How Does the Heartland Goodies & Gifts Spring Fundraiser Work?

• Request your Brochures - Call us or complete a Fundraising Purchase and Reservation Agreement and return it to us by fax to 410-630-7080 or scan/email to deb@best-fundraising-ideas.com. We will ship 1 brochure, order form, and collection envelope for each of your participants who will ask their family, friends, and neighbors to buy items from the brochure. Orders are taken and money is collected. We offer an electronic payment option for your supporters besides cash sales.

• Participant Letter - We will customize a participant letter to include why you are fundraising, your goal, closing date, whom to make checks payable to, if applicable, and whom to contact if any participants have questions. The letter will include the steps for a participant to register, the online store web address, your Group ID, tips for promoting the fundraiser through email, text, social media, and instructions for your customers to place orders.

• Fundraising Goals - Review your goals with your members and set a minimum number of items for each participant to sell. In addition to showing the brochure to co-workers, friends, and family, we suggest asking your participants to email 30-40 contacts, send texts, and post on all available social media to purchase directly with the seller and/or share the link to purchase online. Supporters can pay your organization by cash, check, or cash app. You choose. We also provide electronic payment by phone.

• Promoting your Online Store - Your organization can raise even more money with our online store by offering hundreds of assorted items and donation options. Online sales will make it easy for your participants to contact their family and friends locally and throughout the United States. We will set up an account for your organization, provide you with a unique Group ID for your store, and we'll provide login information for your chairperson's dashboard. Your chairperson will invite their participants to register as a seller by inviting them to visit the online store, entering your Group ID, and clicking on a link to register as a seller. Visit your chairperson's dashboard and you'll be able to track progress in REAL-TIME!  Students will receive prize credit for their online sales. Learn More 

• Online Shopping Options - Your supporters can have their order shipped to your organization along with your brochure sales order, or for a small fee, (approximately $7-$8) they can have their order shipped directly to their home. Your organization will earn a 40% profit on all sales.

• Student Success - The key to a successful online fundraiser is to assure your students register as a seller and be sure they use many options to invite all their friends and family to shop on your Goodies and Gifts online store. We highly recommend encouraging your participants to send out messages on the first day your sale starts. Because people are forgetful or may need to be asked more than once before purchasing, we recommend asking your participants to send out emails and posts as a reminder halfway through your sale. A few days before the end of your sale, send a "last chance to order" reminder should be sent. As a chairperson, sending reminders to your participants will be the key to success.

• After your traditional brochure selling period (we recommend 2-3 weeks) collect the order forms and money from your sellers.  Money is deposited in your organization's account, and the order forms are submitted to us for processing. We will provide you with a shipping label for returning your seller's order forms. There are no case requirements for Heartland Goodies & Gifts fundraiser! Order only what you sell!

• Once the data entry has been completed we'll email sales reports and your invoice to you for the amount due. After reviewing the invoice you can pay by mailing us a school/business check or money order along with a copy of your invoice. You can also call and pay by Visa or Master Card. We do accept purchase orders from public schools with 15 days payment agreement and will release your order to be shipped upon receipt of a valid purchase order. All orders with Heartland Goodies & Gifts are shipped packed by each seller.

• Upon receipt of payment or purchase order, your order will be processed and the products will be shipped to you, packed by the seller, for distribution to your sellers.

• We encourage you to sell 400+ items and your profit will be 40% with free shipping. Orders less than 400 items will add a shipping fee of up to $1 for each item less than 400 items sold. We will combine your brochures and online sales to qualify for free shipping. We will offer you the lowest possible shipping fee available through UPS and FedEx. For example, the maximum fee for an order of 350 items would be $50 (400 item goal - 350 items sold = equals 50 items.  50 items x $1 = $50). Depending on available shipping rates, the fee could potentially be less. Just 40 students selling 10 items, or 25 students selling 16 items, on average will achieve receive free shipping!

• Your organization keeps the profit you earned upfront.  We will deduct your online sales profit from the amount due on your brochure sales.  Orders shipping directly to a customer's home will ship within a few days. With traditional brochure orders, we do our best to ship your Heartland Goodies & Gifts fundraising order within 2-3 weeks after receiving payment. Please allow an additional 3-5 days for transportation time.

• To offer a Direct Ship to Home only fundraiser you can SIGN UP NOW.  There is no need for anyone to sell face-to-face or use a brochure and order form. Once you submit the online form your online sales will immediately activate the online store and the ability to raise funds until you are ready to close your sale. We will ship each order directly to the supporters. With our online sales, your group will still earn a 40% profit!  When possible, for higher sales, we suggest including a traditional brochure fundraiser. Call us at 860-384-3691 to request fundraising brochures and we will link your online sales with your brochure sales.
