Elementary School Fundraisers: Sell Christmas Trees And Wreaths

Elementary School Fundraisers: Sell Christmas Trees And Wreaths

            Are you in search of good ideas for your elementary school fundraisers? Then, try doing a campaign that involves selling Christmas trees and wreaths. This is the season to be jolly anyway and I'm pretty sure that a lot of people are now looking for Christmas decorations that they would like to embellish their homes with so that they can help make themselves feel the true spirit of this holiday season.

            Elementary school fundraisers that involve a Christmas tree and wreath sale are quite easy to set up because the supplies needed for this are very easy to get. There are a lot of supplies for Christmas trees and wreaths in most areas. In addition, these types fundraising campaigns is an order taker program, which means that your sales volunteers don't need to bring your products along with them when they start roaming the streets to get customers to buy from them. Instead of carrying your actual products, your sales volunteers will be carrying sales brochures and order forms. Make sure that the supplier that you choose offers a good product brochure that contains texts that are easy to understand as well as clear photos of the items that you want to offer to people. If people are interested in what you have to offer, your sales volunteers can then ask them to fill up your order forms. Once you finish the ordering phase of your campaign, you can then set a schedule for deliveries. Inform the people who ordered from you of the date as to when their items will be coming in. Aside from telling your volunteers to do door to door sales, you can also try to setup a booth in a high traffic area in your community or at a spot, which is usually covered by a huge number of people. Good examples of these would be parking lots and playgrounds. Aside from saving you a lot of time and effort from doing a door to door sale, setting up a sales booth in a high traffic place will allow to get your advertising for free as well. This makes the entire process of telling people the news about your fundraiser a lot easier. All you need to do to complement the effect of your venue would be posting signs, making a press release, and sending out emails to people.

            Make sure that your advertisements are lively and colorful. This is a great need especially for flyers and banners. Choose bright and lively colors when you make advertisements as these kinds of shades have the ability to quickly get the attention of people. Aside from making effective advertisements, you also need to allot some time on finding volunteers that'll be able to help you with the task of selling your products; unloading supplies when they come in; and loading the items onto people's cars. Remind your volunteers to bring chain saws as these will be needed while you're trimming lower branches and lower braches.
