| How
to Reach Your Fundraising Financial Goals
1.
Identify your needs and set your goals
The first vital steps to a successful fundraising
campaign are to identify your group’s needs
and set your groups financial goals. If your
group members know how the money will be spent
and their personal benefits, this will motivate
them, keep them focused and help with their
sales pitch.
2. Remember that % Profit does not translate
into Profits!
Although the percentage profit of sales is
important, there are many other factors that
need to be considered at the same time.
One company may offer 50% of sales while another
may offer 40%. The 40% company may be providing
valuable services such as incentive programs,
consulting, kickoffs, timely delivery of merchandise,
and custom packing. These advantages will
save volunteers time and lead to higher profits.
The company offering the lower % may also
have a higher quality product. This product's
high quality will also help to increase sales
and profits for your group. If a company is
offering a lower percentage profit find out
why!
3. Motivate your Members
Sometimes, the money raised is a strong enough
incentive, but often prize award programs
can be a valuable way to build excitement
and boost profits. Ask the participants what
would motivate them and don't forget to be
creative.
