School Band Fundraisers
Introduction
When it comes to fundraising, school band groups are known for their dedication and energy. Selecting the right fundraiser can harness that enthusiasm and lead to great success. Here, we'll explore three effective fundraisers perfect for medium-sized groups.
1. Citrus Fruit Sales
A popular option involves selling cases of fresh citrus fruit directly from Florida groves. Band members use order-taker brochures to promote items to potential supporters, often through door-to-door sales or merchant tables. This approach works well for groups with enough members to cover entire neighborhoods.
Options and Pricing
Customers can choose from Navel Oranges, Tangelos, Tangerines, Red Grapefruits, and assorted cartons, available in sizes ranging from 10 to 40 pounds. A typical 20-pound order costs around $8, yielding a $4 profit per sale. Keep in mind that prices can fluctuate due to weather and availability.
Seasonal Availability
Ideal for winter fundraising, citrus fruit is available from mid-November through mid-April. Large orders may qualify for discounts and additional bonuses.
2. Christmas Wreaths
Selling Christmas wreaths is another excellent fundraiser, leveraging the season's demand for holiday decorations. This fundraiser kicks off before Thanksgiving with order-taker brochures.
Variety and Pricing
In addition to traditional door wreaths, suppliers offer door swags, mantelpieces, centerpieces, candle wreath packs, and fresh cut holly. Prices range from $17 to $50, with profits of approximately 40% per item sold.
Strategy and Delivery
An effective marketing campaign can significantly boost profits, especially if band members aim for high individual sales targets before Thanksgiving. Wreaths are delivered in sealed bags to maintain freshness, with a minimum two-week lead time for delivery.
3. Coffee Fundraiser
Coffee sales also generate excellent results. Like the other fundraisers, this involves using order-taker brochures for a wide selection of pre-bagged coffee products.
Selection and Pricing
Supporters can choose from over twenty flavors, available in small "dollar bags" or popular half-pound packages. Typically, half a pound of quality coffee costs $3 to produce, with a retail price of $5 to $6. Options include whole bean and ground varieties.
Promotion
Target a regular household staple like coffee and expand with enticing flavors such as Hazelnut, Toasted Almond, Hawaiian Coconut, Butterscotch, or Morning Glory. To maximize success, present offerings at events with large crowds and provide sample tastings.
Conclusion
School bands work hard, and these fundraisers can work just as hard for them. By choosing irresistible options like citrus fruit, Christmas wreaths, or coffee, your band can achieve remarkable fundraising results.
