Impromptu Fundraiser Suggestions Needed!

[ChristinePC]

Hello!

I have been given an opportunity to set up a table at a Fundraising event. I am setting it up as a traditional PC Fundraiser where they will get a percentage of sales, etc. etc. etc. I would love to hear ideas on how to entice people to order right off the table and/or host shows to benefit the cause. Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated!

I have done one other Fundraiser where they had prior knowledge that I would be there...flyers went home and they either ordered online or brought orders to me on the night I had my table set up. This is different...I am not part of the main attraction.

I will have a raffle and I will have the New Traditions on display with a 20% off sign. I don't want to have too much out on the table..but I don't want to not have enough either....eeesh I am so excited about this opportunity but petrified at the same time that it won't yield sales or bookings! HELP!!

How about you will donate so many $$ to organization for booking a show. But make sure you stipulate that the money will be paid when the show is closed.

I am currently planning a fundraiser featuring the Roundup Trivet and telling them they can add to the amount the organization gets by getting orders for anything in the book. I also point out that PC does not raise their prices for our fundraiser customers.

I also offer a booking benefit (PC gives $3 per show booked at the fundraiser). I give the organization $25 for every $300 in sales at those shows (when they close).

Since I'm the Second Harvest Rep. in my area, I am doing a fundraiser for them. They will get $5 for every trivet sold. ($2 from PC plus the $$ from the fund-raiser and then I will round up enough to make the $5 per trivet.)

I'm charging $14 each for the trivets - $12 + $0.84 NC tax + $1 toward shipping. I will combine the orders (if someone collects 5 orders they will all be under her name, etc.) to maximize the donation. If someone orders 10 or more I will ship to them for no extra charge if they choose. I'm also urging them to pay an extra $1 and 100% of that will go to Second Harvest, order other products on the fundraiser and book shows with the above donations.

I'll let you know how it goes! It will run through September.
