Here's what I did..a teacher friend of mine, referred this girl to me back in March. She wanted to do on line orders and gather other book orders. I made her some cute postcards through vista (of course) and we distributed them. She started gathering orders end of March and beginning of April. Then she decided to do an in home show end of April...we turned it into a May show. From her show, 2 other gals that are on her "team" for the 3 day walk are now doing shows both in May...I hope theirs are even half as good as hers...I will be jumping.
Then I have 5 different people doing May orders for their relay for life teams...Not sure how those will all go...
I offered 17% for sales under 600.00 and 21% for those over 600...
They were thrilled with this...
 
Thank you for sharing your ideas and congratulations on a great fundraiser! I have a VBS fundraiser on Sunday. It would be such a blessing to have that kind of total!
 
Way to go girl!!!
 
Good job -- I have one coming up at the end of May -- hopefully it will be over $1000.
