Congratulations! That'll be a really nice commission check! What was the fundraiser for? I'd like to hear how you got it and how you ran it. Oh, and don't feel sad...SAT isn't in November this time.

I've been in contact with a local dance company so I'm hoping for something big too.They haven't officially announced anything but word through the grapevine is that it's December and January now.

Congratulations! That's awesome! My dance company did an $1800 fundraiser last February. We'll be doing another in February this year - as long as Feb is still double points!

Are you guys offering it as a traditional PC fundraiser or are you increasing the % with part of your commission, or are you putting it in as a cooking shows and they raffle off the free products?I offered a traditional fundraiser w/also a contribution of part of my commission to my daughter's dance studio, but they haven't taken me up on it. Think they are just used to their system of parents just having to pay for the costumes. I wonder if they don't want to play favorites and have me do a fundraiser if there are other people who are consultants for other companies or if they don't want to deal with fundraisers in general.So that's why I'm curious how you marketed it to these places.

Our studio does several fundraisers. The Pampered Chef one helps them pay for pictures. They do a Sarris fundraiser, and an Oakbrook farms fundraiser, both to help pay for costumes. I offer enough of my commission to make their earnings 20%, plus I offer a reward for highest sales.

I Offer 5% of my commission. The fundraiser was for the dance competition girls. My friends DD was doing comp last yr and she mentioned it to her, last yr was about 1k this yr there were more girls. My DH was kind of bummed to hear how high it was. He knows I dontate some of my money but he keeps thinking what it would have been if it was the 25% in commision.
