Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to Pampered Chef consultants involved in fundraising efforts or those seeking to understand how to navigate product issues within their sales processes.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned.

However, if people do place order's for the item's that are on stop sell, you can keep a list of them and when they come available again, turn it it into another fundraiser with just those items.

Just a thought.

Ann I know what you mean I did alot with PTA for elementry school and with cookie dough . I can't belive people buy it for 14.00 and it dodn't even make alot of cookies. Then the day it is to be picked up they forget so everyone is bringing it home to put it in the freezer.
That;s how I got this Fundraiser I said I would do everything for them . SOOOOOOO it has cost me alot , Cost of Catalogs, copies, and enevlopes and stuffing all the enveoples ect BUT I am hoping for an unbeliveable PAYCHECK , so its worth it
See if they would try it for the Holidays everyone always looks for another way to make money
I will e-mail you the letters ect that I used just let me know

Well if you don't mind me asking how is this going. My son's school is looking for a Spring fundraiser. I'm thinking about doing this but still not sure. There is about 450 students in his school. So any suggestions would be a great help for me. I've got to give my answer by the end of October.
