Elementary School Fundraising Ideas: Sell Chocolate Candies

            One example of elementary school fundraising ideas that suits best for your fundraiser campaign is to sell candies. Selling candies like chocolate candies is a very good advantage to your sales campaign since most people especially children loves chocolates. In this article, I will show you the tips and tricks on how to manage and organize a sales campaign properly through selling these delicacies.

You have to always remember that no matter how good your elementary school fundraising ideas are, there are still chances of failure unless they are managed and organized properly. First tip is to check the quality of the chocolate candies from your fundraising company before selling them to your customers. Quality is what your customers want for their purchased products. You don’t want your chocolates to taste awful and break the reputation of your fundraiser campaign so make sure there are of good quality. Consider buying your supplies from well-known fundraising companies since you’ll be assured that their products are high quality. Besides the quality, prices are also considered. Low priced high quality products must be prioritized since this will make your sales campaign a lot easier. You can ask your fundraising company about discount prices on bulk orders; this can minimize the expenses and maximizing profit of your sales campaign.

            Next is to search for a good location to sell your products. You can’t just pick a random spot and sell your products. Choose a location with the highest possible traffic where most people usually go or stay. Choosing these kinds of locations are vital to your sales campaign since more people will notice your products and your fundraiser. These places can be drug stores, convenient stores, parks and malls. When setting-up your stall, you must have a big signboard that has the name of the product you’re selling and the cause why you’re raising funds for your campaign. This will help in effectively promoting your fundraiser to the public. Organize a team of sales volunteers, they will help you in further promoting your fundraiser and at the same time sell your products to your customers.

            Before sending your sales volunteers to sell your products, you have to teach them a good sales script to promote your products and your fundraiser properly. You can teach them by role playing. Through this, you can show them the right moves on how to persuade and convince their customers to be part of the cause through purchasing your product. In order to make sure that they are working hard, you have to motivate them through rewards or celebrations. Whenever your sales are good, celebrate for it with your team so they will strive to reach the main goal.

Rather than selling chocolate candies, you can also look for alternative products to sell just in case you customers don’t like your first offer. One good example for an alternative is discount cards. You can get these products from your local fast food chain or any restaurant available. This is a great deal for your customers since it offers different discounts like buy-one-take-one.
