Smencils - AIM's Top Fundraiser

How Can Smencils Help Your Fundraising Project

Choosing the right fundraising ideas for your fundraiser is a very important skill that you must learn as a fundraising organizer. Not all fundraiser is the same that’s why you need to look out for the best fundraiser ideas in the industry that would be appropriate for your team’s capabilities. One of the best fundraising ideas in the industry today would be selling smencils to your customers. This unique and profitable product is considered golden in the fundraising industry because of its simplicity and effectiveness in gaining funds in no time.

The first thing that you need to do in choosing your product for your fundraiser is to understand the whole concept of the product and what type of customers is it aimed for. Since smencils are still considered a pencil, the best people to offer these products would be students and teachers. These people are the ones that are using pencils everyday that’s why it is highly recommended to offer these products to them. You should concentrate your offer on these people because they are the ones that have a high chance of buying your products. Of course you can still offer your scented pencils to other people but your main customers should be students and teachers only. The scented nature of these unique pencils makes them very appealing to students especially the peppermint scented ones. It has been shown in numerous studies that the peppermint scent actually increases the concentration of anyone who smells it making scented pencils very ideal for students and teachers alike. Aside from the scent, these pencils are also environment friendly since their shafts are made from used newspapers thus saving trees in the process. You can even see fine prints in the shafts of these pencils as you sharpen them. These one-of-a-kind pencils also come in different scents such as watermelon, bubblegum and apple scent. This gives your customers a wide variety of choices in selecting which pencil would they like to buy. Most suppliers sell these products in buckets which contains over 100 pencils and cost very cheaply. Each pencil can be bought at about $0.5 apiece and you can sell them at around $1.00 per piece. This makes the product very profitable and saleable to your customers. Another advantage of selling this merchandise is that they are considered a consumable-type product. This means that when your customers have already used up their scented pencils, they would buy again from you. This also further means that you have a steady flow of income which is good for your fundraising campaign.

Aside from selling scented pencils to your customers, you can offer other school supplies such as scented bookmarks that would greatly compliment your previous product. Scented bookmarks, like scented pencils, also give off distinct aromas that students and teachers would love. You can even offer these products in packages so that you can easily dispose your goods in no time. Offering in product packages is a good strategy to utilize especially if your products are related to one another such as pencils and bookmarks.
