Set Your Smencils Fundraiser Right

Set Your Smencils Fundraiser Right

 

            Smencils are undoubtedly one of the easiest and fastest fundraising products to sell. These smelly (in a good way of course) pencils have really made a huge amount of change in the way students and people in general, view the task of writing. In the past, writing used to be really bland, dull, and boring for kids. They had to this for long hours every time they attend their classes in school. However, a fun factor was added to writing when scented pencils or smens were invented.

           

            If want to do a Smencils fundraiser, you need to take note of a couple of tips. One of which would be setting your fundraising campaign right. What I mean by this is that you need to make sure that you do all of the necessary preparations that you must to go over so that you can assure that the different components of your campaign as well as all of the members of your team of volunteers can function well when you wave the checkered flag and get things started. If this is your first time to do an elementary school fundraiser, then allow me to teach you the basics of how you can properly organize and arrange your upcoming fundraising campaign. Before you send you send your sales volunteers out to sell smens or scented pencils, you need to spend some time to organize and arrange the different parts of your campaign.

 

            The first you and your members must do is to determine the amount of money or funds that you need to raise. In addition, determine the exact time when you’re going to need the money that you raise. Once you get to determine these things, you can now lay down your goals. Fundraising goals are often based on the total amount of funds that a certain group needs to make. When you set your goals make sure that you add in an estimate of the costs that you’re going to need to get your fundraiser started. Planning early for a fundraising campaign is a really good idea so make sure that you lay down your preparations at least a month in advance. This way, you can get everything ready without having to do things in a rush as this will most likely lead you to committing errors in the end. By doing your preparations in advance, you will have enough time to get your products or scented pencils lined up, your campaign scheduled correctly, and your ads and fundraising letters written well. Next, you need to set the starting and ending dates of your project. Setting a deadline to follow gives you a good amount of pressure that will enable you and your group of volunteers to be pumped up to get everything done correctly and as soon as possible. After this, you can now contact different fundraising companies from whom you can get your supplies of smens from. Choose a company that offers prize programs as these can serve as a good way of motivating your sales volunteers to work hard to make lots of sales.
