1. Be honest. This fundraiser can raise more money in less time than most programs combined. It requires NO selling, NO purchasing, NO set up and NO hassles. The only requirement is attending a brief vacation ownership preview. That’s it.

2. Set a goal! Make your goal bold, but not unattainable.

•	You can choose a group goal or a goal for each individual in your group. Depending on the type of group, individual goals can seem more attainable. For example, if you have 20 kids on your team, set a goal for each kid to sign up 3 couples. That’s $6,000 (PLUS a NABCA BONUS of $1,500*).
•	EFSN supplies you with regular updates on your progress. If you find only a handful of people are participating, send out a reminder email, make a few phone calls, or send home more flyers with your goals. Most people need more than one push to take part in any activity.

3. Promote the positives.

•	Everyone who attends a presentation will earn $100 (PLUS a NABCA BONUS of $25*) for your group, PLUS a very nice incentive for themselves. Depending on the resort, there are plenty of rewards from which to choose.
•	A Simple Fundraiser can eliminate other more time consuming fundraisers; saving parents time, effort and money.
•	Participants can earn $100 (PLUS a NABCA BONUS of $25*) while learning how to stay on a beachfront resort in Maui for a fraction of the retail cost. Sounds better than selling cookie dough!

4. Utilize your ground force. Teachers and coaches are your best resource for a successful fundraiser - they have the most contact with parents. Involve the professionals and make sure information is readily available.

•	To help raise money for classrooms, teachers can have a friendly competition between other classrooms in the same grade. The winning classroom in each grade will receive a prize such as a pizza party, field trip, homeroom supplies, etc. Best of all, we supply these prizes!

5. Host a parent meeting. Nothing is more convincing than hearing it straight from the horse’s mouth. Invite one of our staff members to attend
a parent meeting to answer questions and sign people up on the spot. This
helps alleviate any concerns and rallies the parents to participate.

6. Go outside your organization. This fundraiser isn’t just for people within your organization; teachers, staff, friends and family are also eligible to help you earn $100 (PLUS a NABCA BONUS of $25*) per qualified presentation. Remember, each preview equals more money for you.

7. Personal contact. While flyers are great for relaying information, nothing
beats direct personal contact. Talk to parents, make a few phone calls or
send an email. If they know you are totally behind this fundraiser and
endorse its attributes, you will get all the support you need.

8. Attend a presentation. If you don’t register to attend a presentation,
why should anyone else? Make sure you are the first to attend, that way
you can offer first hand information to anyone in your group.

9. Refer other groups. Your can raise even more money by referring other organizations looking to raise funds; including schools, churches, non-profits, sport teams, or whomever! To learn more, please visit our referral page by CLICKING HERE.
