Smencils Smell But They Don't Stink Because They Smell Like Money!


Smencils, The Smelly School Fundraising Sensation




There are a variety of methods to get money for your group, school or non-profit organization. This article will be aimed primarily at school groups and how they might hit their financial needs.

Of course there are roughly as many ways to fundraise as there are people. Nevertheless, not all of those methods are as profitable as some might believe. So when you narrow down your list to "good and effectual" fundraisers you are left with a reasonable list of options. Smencils Come in 10 Flavors would make that list.

Smencils are a bit different than the established $1.00 Candy Bars that have been around in fundraising for so many years. There are certain aspects of it that make for a different reaction from students and parents alike. To begin with, they are not fattening! Actually, that is a huge positive in today's environment. The other is that because they are made out of recycled newspaper they are a Green Product. Students are inundated daily about this kind of thing and actually get excited that they can now do their schoolwork without sacrificing another tree!

But that goes without saying the best and most exciting part of Smencils is that they smell. There must be something about all these factors combined that draw out an emotional reaction from students and parents alike. I can not explain it, but I can simply tell you it is there. This can be noted by the single fact that you can go onto Youtube today and do a search for Smencils and you will find student made videos about Smencils! I have been in the fundraising business since 1986 and have never seen anything like this before. From elementary age students to high school age, it seems Smencils are making a big bang.

It is no miracle that groups that sell Smencils, sell out of them quickly. Many students will buy and collect all of the flavors that are offered.

With that said, let's get to fundraising with Smencils. The first thing you need to do is to decide how much money you need to raise and decide how much of that goal you aim to raise with your Smencil fundraiser. You can do this by dividing the what you need to make in profit by $25.00 to figure with the number of buckets of 50 smencils that you need to sell to hit your goal. Divide that number by the number of sellers in your group and make sure that you don't over order. I always recommend that you under order. If sales are going strong just order some more. Never order more than 2 or 3 buckets (150) of smencils per student.

Typically, a student can sell out of a bucket of smencils in one day at school. Many students like to buy one of every flavor. What student wouldn't want a pencil that breaks the boredom of daily life at Ye Old School?
