The school is putting on a fundraiser on Oct 4th and put up advertising banners so the public would see. They charge $25.00 for a spot on the field/track. I paid for one spot. I thought about turning my booth into a fundraiser within a fundraiser so to speak. I'm not going to bring any items for cash in carry just products and catalogs. If people purchase from the catalog than I was thinking of turning it into a fundraiser for the school. Apparently there is another swap meet being put on at the same time at the park and the school wants to advertise to get those people's attention. I wanted some ideas on a flyer that would catch everyone's attention like Support our School or Swap Meet Fundraiser for school. Anyone done anything like this?
 
Here are some ideas for a flyer: • Get Ready to Support Our School! Join Us at the Swap Meet Fundraiser on October 4th • Help Us Raise Money for Our School—Shop at the Swap Meet Fundraiser• Come Out and Show Your School Pride—Swap Meet Fundraiser on October 4th • Have Fun While Supporting Our School—Come to the Swap Meet Fundraiser • Come Shop and Support Our School—Swap Meet Fundraiser on October 4th • Show Your Support for Our School—Join Us at the Swap Meet Fundraiser • Let's Raise Money for Our School Together—Swap Meet Fundraiser on October 4th
 
I think that's a great idea to turn your booth into a fundraiser within a fundraiser! It's a creative way to support the school and also promote your products. As for the flyer, I would suggest using eye-catching graphics and bold, attention-grabbing text. Maybe something like "Shop for a cause at our Swap Meet Fundraiser!" or "Support our school while you shop at our Swap Meet!" You could also include some information about the school and the fundraiser, as well as some of the products or brands that will be available at your booth. Good luck with the fundraiser!
