How to Pick Your Next Elementary Fundraising Program

Looking for tips on how to pick your next elementary fundraising program? Well, you have come to the right place. Go Green Fundraising is the leader in offering elementary school fundraising ideas with healthier and greener products and we work with thousands of elementary schools every year to help them raise the money the need. We have compiled some steps to help your pick your elementary school fundraising program that we believe will help you raise more money than ever before. We call them the 5 P’s and they are Products, Profit, Payment, People and Poll.

Products – While many groups consider profit margin to be the most important thing to consider when picking school fundraisers we have found the products are actually more important. This is because you can have a fundraiser with 99% profit but if the product is something that people aren’t buying you won’t raise any money at all. Go Green Fundraising offers a wide range of products like our coffee fundraiser, organic foods, flower bulbs, and recycled material goods like Smencils that are high quality and easy to sell, not to mention the fact that they are the most earth friendly fundraising products available anywhere.

Profits – Once you have found some great product lines it is time to consider profit potential. Many fundraising programs have a graduated profit margin meaning the more items sold, the higher the profit percentage. Figure a minimum of 1 or 2 items per student as a safe bet for predicting the total number of items your group will sell. Motivated groups can sell upwards of 20 items per student though.

Payment – There are 2 types of fundraisers – Pre Sell and Direct Sell. A Pre Sell fundraiser uses brochures while a Direct Sell fundraiser has you pay for your items up front. Go Green Fundraising offers both types and there are benefits to each so you just need to decide which way you want to go. And you can always call one of our representatives at 877-448-9746 if you have any questions about which method is best for your elementary schools particular situation.

People – This focuses on the customer service you receive from your fundraising company. Go Green Fundraising has real people who answer the phones and emails. We ship orders quickly and accurately. If you have a special request we will try as hard as possible to accommodate it. All of this is to say that we try and offer the best customer service in the business and we believe that this level of service can make your fundraiser go much more smoothly.

Poll – We always recommend that you poll those around you before finalizing your fundraiser decision. Choose 2 or more programs and then ask your fellow participants and potential customers which program they most want to do.
