How You Can Help Raise Funds For Your School, Favorite Charity Or Society? By Shopping!
The members of most groups are called upon from time to time to help raise funds for their organisation.
Usually, the bulk of the fundraising work is done by a very few (and more often than not, by the same few!) who do all of the administration and day to day running of the organisation.
There is a method of utilising the marketing expertise of some of the leading direct selling companies in your country, which would assist in raising the funds required and in some cases, provide a constant cashflow.
Some of the schemes available, are easy to implement and administer, involving little input and low running costs.
Obtaining the services of these companies is very straight forward, most companies have representatives in your local area, who would be more than willing to assist in setting up the scheme and in the initial stages providing all the materials necessary to run it efficiently and more importantly profitably.
The basic scheme would follow this strategy.
Products are advertised to members, usually via a catalogue or samples.
Orders are placed by members, friends, relatives, work colleagues and customers using your services.
A pre-agreed commission from the order is then given to your organisation, on average it would be between 10% - 33% on all orders taken.
The products are then distributed to the customers.
The most successful schemes, are when the products offered are household goods or everyday items.
This would involve your members changing their shopping habits slightly, in some cases they may already be buying the products elsewhere.
So in this instance, the profits would be coming back to the organisation.
Once up and running, depending on the company you are using, it may be possible to have other organisations ordering from you and thereby increasing your commission.
You may already be aware of similar schemes up and running, but thought it required too much organisation for it to be effective for your own fundraising ideas.
It is a very easy fundraising method, which is proving to be a success with a number of organisations, including churches, scouts, football clubs, charities, sports clubs and schools.
Details of companies offering these schemes are available in your local papers.
