Need Ideas For A School Candle Fundraiser?

Want to run a school candle fundraiser? They don’t cost much—prices range from $10 to $24 apiece—so your lazy students won’t have to sell many to make a big profit. Case in point: if each student sells 5 Earth Candles for $12 each, and you have a group of 20 students, then you can make $600, no hassle! This is a much better fundraising idea than if you got your students to sell chocolate bars—that same 20-member group would have to sell 400 bars, or 20 bars each, to get the same amount of money. And I don’t know about you, but personally I don’t know how many teenagers would be willing to each sell 20 chocolate bars. Plus, you’ll net a cool 50% of the profits!

A school candle fundraiser is also great because candles are easy to sell. Our candles run the gamut of beautiful scents, from floral fragrances to apple aromas. Plus, the neighbours will be touched by the sayings on our Quote and Journey of Faith Inspirational Candles, making them great gift ideas, especially for Christmas and Easter.

Our school candle fundraiser candles make good stocking stuffers, especially with holiday scents like Cinnamon Apple, Spiced Apple, and Cinnamon Buns. Get your little fundraisers to tell this to their customers, and watch sales shoot up—our candles are always good gifts, but they’re also a considerate, non-offensive gift idea for Secret Santa events held at your customers’ workplaces, as well for people they don’t know well, like their bosses.

Not to mention, if your students are in elementary school, there’s something inherently adorable about a cute little kid going from door to door, selling brightly-coloured candles with amazing scents and inscribed with meaningful proverbs. That alone will enable your students to rack up so much money that you won’t know what to do with it.

A School Candle Fundraiser Is A Great Choice

A school candle fundraiser is an ideal choice because, not only are they easy to sell, but they also fit well with students’ purposes. Students can sell them at any time of year, since many of the fragrances fit in well with the holidays. Our Touch of Elegance III collection, for example, features Christmassy scents like Cinnamon Sticks, Apple Spice, and Fresh Baked—perfect for the winter season. Our Earth Candles come with exquisite natural scents—Gardenia, Lavender Mist, Mulberry—making them excellent choices for Mother’s Day. Pumpkin Spice Pie, another fragrance of Earth Candle, should be sold in the fall season, especially around Thanksgiving.

Plus, our candles are all hardy enough not melt in summertime: your students can sell them in May or even over the summer, if you’re preparing your students for an event in September.

Our Journey of Faith Inspirational Candles, with their enlightening Scripture proverbs supplemented beautiful labels naming qualities like “Hope” and “Serve”, are great for catechism students, as well as those who attend Christian schools or are enrolled in religion classes.

On the same note, students who are part of Green Teams and Green Committees should sell one of our best school candle fundraiser: Earth Candles, which are packaged in gift boxes and labels made of recycled materials, making them not only relevant to your cause but also a thoughtful gift idea for those who want to give to their environmentally conscious families and friends. Our Touch of Elegance III candles are also great for students in environmental groups, since they’re made out of pure, naturally blended soy wax and beeswax (you choose which one). Plus, they feature attractive, nature-derived scents like Blackberry Banana, Warm Vanilla, Citrus Grove, and Lilac.
