Clearly the internet has changed things in American culture and society. From the way we shop, to the way we interact, to how we receive information, being connected has become a necessary part of life. And now, with our Online Donation Fundraising system, you can take advantage of the possibilities the internet provides and have your very own online school fundraisers.
This program has completely changed the way you approach school fundraisers by taking what works best with traditional school fundraising ideas and ways to leverage the internet to maximize the amount of money you raise while requiring the least amount of work.
First, what has worked well with non-online school fundraisers? The personal touch of interacting with students and seeing them work to raise money can be a great way to drive sales. Whether people genuinely want to help students or if they are guilted into buying something or they just don’t know how to say know, there is just something about being there in person that gets people to buy from you.
But school fundraisers that use products do have their downsides. The biggest one is sorting and distributing orders. Especially true at large schools with hundreds of students, sorting an order of cookie dough can takes hours and then you have to hope everyone picks up their orders on time.
Another consideration is that many customers are tired of buying the same old overpriced “junk” that they have been buying from school kids for more than a generation. A lot of people have said they would almost rather just donate money than buy another roll of wrapping paper.
The internet allows you do so much more than just ask for donations like you may have done in the past. With our online school fundraiser system we have incorporated a system of donation request cards with a bevy of emailing and tracking tools to help you maximize the amount of money you can raise. The donation request cards can be handed out to friends, family, and neighbors and has instructions for the person to find your schools online fundraiser donation website. This allows you to keep that personal touch that is so important to being successful. But there is also the ability to add email contacts and send customizable emails requesting donations. The system can even be set up to send out reminders to people who haven’t donated yet!
And because the entire school fundraiser is online, you can accept donations from people all over the country. No longer are you restricted to raising money in your local community alone.
