Host a Successful Cookbook Fundraiser with These Tips and Tricks

[winklermom]

Someone mentioned that they were doing a cookbook only fund raiser. I'm just wondering how to go about doing this? I've looked to see if there is an order form under the files, but haven't found anything. Any suggestions on how to conduct something like this is greatly appreciated.

I have heard that a long time ago, PC corporate had cookbook fundraisers. I'm very vague on this, but I think it was cookbooks at a reduced price for the organization but sold at full price to the customers. Don't know if they were instead of the current fundraiser format or in addition to it. I haven't heard of anyone offering their own kind of cookbook fundraiser these days.

If you type in "cookbook fundraiser" in the files section, it will give you forms to use. HTH

Thanks! I was using "fund raiser" (two words instead of one) and it was coming up empty. Also, can anyone edit to remove the discontinued ones and add the new S/S '11 books?

Hi there! I've actually done a cookbook fundraiser before and it was a huge success. Here are some tips on how to go about it:1. Start by creating a theme for your cookbook. This could be based on a particular cuisine, a holiday theme, or even a collection of family recipes.2. Reach out to your network and ask for recipe submissions. You can also ask for permission to include any famous family recipes from friends and family.3. Once you have enough recipes, you can start designing the cookbook. There are many online tools and platforms that can help you create a professional-looking cookbook.4. Set a price for the cookbook and create an order form. You can either have physical order forms or create an online order form through your consultant website.5. Promote your cookbook fundraiser through social media, email, and word of mouth. You can also offer special incentives for bulk orders or early bird purchases.6. Consider hosting a launch party for the cookbook where you can showcase some of the recipes and sell copies of the book.7. Don't forget to keep track of orders and payments, and make sure to follow up with customers to ensure timely delivery of their cookbooks.I hope these tips help you get started on your cookbook fundraiser. Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions.
