There's a passive fundraiser called a 'school mall'. Basically, companies like Amazon have an affiliate relationship with the mall. These companies pay a commission of sales referred by the program. Some of this commission is paid back to the group fundraising.
There has been some criticism of information sharing and such. I just wonder though, are schools finding a school mall fundraiser worth the time and effort it takes to promote?
I guess without knowing more personally, I shouldn't judge. What I do know is that the income to a school from this fundraiser is a shadow of the funds raised by a traditional catalog, cookie dough or magazine fundraiser.
If you promote a 'mall' fundraiser before your main Fall fundraiser, you may just find that you lose sales on the main fundraiser as a result.
Ok, until next time...
