What is the best type of fundraiser?
Many people ask this question and I wish there was a simple answer. The truth is that some groups do better with some fundraisers while others don't.
There are many things to consider when choosing which idea or company is the best fit for you group.
- How many participants are you going to have?
- Should we do an order-taking program or direct sales fundraiser.
- What about shipping, is it free? How long until the product gets delivered.
One of the most over looked aspects of fundraising is the motivation factor. If you can motivate your sellers and provide a good product or service to your supporters you should have a winner.
Basically there are a few types of fundraisers that companies offer.
- Direct Sales/Product
- Brochure/Order-takers
- Scratch Cards
- Discount Cards
Most can be used for any group, however some will be more suitable for certain groups than others depending on your needs and resources.
