Are Candy Bar Fundraisers Making a Comeback? (Hint: Yes, They Are!)

If you’re reading this, you’re likely old enough to remember a time when candy bars were pretty much the only fundraiser. As kids, we all toted around our little candy bar carriers at one time or another. And there seemed to always be at least one chocolate bar fundraiser on display at all times in every office in America.

In recent years, however, candy bar fundraisers have taken a seat on the bench in favor of newer, flashier product fundraisers. While this newfound array of creative fundraising ideas is certainly welcome, we’re here to tell you that candy bars are back in a big way. And JustFundraising has raised the bar, so to speak, with the #1 candy bar fundraiser on the market today!

The Problem With Yesterday’s Candy Bar Fundraisers

There were a few issues with candy bar fundraisers that may have contributed to their temporary fall from the top spot. Let’s take a look at what went down.

Candy bar fundraiser fatigue

As we mentioned above, candy bar fundraisers were everywhere for a time. Eventually, fundraising groups had to look for items that would make them stand out from the crowd. Things like candles, cookie dough, and other gourmet treats soared in popularity as a response.

Peanut allergies

Many of the name-brand candy bars were produced in factories that also made products containing peanuts. Since these companies were unable to guarantee that their products were peanut-free, many organizations – schools especially – stopped allowing candy bar fundraisers.

Shrinkflation

If you check out your local corner store, you’ll see that most brand-name candy bars have decreased in size quite a bit, while the price has remained the same. This is called shrinkflation, and the fundraising industry has not been immune to it.

Low profit margins

Fundraiser organizers may have been unsatisfied with the percentage of sales they were able to keep. Especially when paired with rising candy prices. The combination meant lower sales, forcing their teams to work harder for less revenue. Fundraising groups may have turned their attention to event fundraisers instead where they could keep a higher percentage of profits.

Luckily, JustFundraising has been hard at work revamping the chocolate bar fundraiser scene! Read on to find out just how we got to be the #1 candy bar fundraiser, and the best choice for your school, sports team, or nonprofit.
