Maximize Your Impact with HWC: $11.22 Donation per Product Set!

[pampered1224]

I had an idea from my mom about HWC. She said I should take orders but do it in a way that makes it a BIG number for ACS.
All three of our products total out at $27.
Adding 4.75 = 31.75 + 1.78 (5.6 here tax) = $33.53. She said I should advertise a set of the products for a $35.00 donation.
This makes for an additional $1.47 in a cash donation to each order. $35, easy number for each purchase so it is easy to manage for me and for guests.
Now, if it works out, that means $3 off the top for the donations from Pink Products. 6.75 at 25% - I totally intend to make over $600 in sales - for a total of $9.75 per set. Then you take the $1.47 extra and send it in as a cash donation. This means a total of $11.22 per set donation. What do you think?
Oh and one of the places - A flea market at Miller Park - our Brewers Ball Park! Or should I just ask for donations and sell whatever products? Or does anyone have $33,530 laying around so I can purchase 1000 sets to sell out right?

Our tax rate here is 8.6 so the total would be 34.48. Not a bad idea actually, but make sure you advertise the "set" with the total donation amount including the extra you are collecting.

Also, I would just round the 11.22 up to 11.25 and just toss the extra .03 in from your commissions, only a few dollars based on your $600 projection (17 sets x .03) unless I misread something.

Don't forget the pink scraper is NOT available for sale (only free with $60 order) and make sure they know it's not included in the set price.

I think you have a great idea here for a vendor event myself.

I like the idea too! Maybe someone so inclined could put together a flyer?

Don't forget the pink scraper is NOT available for sale (only free with $60 order) and make sure they know it's not included in the set price.

You could say that if you purchase three sets, you get the scraper as a bonus gift.

Great idea. I forgot about the Pink Scraper. Thank you for the reminder too as I will NEED to make sure the entire breakdown of the donation is apparent. I also have several other venues set up. No, I will not be doing food at any of them as two of the places require a license to even do the samples thing like sauces and dips with pretzels. Plus I do not own the proper equipment required with the license to keep them refrigerated. BUT I do have one place that may be a possibility for that. I have one host who has volunteered his front yard or garage. I will be using a double bowl thing to keep things cold as this is all that is required there. I also do not need a license there. He even asked me about doing the wienie roast thing where we buy hot dogs, buns, small bags of chips and cheap soda and sell them at a profit. The profit then goes to ACS. Lots to do still to get this going but I am half way there with venues at least set up. Now, I just need to set the dates and put it in stone! Thanks for the ideas!

Thanks for posting that. I didnt see that. Very nice! No need to recreate the wheel.

 

[pampered1224]

I out one out about two weeks ago under NEW FORMS BUT...
but I could not figure out how to attach the word version because it is way to big. And the one I had, I do not know how to put in those fill in blanks. This is much nicer anyway so...

 

[ChefPeg]

woah. I'm good at math but all those numbers make my head spin. Might be because we don't have sales tax here and that's where I lost you.

Thanks for sharing. Hadn't seen that yet. It will come in handy for my event Saturday.

There is a whole bunch of stuff on CC under "Promoting and Building your business"; "About our Charitable Giving Programs"; "Help Whip Cancer".
Everything you need or need to know is there.

$35 is easy, but most people will spend $34.95 or $34.99 before they'll spend $35. It's a psychological thing. LOL

And if they pay by credit card, how will you charge them for the donation? Unless you do it as a round up?

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[pampered1224]

I actually have been doing that for years. I tell everyone the donations are going through via The Pampered Chef and that is the charge they will see on their CC. I put in the donors name in P3 with a charge, no products need to be on their order to make a CC payment against the shows total, and charge the CC the amount of the donation. Then the cash or checks made out to me replace the cash needed to cover the donation via CC. Then I write a check to ACS to cover those then gets me the cash donation via check to ACS for the donation. Not everyone pays with CCs so it makes it easy to do.

I'm getting more checks here. In Japan most of my customers paid with credit cards. I've closed several shows with all credit cards. So I could not have counted on that in Japan. Too many people do the card route! LOL
