How to make your fundraiser a huge success

Success with the

Whether your group is big or small, now is the time to gather them together and have a meeting about how to make your a success. Because money is tight for everyone, it is very important for you as the group leaders to involve your members in spreading the word about the benefits that choosing will do helping raise the excitement. Your supporters can help simply by doing something they already do. Search the internet. No extra time or MONEY is needed to make this fundraiser wildly successful.. In the past, candle fundraisers may have done well in your area but now, maybe people's priorities shifting has led to them not wanting to make these purchases. Maybe you previously offered Entertainment Books and neighbors had an extra thirty to forty dollars to spend for the value of the coupons. Now, despite the fact that they still appreciate the value of coupon books, they may not be able to spend more than five to ten dollars to help out your group. Now they can contribute far more dollars to your organization without ANY money out of their pocket. Once you explain this to your community and supporters. Every one of them will want to download your fundraising toolbar.

Always try to involve local businesses!

You could have each member of your group take responsibility for contacting one local business that uses a web site to promote there business. Ask them for a small space with the download link so people can see the fundraiser and download your toolbar right from the business web site. This is great publicity for them and should be included in any info you provide about your fundraiser to the local press and to the people who contribute and support your fundraiser.
Now is the time to DO IT - don't hesitate in starting your campaign.
If you really involve your group or team members and if each takes accountability your can be more successful than any you've every done. Finally, celebrate a job well done. Thank your supporters, and hopefully you will have made more money than you need and can use that for future endeavors (and perhaps for a party for yourselves!)
