Direct Sales Vs. Order Forms/Taking FundraisingShould
you use direct-sale fundraising products or pre-sale brochures for
your next fundraiser?
1. Fundraising with
Direct Sale Products:
How it works: Your group orders an
inventory of products; these products are distributed to your group
members who sell the products directly to their supporters; funds
are collected at the point of sale.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Requires only one contact with individual consumers
- Program is shorter in length than Pre-Sale because there is no
product to deliver and no returned goods to deal with.
- Usually a very low retail price per item which results in an
easy sale
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cons
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Slight risk if you over-purchase
- Less variety of products to offer
Vs.2. Fundraising with Pre-Sale (order taker) Brochures:
How It Works: Your group requests 1 brochure per fundraising
participant. The participants show the brochure to potential
supporters. The supporter selects a product from the brochure which
the participant records on the brochure order form. These order
forms are then returned to your fundraising company, who fulfills
the order and ships the products to your group. Your group members
and volunteers deliver the products to their supporters. Funds can
either be collected at the time of the selection or upon
delivery.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- No guess work on how much to order, therefore no risk!
- Brochures offer a wide variety of products and range of prices
- With this type of fundraiser it's easy to include parents and
adults in the fundraising efforts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cons
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- More work and time because you must deliver products and often
deal with a few returned goods.
