One really smart way to boost the success of your fundraising program is to schedule fundraising events that accompany your sale. These events are designed to inform participants about the fundraisers and to get them motivated about selling. Most groups will host some kind of kickoff event before the sale begins so that the sellers know why they are fundraising, what their goals are, and when the money needs to be turned in. But some groups are finding that having multiple events can dramatically increase their profits and can even help with finding new fundraising ideas. So what are some fundraising event ideas that you can use to do the same?
Obviously the kickoff event is important because it lays the groundwork for the rest of the fundraiser. But if you really want to take things to the next level it makes a lot of sense to have at least one event during the fundraiser and one once the program concludes.
The idea behind having one or more fundraising events during the program is that it helps keep everyone lose their initial excitement and then your sales might tank. These events are also an excellent time to update everyone on your progress towards your goals. You can even use our free fundraising thermometer focused on the task at hand. If you just pass out brochures and let your group members loose, they can to constantly update participants throughout the fundraising program.
While the post fund raiser event doesn’t serve to boost sales, it can seriously help with getting the orders organized and distributed and can also serve as a celebration of a successful fundraiser. As anyone who has ever done a fundraiser will tell you there is a lot of work involved in raising money and it is a very nice touch to have an appreciation party once everything is wrapped up.
