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.
