Send out Promo Letters to the chairpersons.

Day 10:

Our Town Square Catalog

• High quality items

• Affordable price points; majority at $19.99 or below

• Updated on a seasonal basis

• Encourages impulse and holiday buying

How the Program Works

Raising the Money:

• You provide all catalogs and order forms at no cost to the organization

• You supply each representative with a catalog and order form

• Representatives show the catalogs and take orders and payment

• All payments go to the Organization name

How the Program Works

Fulfilling the Orders:

• All orders are consolidated and presented you, along with 50% of proceeds

• You fill the order (allow 10 working days)

• You are on hand to personally take delivery of the order and conduct a quality control inspection

• The Organization handles distribution of the merchandise to the donors

Other Options to Consider

Big Value Book Fundraiser:

• Everything priced at $19.95 or less

• Great for use in lower and middle-income areas, due to low price point

Other Options To Consider

Christmas Collection Fundraiser:

• Needs to be timed for holiday buying

• Capitalizes on the higher spending of the holiday season

Other Options To Consider

Student “Gift Shop”:

Selected merchandise on display

• Students shop for gifts, using money donated by parents

• Offers students a chance to “buy” something at an affordable price

Whatever Your Choice…

Our goal is to make this your most successful Fund-Raising Campaign ever.

We are long-term focused, and we know that our performance on this

Campaign will lay the foundation for a solid, ongoing business relationship.

All we ask is the chance to prove how well our program works!

Dear Fund-Raising Chairperson Name;

Is Organization Name getting the highest possible return out of its fund-raising efforts?

Your Company Name specializes in fund-raising campaigns that do two things:

1. Make more money for your organization;

2. Provide donors with high-value, quality products in return for their donation.

Your Company Name offers donors a choice of thousands of delightful and appealing gift items at incredibly affordable prices. What a nice break from the standard run of candy or wrapping paper! These are the kinds of items found in the finest gift shops, yet not only will your donors enjoy a very competitive price, they’re getting something really nice in exchange for their donation.

It’s a win-win, because happy, motivated donors tend to contribute more!

I am eager to show you how Your Company Name can help you make your next fund-raiser the most successful ever. I’ll be giving you a call next week to set up an appointment, but if you’d like to talk sooner please feel free to contact me at Your Contact Information.

I look forward to discussing what I hope is the first of many successful fund-raising campaigns for Organization Name

Sincerely,

Follow-Up Letter

Dear Fund-Raising Chairperson Name;

I just wanted to drop a quick note to congratulate you on the success of your fund-raiser, and to thank you for allowing Your Company Name to play a role in that success.

It was certainly a great pleasure working with you and your team, and very gratifying to see such positive results.

It’s my hope that you’ll continue to consider Your Company Name for future fund-raising efforts. Along with the model we’ve used for your campaign, we have a number of other highly effective models we’d love to put into action on your behalf. In fact, we can show you an easy way to raise funds utilizing the sale of gift cards, which calls for no product handling or distribution on your part at all!

If you’d like to learn more about any other fund-raising ideas we have, please contact me at Your Contact Information. I’d love to hear from you, and hope to have the chance to work together again.

Sincerely,
