Connecting Schools With Great Fundraising Ideas.

If you have spent any time around a school, you have been exposed to many different kinds of product sale fundraisers. In my time running a summer camp and an elementary school, I have seen my fair share of sales: candles, soup mixes, popcorn, candy, you name it.

Sometimes these products are terrific, and I feel satisfied that parents are getting a high-quality product in return for their financial support. Other times, unfortunately, I do not feel this way.

However, with Chippery Cookie Dough, I truly believe we have an all-around great product, and I also believe that you will agree. continue reading

Today, I’d like to tell you all about a great way to make money for your school.  Product sales have traditionally been very effective in many school settings.  Among the leaders in this industry is Hebert Chocolate. Founded in 1917, Hebert is one of the oldest brands in fundraising today. I recently received a small sampler box of Hebert Chocolate. While I love chocolate myself, my family is wildly enthusiastic about anything at all deriving from the sweetest bean on Earth: the coco bean. continue reading

Cookie dough fundraisers with frozen cookie dough can be a good choice for a school, youth or other group fundraiser. These fundraisers Cookie dough fundraising programs involve selling large tubs or boxes of cookie dough, which can be refrigerated or frozen for later use. The organization takes advance orders and/or prebuys a certain number of cases of the cookie dough and then sells it.

There are many ways to boost the sales of your cookie dough fundraising program. Here are just a few of them:

1. Let your sellers and supporters know ahead of time about the sale. Make sure they know how much their support is appreciated.
2. Create specific goals for the fundraiser. How much money needs to be raised? How many tubs does this equal? How many tubs per person will need to be sold?
3. Set a reasonable time limit for getting all the orders in from participants.
4. Offer prizes for participants who sell the mimimum amount.
5. Create a group challenge or prize program to motivate your sellers.
6. Take the catalogs to work.
7. If your organization is short the minimum order, the organization can fund the difference and sell them later.
8. Use extra cookie dough supply or buy extra to make cookies. Sell cookies at a bake sale, sports game, at school, or anywhere there are people! If your baking oven is near your selling table it’s even better — people can’t resist when they smell the warm aroma of cookies baking.

The cookie dough fundraising program provides full color catalogs to sell from. The group uses catalogs to take orders of the cookie dough, which comes in several varieties.
