Popcorn Fundraiser - Sweet Chaos Popcorn Fundraising Brochure

■ Review the Sweet Chaos Popcorn Fundraiser Sales Agreement, complete it, and submit it to us by fax or email. You can also submit your sales agreement electronically on our website or just call us to get started!

 

■ We will review each step of your fundraiser with you your fundraiser from start to finish to help ensure that your organization's fundraiser runs smoothly throughout your sale. 

​

■  Offer incentives!  Before starting your sale we suggest putting together an incentive/reward for your participants for participating in your fundraiser for a job well done! Raising money for your organization is a worthy cause and should be recognized. Think outside the box and award for participation, not just for top sellers. You want to motivate everyone to participate. We suggest promoting a "celebration party" for each seller who sells a minimum number of items to help you achieve higher sales. It could be something as simple as an ice cream sundae celebration or something such as a "Chance to Win" opportunity. Choose the minimum number of items that you would like your sellers to achieve. Then, offer a drawing for prizes which can be events at school, prizes, discount certificates, free gifts, etc. that can be donated by businesses and services within your community. For example, a seller receives a ticket for a chance to win when they sell 10 items (15 items if you choose). For each additional 5 items sold, they earn another ticket. Incentives can be highly successful!

 

■  We'll ship 1 brochure (with the order form on the back) for each of your participants. Distribute your brochures and family participants will show the brochure to their friends, other family members, neighbors, co-workers, acquaintances, etc., and invite them to purchase their favorite popcorn flavors. At just $12 per item, many supporters will order more than one item! Your participants will fill in the order form with the supporter's name, contact info, address, etc., and what they ordered and collect the payment upfront. Customer checks, if taken, are made payable to your organization.

 

■  To increase your sales, we can provide a link that will download a pdf of the popcorn brochure. You can distribute the link on your parent letter, on a school website, or send it to your sellers by email. In turn, your sellers can send out dozens of emails, texts, or posts on social media to invite supporters to select the popcorn they would like to purchase.  They can contact the participant with their order who can then write the order onto the order form.  Payment options could include payment by cash, mailing a check, payment by Venmo or another cash app, etc. Continue your sales for 2-3 weeks. 

 

■  Collect all order forms and payments from your participants at the end of your selling period. Allow a few days for late orders to be submitted. There are no minimums to submit an order. Tally the number of items sold and email the totals to deb@best-fundraising-ideas.com or fax to 410-630-7080, or simply call us at 860-384-3691 and we can take your order by phone. Once received, we will email an invoice to you.

 

■  You'll keep your profit upfront and pay your amount due. Once payment has been received by an organization check, cashier check, or money order, your order will be packed and shipped in 1-2 weeks. Smaller orders are usually shipped by UPS. Larger orders are shipped by a carrier and delivered on a pallet. You'll then distribute your orders to your participants along with the popcorn brochure/order form.

​

■  We’ll provide coaching to help your campaign succeed, we offer extended office hours Mon-Sat 9 am-9 pm and Sun 11 am-6 pm, and we are committed to processing your order and any needed replacements with no delay.  When you require help we'll be available to assist you! 

​

■  Reminder. Please have your participants sell to people they know such as family, friends, and neighbors. Never have your participants sell door-to-door or enter someone's home. If you are selling at an event remember to keep cash well stored. Remind your participants to always smile, be polite, and say "Thank you" whether someone makes a purchase or not.
