I didn't explain very well. I...Great comment! I didn't explain very well. If you are going to sell $10k, then a BMX show is great! The reason I wrote this was because I saw a school with sales of $700 offer a limo ride. Seems like they had to lose money on that deal.

My school ...Jay, I totally disagree with you 100%. My school did a bmx show this past year and dumped the "junkarrific" prizes program and got more kids to participate and increased our sales nearly $10,000! The $400 we spent as a board on the bike show was totally worth the investment! We as parents are tired of the cheesy prizes and with the big event actually got more kids to participate and had them sell less. Our prize program stopped at 40 items. No parents are selling any more than that and many were relieved that little Johnny didn't come running home bugging them to sell 200 items for a Wii. Instead they ran home and asked their moms and dads to sell only 5 items to go to the event.<br /><br />For what it is worth...I think you are missing the boat. You don't take profit percentage to the bank, you take MONEY to the bank.<br /><br />Peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
