Maximize Your Fundraiser Profits: Learn the Average Sale Amount!"

[cwinter474]

I'm trying to get a few fundraisers off and running, I'm running into a brick wall as soon as I say 10-15% profit. SO I am trying to come back and say something like :sing: "yes, I know it is only 15% but when your average sale is ____ then your real return is much higher than the $3.00 for a tub of cookie dough"

SO I am asking YOU... what is the average per person sale?

I'm still a newbie so I'm only guessing at about $30... am I way off

Unfortunately, your answer question is subjective: it depends on the time of the year, your location, your crowd. I just had a show with 18 guests, the guest sales were $1700, so almost $100 average. Then I had another show with 14 orders, $550 in sales, so less than $40.

I don't think $30 would be way off, though, for across-the-country averages. I would keep pushing that 15% of $30 is better than 50% of $0. One only needs to many tubs of cookie dough!

I've heard the average guest will purchase around $40 per show. I do agree with the cookie dough tub theory. They never get used that much in my kitchen and I'm always shocked at the upsale price of my neices fundraisers. You can tell people that when we do fundraisers, it's good quality kitchen tools at a reasonable price where they dont' "up" there price just for a fundraiser.

That's how I promote our fundraisers - that we offer the entire catalog at the regular catalog price, not an increased "fundraiser" price or only part of the catalog like other DS companies. I give them real examples of $ from my fundraisers, too (I did one for a school that was a multi-vendor, I did $1000 in sales, so $150 went to the school from PC alone - overall, the school made $500 total). If you can give them real $$ examples, that can help, too.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand your struggle with trying to get fundraisers off the ground. It can be tough when people are hesitant about the profit percentage. However, it's important to remember that our products are high-quality and have a higher price point than other fundraisers. So while the profit percentage may seem lower, the actual return on investment can be much higher.In my experience, the average per person sale for a Pampered Chef fundraiser is around $40-50. Of course, this can vary depending on the size and location of the event. But generally, our products are well-received and people are willing to spend a bit more for something they know is worth it.I hope this helps and good luck with your fundraisers! Don't be discouraged by the profit percentage, because in the end, it's the actual return that matters. Happy fundraising! :happy:
