I just enjoyed a week of vacation and it was quite pleasant. Taking some time off allows a rejuvination of spirit and allows one to re-focus.
It's a good thing because there are just a few weeks until school is back in session and the biggest fundraising push of the year is underway! It's an exciting time for us and yes, we do 80% of our business in two months. We get a lot of work done in these next few weeks.
We work tirelessly to satisfy the needs of PTA's, PTO's, principals and administrators, teachers, parents and students alike. Fortunately, we've been planning our fall for quite some time and we are very confident in our ability to deliver.
Has your school been planning ahead for your fall fundraising efforts?
We have certainly noticed that many schools have not decided what they are going to be doing for this fall. The late decisions certainly could be because of confusion of what to do, looking around for new and unique fundraisers, a change in the parent group or perhaps it's just always been that way.
Here is my quick list of things you can do to easily improve your fundraising efforts:
1) Decide now who you will use for your school fundraiser and start planning.
2) Sketch out your marketing plan! Many successful schools begin marketing even before school starts!
3) Start Early! Run your main school fundraiser in the second or third week of school if you can for maximum profits!
4) Make an impact! The more importance you put on your fundraiser, the more important it becomes! Involve anyone you can and remember, a principal is your best ally!
Hopefully you are in a position to help your school in one of more of the above suggestions. We want you to succeed no matter how or who you raise funds with.
