Having product selection is good but too much will simply add administrative headaches to your fundraiser. In addition, you want to offer prices that are affordable to everyone and you need products that will SELL, so that your supporters will be tempted to buy two or three items each. Based on these criteria, my three (3) favorites would be:

1- For all of those chocolate lovers; Snackin’ in the U.S.A is Unbeatable- All of the items are only $6.00 each and these chocolates have been tested by yours truly to ensure happy taste buds.

2- Worried about products melting? Play it safe! Try the Smart Snacks Program. Besides producing big results, this simple order-taker includes nuts and snacks of all types but no melting chocolate.

3- Everyone misses the cookies Mom used to make- cookie dough is one of my absolute favorites. The Everybody Loves Fresh Baked Cookies fundraiser has produced outstanding results for almost every group that has used it. The 6 page order-taker contains 10 scrumptious flavors for your supporters to choose from, and most can't resist buying at least two. Each tub offers 48 1oz cookies and is priced reasonably between $12 and $14. Your profit starts at 30% and can increase to 56%, depending on the number of tubs your group sells. It's an exceptional fundraiser for both teams and leagues.

We've recently introduced a high quality, but very reasonably priced Candles fundraiser to our line of order-takers. We have added a new candle brochure that will help you raise scents!

Fundraising at Registration with the Scratch & Help cards:
Here's a spectacular way for leagues to raise a lot of funds, quickly and hassle-free…but only some leagues can get away with it.
As the title says, it's called 'Fundraising at Registration' and this is most successfully accomplished with the Scratch & Help program.

Here's how it works:
Firstly, determine the amount of money that your league needs to raise, for example $15,000. If there are 500 players in your league, that is an average of $30 profit per player that must be raised. The cost per Scratch & Help card is $20, therefore you would need to charge each player/parent a $50 fundraising fee ($30 per child + $20 cost per card) at registration.

• The fundraising objective is planned and reached

• All fundraising is accomplished on one or two days of the registrations

• No following-up on coaches, administrators, players, and parents throughout the season for various fundraising projects

• Everyone can concentrate on their favorite sport NOT on fundraising

• The players/parents can now make their $50 fundraising fee back AND make an extra $50 (each card raises $100) which can go to their individual team or they can keep it to help counteract their registration fees.

As mentioned above, some leagues will have difficulty implementing this dream fundraising plan because many leagues refuse to force an obligatory fundraising fee and prefer to keep their fundraising activities completely optional. On the other hand, numerous leagues have already implemented a forced fundraising fee where the players/parents pay $40 up front for a case of candy bars, then re-sell it to make their money back.
