tips & tricks - promoting your fundraiser - keys to success 

 TEST

1.         Keep copies of the order forms and invoices
Always keep copies of the order forms that you send to your fundraising company.

2.         Recruit & appoint adult volunteers ahead of time.
This will make the distribution of the raffle books to the children/participants more efficient. Your appointed helpers will assist you with the distribution, recording and collection of all raffle tickets and monies.  Fundraising Adventures provide you with Raffle Distribution and Tally Sheets to help you keep track of distributed & returned tickets and money.

3.         Watch for hidden costs
Don’t let your school/organisation’s profits disappear because of hidden costs. The Fundraising Adventures raffle package covers all costs including: -

• First, Second, Third & *Fourth Prizes  (Red Pack includes 3 prizes only)

• Professionally printed tickets in the name of your organisation

• Incentive Prizes for your participants to encourage and motivate your ticket sellers.

• Coordinators success guide including sample letters to parents & participants

• Ticket distribution sheets to enable you to keep a record of distributed & returned books and money

• Posters to help promote your raffle

• Professional & courteous advice from experienced fundraising consultants.

• FREE bonus books

• Shipping and handling of all raffle books and raffle prizes

4.         Give yourself & your group lots of time to prepare.
Select your fundraising program early.  This will give you lots of time to plan.

5.         Timing
Make sure to stagger the various fundraisers to avoid flooding your potential consumers and to avoid competing with other fundraisers.

6.         Set up specific dates and stick to them
If you avoid setting clear target dates the campaign tends to drag on and often without direction.  Fundraising Adventures provide with an easy to follow ‘TO DO LIST’. All you need to do is follow it dating and initialing every step.

7.         Identify families and participants that do not want to be involved
If you have families who constantly refuse to take part or return product issued to them for fundraising purposes, why not send them a letter asking them if they would like to take part.  This avoids discrimination and an opportunity to decide if they would like to take part without feeling embarrassed. (Just ask your fundraising consultant for a copy of the letter)

8.        Don’t over order
It is much better to under order than over order.  We suggest that you only order one raffle book per family.  A small number of people will return unsold books and these can then be re-distributed to families who wish to sell more raffle tickets.

9.         Be Pro-Active

Don’t just sit back and hope that the fundraiser will go well without your input.  IT WON’T.  Be sure to follow our ‘TO DO LIST”
