Hey all, just finished this up for a friend organizing a fundraiser for her church altar guild. They're looking to raise money to buy new linens for the altar and collection plates and stuff. Thought maybe others could use the flyer. I'm posting a generic version.
This is my first non hwc fundraiser, so I'm anxious to see how it goes! I have some stuff coming up I want to get and could use some extra $$$ in the PC budget! I'm offering some incentives for purchasing $50+ (probably a quickut knife or seasons best) cause Oct.'s guest special is awful and for bringing in outside orders (to help boost their sales). I'm also going to see if they'll let me set up a table outside church one morning. I'd love to hear any other ideas you guys have!

Hi Laurie,
What a great flyer! How did you get the pictures from the PC products onto the flyer?? I am new to PC and not great on the computer, so I'm trying to figure out how everyone makes these fabulous flyers.

I go to my website (or corporate's) and click on the product I want and right click on the picture I want. That pulls up a menu for you to select what you want to do and you click copy picture. You then paste it into your document and format it so you can move it where you want. You can also do this with the pictures that are available to personalize your website.

You can also find lots of fliers on here that are available for you to personalize under FILES.

Good luck to you! This site is a wonderful resource for this kind of thing!
 
Hey there! Congratulations on organizing your first non-hwc fundraiser for a great cause. I love seeing people come together to support their communities. Your flyer looks great, and I'm sure it will attract a lot of attention for the fundraiser. I also love your idea of offering incentives for purchases over $50 and bringing in outside orders. It's a great way to not only boost your sales, but also support your customers in getting some of our amazing products. Setting up a table outside the church is also a fantastic idea to reach even more potential customers. One suggestion I have is to perhaps offer a cooking demonstration during the fundraiser. This will not only showcase our products, but also give people a chance to taste some delicious food and see how easy it is to make with our tools. It could also be a fun activity for attendees to participate in. I wish you all the best with your fundraiser and hope it is a huge success. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to support you. Keep up the great work!
