Optimal Fundraiser Time Frame: Finding the Perfect Balance to Maximize Success

[Shonda1107]

What is the standard time to keep a fundraiser going? 1 week, 2? I'm assuming too soon limits the sales options and too long loses the focus.

I would do 2 weeks. That seemed to work for me. Anything sooner and they won't push it too hard ( I would think) and anything longer they lose interest.

That's just my thoughts on it.

I've done a couple and we left them open 2 weeks. It's short enough to create a sense of urgency, but not so long that people start wondering "where's my stuff?"

I have one that will go for 4 weeks....but...the group has a good chance at keeping momentum up. They are raising $$ for a sports trip in America......that is BIG motivation....the parents are also motivated b/c they don't want to fork out $$ for plane tickets.

Hi there! As a pampered chef consultant, I have found that the standard time to keep a fundraiser going is typically around 2 weeks. This allows enough time for potential customers to hear about the fundraiser and make a purchase, but also keeps the timeline short enough to maintain focus and urgency. Of course, every fundraiser is unique and may require a different timeline, so it's important to assess the specific goals and needs of each individual fundraiser. I hope this helps! Happy fundraising!
