Tips For A Succesful Fundraising

Having been part of thousands of fundraisers,
we at Boas Fundraising have learned that the
most successful sales have several things in common.
Therefore, we offer the following tips to guide you through the process.

Step One: Setting Up The Sale

Choose the program that best suits your needs.

Call Boas Fundraising to set the date for your sale.

We will provide you with brochures for each of your sellers.

Step Two: Taking Orders

Determine the selling period.
Try to allow for at least two full weeks of selling.

Motivate and encourage your sellers.
Your organization and enthusiasm is the key to a smooth,
successful sale.

Collect the order forms and double-check your totals.
Be prepared for sellers to turn forms in late.

Call Boas Fundraising to place your order.
We will do our best to accommodate any small additions
you may have.

Step Three: Receiving and Distributing Your Product

Check the quality and quantity of your order.
We will gladly count every piece of your order with you.
Your signature verifies that you received exactly what you ordered.

Have several volunteers lined up to assist you with distribution.

Do not rush when filling orders and always double-check the order.

Never allow people to start "grabbing" to fill their own orders.
Instead, assign a few select individuals to fill all the orders.

Have your sellers check their orders before they leave the
distribution site.
This will eliminate problems that arise once the product
is in their possession.

Very important! If you are working with a perishable product such
as subs, the product should not be exposed to heat for more than
an hour or so.

As always, the people at Boas fundraising will be there to help you make your sale run smoothly. Feel free to call on us anytime with questions.
