GET ORGANIZED
Organization is the key to the most successful fundraising campaigns.
Fundtastic Fundraising will provide you with quality fundraising products and will assist you in making your event a great success.
Consider these fundraising tips to help make your campaign run smoothly:
- Select a campaign coordinator who will be the key point of contact for the administration of your campaign.
- Define your campaign goals -- how much money do you want to raise?
- Establish how many participants will be selling as part of your campaign team.
- Based on your campaign goals, set sales targets for each sales "volunteer".
- Recruit as many volunteers as possible, remembering that "many hands make light work".
- Ensure that your volunteers are committed to your campaign.
- Provide volunteers with a briefing of your campaign goals, what the money is being raised for etc. -- potential customers may want to know this information.
- Put together a campaign schedule that includes the following dates:
- product order date
- campaign announcement to your team of fundraising volunteers
- sales campaign duration
- deadline for return of fundraising money
- announcement date for campaign results
- Create some "buzz" with your sales team as well as your target market by doing some pre-campaign promotion.
- Remind your sales "volunteers" about the importance of safety!
- Your sales "volunteers" will find it much easier to sell if they believe in your organization and your campaign goals and if they make the entire experience fun!
- It's much easier for sales "volunteers" to warm-up by selling to family, friends, work associates or neighbours.
