How Would You Set This Fundraiser Up?

[gailz2]

A customer of mine wants to set up a fundraiser for her friend (31 y.o.) who has invasive breast cancer. They do not live near me, and there are multiple people on this fundraising board who want to send out invitations from my website to all of their email lists.I am thinking of holding this as a catalog show, with host benefit products to be auctioned off later. I am going to give them a straight 20% of sales.Can the various board members of this group import their email lists to have evites sent, or do they need to be individually entered?What thoughts do you have on this?? I need help. I was also wondering if there is a way to set this up for direct shipping only.

I would suggest you set up one fundraiser on your website under the name of the gal they're raising money for. Then I would create a flier/email invitation of your own, forward it to all those involved, and have them send the flier to their contacts. That way, on the flier you can spell out the recipient, give directions on how to participate, how it will benefit the recipient, and give your instruction on all orders being direct shipping. Since all the orders get verified by you, if someone doesn't follow the direct shipping instruction, you'll be able to contact them to tell them you will need to change their order. And, since nothing is charged until you submit the show, it won't mess the person's card up.

They could all use the website to import their lists if all were given the host code.

Can they import their lists somehow, or do they need to be individually typed in?

Have them email you the list in a .csv file. Make sure first column is first name, second column is last name and third is email. You can import the file into your website yourself. If you can't figure it out, someone in tech support can help you, but it's not hard. I've done it a few times.
