Hi everyone,
I was hoping to get some good advice on doing a fundraiser for my organization that is spread out over 5 states in the Northeast. I am donating all of my commission, so the organization will get 30% total.
This is originally how I was thinking of structuring it:
Run it for the month of July. I will chair the main show for tracking purposes and management of ordering. I was thinking along the lines of asking for volunteers to chair ‘mini-shows’ if they have a minimum threshold of sales (I thought $250, maybe it should be higher). Although it is more work for me, the benefits to chairing a show would be 3 fold and might inspire people to collect other orders besides their own personal ones:
1. That host would get free shipping on her order
2. Anyone that orders from her would pay only $4.00 flat fee for shipping
3. She could select one of the host specials (I’ve attached the July Host special form)
The more I poke around this site (I've only ever done two shows, and I'm still in my first 30 days), I see that my logic might be flawed, especially when it comes to the shipping benefits. Am I to understand everybody will pay full shipping charges?
Can someone help me out here, please? What is the best way to structure this. I do have a website.
thanks,
