharing!

 

[wadesgirl]

Both Ann's and Linda's were so much better than what I came up with! I knew asking here would help out! I'll have to wait until I get home tonight and put them together.

 

[wadesgirl]

Thanks everyone! I just sent it out, I guess we'll see what happens. Do you ever contact people who purchased last year to see if they want to purchase again?

[chefann]

Oops- I thought I changed that! Great. It went out a few days ago.

Linda do you have a special order form you use for the packets? do you charge shipping on the orders?
