Elementary School Fundraiser Ideas: Smencils Smell Good
Are you hungry for superb elementary school fundraiser ideas that will lead you to sweet success at the end of your campaigns? Well, you’re in good luck because I’m going to show you a really good idea in this article. Have you heard of smencils? These are absolutely stunning because they have changed the way young kids look at writing. Smencils are also referred to as scented pencils and smens.
A lot of people have already included these in their list of elementary school fundraiser ideas so why don’t you do the same thing? Based on the popularity of scented pencils alone, you can really tell that these will sell out really well. What are smens exactly? These are pencils that are made from recycled newspaper and other materials. The main thing that makes these really unique and interesting is the scent applied on them. Smens are made with a variety of scents so people can use a different one every day. Like regular types of pencils, smens are also made with erasers on their tips. The different types of tasty scents applied on scented pencils include bubble gum, tropical blast, grape, cinnamon, orange, and water melon. Take note there are tons of other scents out there. The ones that I just mentioned are just examples of the most popular ones. There’s an even unique scent, which has been said to be useful in helping increase the concentration of students. This is peppermint.
Since smens are made solely from recycled materials, you can also use these to raise awareness while you’re raising funds at the same time. Even the tubes where these are placed in are made from corn starch that’s environmentally friendly. Let’s go to how you’re going to raise funds with these cool pencils. Each pencil offers a profit margin of 46 percent. Smens are supplied in boxes that contain 50 pieces each. Every smens pencil costs $1. Aside from selling scented pencils alone, you can also try offering DIY kits to your customers so that they can get the chance to make their own sets of smelly (in a good way) pencils.
Scented pencils are really easy to store as well as to sell out. In fact, you might discover that you won’t find the time to store some stocks of these as they will run out really fast. The important thing you need to consider when you’re doing a smens fundraiser though is the fundraising company from whom you’ll be ordering your supplies from. Get a company that offers low prices for their products as well as one that provides useful sales materials, which your sales volunteers can use to easily convince people to buy from them. Do some good canvassing so that you can determine which fundraising company has the best offer. Compare prices from different suppliers. You can easily do this online as most of fundraising companies nowadays already have websites.
There are a lot of scent based school fundraiser ideas you have listed, but taste and smell is highly personalised and subjective, so there would be safer routes to go down. But still it's a new idea that I haven't come across before and the margins to raise funds looks really good so it's a good idea I will consider. Thanks
