Year Long Fundraiser??

[Cindycooks]

Is something like this possible? I graduated from a small private school in NC. As an alumni, I would like to help them out, and they are interested! We would like to focus on the Senior Class for their Project Graduation. I do not have a personal website yet...but this might be my incentive to get one. How long can a fundraiser go on for - such as me starting in the next month or so and continuing it until perhaps the Spring? If customers were to log onto my website - how would it determine that the sales go towards the schools fundraiser? Also, the school has a website - and i was thinking of linking my fundraiser to this - can this be done? One more thing - I am setting up a booth at their Fall Festival, so proceeds would go also go to them. Lots to think about and I need some guidelines! Thanks so much in advance for everyones help!

The problem would be getting their products to them on a timely basis. No one would want to order something at the beginning of that year and wait so long. I guess you could send an order in every time it hist $600 (so they get the higher percentage) or once a month, regardless of % and make it a beat the best month thing. Just trying to think here...

As far as the web orders are concerned: When they log on they fill in a screen stating which show they want the order on and you get an email telling you the order is there.

Thanx Beth...See - thats why I need you guys! You are right - I cant hold orders until the Spring, didnt even think of that. But yes, I could keep it going and just send in orders every month or when it hits $600. After the first month, I should have an idea of how this is going to go anyway.

Linking websites

As far as I know, you can NOT link your website to any other website per Pampered Chef Policies and Procedures. I belong to several yahoo! groups and it is stated that members are not allowed to include The Pampered Chef in their member profile as a hobby or interest or as a cool link. The Pampered Chef prohibits this sort of advertising.

If I'm wrong please someone else chime in.

You are correct but you can include your information on a flyer for a specific event that you are participating in.
