Getting Started With a Fundraiser

[staci manier]

Hi, I am seriously considering becomming a PC consultant. I was hoping someone could answer questions about fundraising? I was wanting to host a show and offer my commission to the group, would I be able to use host points to "enhance my kitchen"? I saw where someone offered to donate an additional $20 for each show booked off the original? Would I treat those shows as regular kitchen shows where the host would recieve all the customary benefits? Thanks for your help!

similar questionsI have heard people say that they do enter it as a Kitchen Show then make the donations themselves. How in the world does that work?? If anyone out there has done this, I would like to know how it is supposed to work. I would like to be able to use the points etc. for myself (sounds greedy, sorry) but I want the organization to receive the most it can.

Fundraiser helpWhen you hold a fundrasier with the Pampered chef the organization receives 10% - 15% of sales directly from the Pampered Chef in place of free kitchen products. TPC also donates $3 for every show booked from your fundraiser. I personally, depending on the fundraiser, donate a portion of my commission - which is a tax write off at the end of the year. If you are wanting to stock your kitchen with new products, join the company, earn your super starter bonuses each month that are offered for your first 3 months and you will have a TON of product. In addition you always have the opportunity to earn all of the new product that is introduced twice a year. Many consultants give an extra donation to the organization for each show booked (such as $10) to help increase kitchen show bookings.

Usually fundraisers are organized by a member of the group or the consultant and the group gets cash (10-15% of sales) instead of product credit. Pampered chef offers the opportunity to get you so many of our products for free during the first months that you won't need to worry about enhancing the kit!

You can contact me directly if you are not currently working with a consultant and I could help work out the details for you. My phone # is 919-304-9008 and my consultant # is 293128

PS: I do give extra money to an organization for any bookings (besides the $3 PC gives them) but not until that show closes.

Hi there! Congratulations on considering becoming a PC consultant! Fundraising is a great way to not only support a cause you care about, but also to grow your business and reach new customers. As a consultant, you can definitely use your commission from a show to donate to the group or cause of your choice. Host points can also be used to enhance your kitchen, so that is definitely an option for you. As for the additional $20 donation for each show booked off the original, that would be up to you and your host to decide. You could treat those shows as regular kitchen shows and the host would receive all the customary benefits, or you could come up with a different arrangement. The important thing is to communicate clearly with your host and make sure everyone is on the same page. Good luck with your fundraising efforts!
