Team Fundraisers: Sell Pizza

Team Fundraisers: Sell Pizza

            Team fundraisers are really something that’s popular nowadays because of the huge need of different sports teams for good funds so that they can go on playing the sport that they love. If you’ve been having problems with thinking of a good fundraiser idea that will allow you to earn large amounts of funds without too much effort, then you should do a pizza fundraiser campaign.

            With pizza team fundraisers, you can earn or raise funds in three different ways namely by: selling pizzas per slice; selling pizza discount cards; and selling pizza kits or pizza supplies. Each of these three different fundraising campaign vary in terms of requirements, effort, and profitability. Let’s start discussing the first fundraising option that you can try. When you sell pizza by the slice, you have to buy your products in bulk so that you can get some good discounts for them. When you place in your orders, make sure that you tell your supplier that you want your items to be delivered fresh and hot at your event. Choose a popular pizza parlor that offers really good products so that you no longer have to do a lot of convincing to people when you do your selling. You have to know that you have to pay for your supplies in cash when they get delivered. Selling each one of your slices as close to a 100 percent markup will allow you to earn at least $2 for every $1 in cost that you spend. By having this kind of markup, you can cover for damaged and unsold products. A good tip to follow for this one would be choosing famous flavors such as pepperoni and plain cheese.

            Let’s move on to the discount cards. These kinds of fundraising products are designed to offer great discounts from a single merchant, which is typically a national chain. This typically offers 2-for-1 discounts for every single order that’s made at the merchant’s store and is often priced at $10. Discount cards are good at catching the attention of people not only because of the wonderful discounts that they provide but as well because of the length of time as to how long they can be used by people. Discount cards often last for a year. Offers that are featured in discount cards can vary from a single location to small group of different outlets for a national chain. Look for the best discount card offers so that you can use products that are really easy to sell out to people.

            The last option that you have for this fundraiser idea is selling frozen pizza kits. These are basically do it yourself kits that allow people to make their very own pizzas at home. These are really popular to small kids. Selling these frozen kits is comparable to doing a cookie dough fundraiser because this involves doing an order-taker type of sales campaign. This is also a really good thing to try out because this option offers a good profit margin that ranges from 30 to 40 percent.
