It is up to you and your organization's policies on how to handle fundraiser orders and receipts. Some organizations prefer to give back the original order form as a record for the student, while others may transfer the order onto a 2-ply receipt for record-keeping purposes. It is best to consult with your organization's guidelines or ask a supervisor for clarification on the preferred method.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are outside order forms and how do they work in a Pampered Chef fundraiser?
Outside order forms are additional order sheets that allow participants to collect orders from friends, family, and coworkers who may not be able to attend the fundraiser event. These forms typically include a list of available products, prices, and space for customers to fill in their contact information and order details. Participants can submit these forms along with their own orders to maximize sales and support the fundraiser.
How can I encourage participants to use outside order forms effectively?
To encourage participants to use outside order forms effectively, provide clear instructions on how to fill them out and emphasize the benefits of reaching out to their networks. Offer incentives for those who collect the most orders, such as small prizes or recognition. Additionally, share tips on how to approach potential customers and communicate the purpose of the fundraiser to generate interest.
What should I do if I receive outside order forms with incomplete information?
If you receive outside order forms with incomplete information, it's important to follow up with the participant who submitted the form. Contact them to clarify any missing details, such as customer names, addresses, or payment information. This ensures that all orders can be processed accurately and helps maintain a positive experience for both the fundraiser participants and their customers.
How can I keep track of outside orders and ensure they are included in the final tally?
To keep track of outside orders, create a dedicated spreadsheet or use a tracking system that allows you to log each order as it comes in. Include columns for participant names, order details, and payment status. Regularly update this log and communicate with participants to confirm that all orders have been accounted for before submitting the final tally to Pampered Chef.
What are some common mistakes to avoid when handling outside order forms?
Common mistakes to avoid when handling outside order forms include failing to collect complete customer information, not verifying payment methods, and neglecting to communicate deadlines for order submission. Additionally, be cautious about mixing outside orders with regular orders to prevent confusion. Keeping organized records and maintaining clear communication can help mitigate these issues.
