Pampered Chef Fundraiser Vs. Other Fundraiser

In summary, Tara shares that the percentage offered by PC is very low compared to other fundraiser companies, but they offer a guarantee on their products. She also offers a $3 per booking fee, a $3 per class incentive, and $100 in free items to the highest selling kid in the class or school. Debbie shares that Usborne Books, GTG, and MK are all set up pretty much the same as PC. They offer a hostess benefits/profit gets cut to 15%, and the consultant's commission gets cut to 15%. They also offer a guarantee on their products, a lower price range than other companies, and a variety of products priced lower than $5.00, $10.00, or $25.

How does the PC fundraisers differ from other FR in terms of what the organization can earn? I think 10-15% is really low. How do we stack up against Mary Kay and other fundraisers? Anyone know? I have a meeting with an owner of a competitive cheerleading gym next week and they are currently doing a MK fundraiser. How can I sell him on a PC fundraiser for later in the year?:confused:

I just did a HWC fundraiser with a friend of mine who does Gormet to Go (she also just signed as a consultant for PC) and anyway...GTG gives 50%, but that is 50% of $4 food mixes...that's only $2 a product, I think the total was $64 for the ACS and she sold roughly 34 mixes. Now, I sold $645 in products (only 11 orders) and at 15% that was $99. So, just because it's "only" 15% doesn't mean that the amount will be low. I would rather have 15% of a 50.00 item than 50% of a $4 item. I don't know about MK...but that is my 2 cents on fundraisers in general.
 
Here are some things to sayWhen it comes to fundraisers, the percentage offered by PC is very low compared to other fundraiser companies (candy, gift wrap, knick nacks, etc), BUT....
They way I try to market these fundraisers is by letting these people know that with a PC fundraiser they are purchasing an item they will be using for years to come, plus a guarantee on all of our products!
We also have so many products priced lower than $5.00, $10.00, or $25.00 so that anyone can order and help their organization out no matter what type of budget they have.
Many times people order from kids at school to help them out but honestly who would pay $10 for a calendar or $10 for a tin of popcorn or candy. And that's cheap items I am listing as an example. Some of those fundraiser catalogs are expensive and for items that aren't practical.
PC fundraisers also offer $3 per booking and in return hosts who book a show walk away with hundreds of dollars in FREE items. There is something for everyone in our catalogs. These items make great gifts for any occasion and they will have a PC consultant always available to take their orders!!
I also offer incentives to the highest selling kid in the class or school and hopefully you will enlarge your circle of hosts!!

The only one I know for sure is Usborne Books. They're set up pretty much the same as us...the hostess benefits/profit gets cut to 15%, and the consultant's commission get's cut to 15%.

That's the thing that upsets me. Our regular Hosts earn about 25%, then we earn 20% or more. That equals out to 45%. When you combine how much the organization gets and how much we get, that totals 30%...somethings not right about that.

That's really the only thing that perturbs about TPC, and I choose to not talk about fundraisers. I've done a couple, but always end up giving away what little percentage I make. I may be limiting myself, I know, but it's a sticking point with me.

There have been some neat "alternative" ideas, like selling the small batter bowls already filled with goodies that liked and I may try this fall. We'll see.

HTH

P.S. I'm looking for the batter bowl idea right now...
 
Great ideas!!Hey Nikked,

Those are some great ideas!! I love the Gift certificate Fundraiser. The Classic batter bowl idea is great too.

The raffle idea is great. Selling tickets is a great way to make money!

I would also try a cookbook fundraiser, and maybe even print up items from PC that are either under $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 and then everything else. That way it makes it easier for those who just want to help out but not spend too much money.

I would love to try these ideas out. If anyone has tried these please let us know how it worked out!!

Debbie
 
I got this idea off of this web site and I changed a few things.

It may work for someone

Thank you for sharing these!
 
Fall/Winter Changeover PaperworkI don't know if anyone noticed, but on the email in Weekly Bites a few weeks ago regarding the changeover paperwork for the fall, there were a list of items that we are currently using that WILL be changing. The Fundraiser Flyer was listed. I don't know about you, but in my mind that's surely going to mean good changes coming :)
