Should you use direct-sale products or pre-sale
brochures for your next fundraiser? We let them fight it out!
1) Fundraising with Direct Sale Products:
How it works: Your group orders an inventory of products; these
products are distributed to your group members who sell the products
directly to their supporters; funds are collected at the point of sale.
|
Pros |
|
|
- Requires
only one contact with individual consumers
- Program
is shorter in length than Pre-Sale because there is no product to
deliver and no returned goods to deal with.
- Usually
a very low retail price per item which results in an easy sale
|
Cons |
|
|
|
- Slight
risk if you over-purchase
- Less
variety of products to offer
2) Fundraising with Pre-Sale Brochures:
How It Works: Your group requests 1 brochure per fundraising
participant. The participants show the brochure to potential supporters.
The supporter selects a product from the brochure which the participant
records on the brochure order form. These order forms are then returned
to JustFundraising.com, who fulfills the order and ships the products to your group. Your group members and volunteers deliver the products to their supporters. Funds can either be
collected at the time of the selection or upon delivery.
