I've clinched a fundraiser for the preschool where I teach - which is at my church - and they've agreed to let me put something in next Sunday's bulletin, inviting church members to purchase and help out our preschool. I'm going to direct them to my website or to see me. Definitely saying something about family time - meals together etc....
 
Good Luck!I just got my first FR! Here are some items that were given to me. Hope they help you. Don't have specific "sales pitch" but maybe you can gather something from here. :)

Thanks Keri - those are great! I'll use bits and pieces for my letter to the parents to go in each packet - but what I'm really looking for on this thread is something small - like an ad - announcing the fundraiser for the bulletin and inviting church members to shop. Has to be short - but get their attention!!!
 
What is their goal? What is the money being used for? Start with: "Help the kids get...."
 
How about the ad generator? It has some beautiful options!

Good Idea KD - I have yet to check that out! thanks!
 
Doris Christopher was very active at her church, a strong Lutheran, and many of her initial customers were church members, I am sure. Step one - soft sell! "put your checkbooks away" I am here to show you some amazing tools, and teach you some food tips to help you get out of the kitchen and spend more time with your family. Of course if you want to purchase anything, I can help you with that, but I am not here to "sell you" on our products - actually, they sell themselves!

Chris Manion who is #5 in the company or something is also very involved in her church and says - as she has made time for God in her life each day, her PC business has flourished!

Go in peace! God Bless You!
