You should see fundraising samples before you decide on your next school fundraiser!

If there is any possible way, you should receive fundraising samples before you make your school fundraising decisions.

There are notable differences in product quality and packaging depending on what fundraisers and fundraising companies you choose for your group.

Yes, there are some pretty standard fundraising products but not all fundraising products are the same. Getting samples will ensure that overall product and packaging quality is there across the board!

You may notice small items look big as in the mirror image above. You may also notice that some items do not offer the kind of value your customers would anticipate.

Pay attention to these factors:

1) Products should be of sufficient quality to not warrant complaints.
2) Consider the retail prices - does the sample provide value to the customer?
3) Do you get the impression the packaging adds value to the items?
4) Do you feel any of the items are mis-represented in the catalogs or online?
5) Does one companies samples seem better than others in an overall sense?

The quality of a company will in some way be represented by their samples they send. What you see is what you get is most likely to be true when it comes to fundraising samples.

School Fundraising - Back to Offering Quality, Value and Making it Special!

It's about time we return to the days when everyone supported school fundraisers!

Believe it or not, there was a time in the not to distant past where schools could do very little in terms of marketing and still sell a ton of stuff.

When I was growing up, it seemed that everyone participated in the limited fundraising our schools did. There was a clear goal and when all was said and done, a noticeable benefit was delivered to every student. There weren't too many fundraisers and so when the school asked for something, the community rallied around the cause.

Let's get back to the glory days of product fundraising!

As a fundraising company, we will continue to improve quality and value across the board.

Schools will limit the numbers of fundraisers they do throughout the year while focusing their efforts only on the fundraisers that raise the most.

This is the plan folks... We'll get there!
