Just got this from a gal I met the other day...

Please send me more information on how the Pampered Chefs works. I need to see if we can use it as a fundraiser for Girl Scouts.

I need a good response to hook her -- maybe some flyers and info of some sort -- help????
 
Remember that each council is different. Some let troops do fundraisers whenever, some only allow it after the official ones (candy and cookie sales, calendars, etc.) are over.

A good thing to do would be to tie it into earning a badge, so the girls have more interest in it.

There are lots of folks around here who have more ideas than I do...
 
If they let you do it the girls will actually make more from our fundraiser then they do buy selling the cookies. Definitly tie it in with a cooking badge like Ann said
 
Find out because if you can...run with it!

Our council won't let us and I am the troop leader:(
 
I did a junky spreadsheet with microsoft works that I can't seem to attach here, but basically, here's my deal...

10 participants each collecting
$50 in orders (1-2 orders), $50 profit
$100..$150
$150..$225
$200..$300

25 participants
$50 in orders (1-2 orders), $187.50 profit
$100..$375
$150..$562.50
$200..$750

you can offer incentives to each girl when they reach a certain level of sales..a girl scout t-shirt if they collect over $100, or whatever; give the best seller a special prize; make sure to tell them about the booking bonus and give the one who collects the most bookings a special prize too!

I just started my first fundraiser and have a second one kicking off in March. What I'm going to do for my March Fundraiser since it's for a daycare is buy the Kids Apron and Chef's hat as a prize for the top seller and the cookie cutter set for the second highest seller. I'm going to try and buy a couple sets this month before they go away.

I found that when I explained that Pampered Chef doesn't raise their prices for fundraisers like other DSC's do and that PC pays the commission themselves.....that was a BIG seller! They couldn't believe it. I stressed to them that PC makes fundraisers more affordable for the people who will be buying.

Just wanted to remind you that the Kids Apron and Chef's hat and cookie cutter set will not be available after the end of February as it is on the discontinued list. You may want to get it now while you can.
