Fire up Your Fundraising with Candles

Judging by the aisle at the grocery store that offers items to make your home smell better, air fresheners are in great demand. No one likes their home to smell like stale cooking, dirty diapers, or cat litter. Why not cash in one some of that desire for a fresh smelling home by offering a candle fundraiser in your community?

The key to a successful fundraiser is to offer something, whether it's a product or service, that is in demand. Many people like to have scented candles in their homes to keep unpleasant smells at bay, or just to enjoy a fresh or delectable scent. There are also scents that are considered aromatherapy, that offer relaxation or stress relief, or that can energize the senses. These are all factors to consider and touch upon when executing candle fundraisers.
 
Another way to succeed with candle fundraisers is to offer candles for sale before big holidays. Candles that offer the smells of fall, such as apples, cinnamon, and pumpkin, are popular before Thanksgiving. As it gets closer to Christmas, evergreen scented candles are a great way to bring the holiday spirit into the home, even before the actual tree is put up. And think about those people who put up artificial tress. Candles that smell like a real, fresh tree can add to their holiday and make it more enjoyable.

Offering candles for sale before holidays also allows people to buy them as gifts for family and friends. Candles can make great gifts, especially around the December holidays. There are many types available, such as soy candles, or those made from beeswax. And you can find just about any kind of scent, from fruits, to flowers and plants, to scents that mimic baked pies or clean linen. With so much variety, it is very easy for people to find something that will appeal to everyone on their gift list.

Putting together a candle fundraiser doesn't have to be difficult, either. There are several fundraising companies that make the process easy, and will offer help and support, in addition to the products. These companies will usually allow you to either buy the candles up front and sell them, or they will provide your group with brochures and scent cards (so your customers can get an idea of what the candles will smell like). You will collect orders and turn them in to the company, who will then ship the candles directly to your customers. Most companies will work with your group to find the option that works best for your community, and your group's budget.

You don't necessarily have to go door to door to sell candles, either. If your group opts to buy candles up front, you could sell them at a fair or craft show. It usually doesn't cost much to reserve a table at events like this, and you can offset the cost by working it into the price of the candles. You can also offer accessories like candle holders, and even put them together to be sold as sets.

How To Make More Money With A Tupperware Fundraiser

Tupperware? That was my initial thought, too. I pictured the Tupperware parties of which I'd heard so often - and the sole party I intended. How could you raise money with a Tupperware fundraiser if everyone had to attend a party somewhere? And who would host all those parties?!

No Party Needed!

Then I learned that a Tupperware fundraiser is not based on parties. A Tupperware fundraiser is run much like any other fundraiser, except that you offer a quality, durable product instead of cheap consumables.

Think back to the last fundraiser you had. Maybe you offered an array of candles - or coupon books. Many of your workers felt they were pushing products people neither wanted nor needed. Instead of appealing to the buyer, they were trying to sell products that were easy to get at low prices.

It all boiled down to a basic feeling that you were dealing with mediocre products, which produced mediocre sales efforts.

Tupperware Fundraisers Are Successful

The Tupperware company offers Tupperware fundraisers for non-profit organizations and schools - and a Tupperware fundraiser is likely to be highly successful.

Tupperware fundraisers offer a straight 40% profit! How much can you raise? How much are you determined to raise?

Imagine you commit to raise $12,000 for a new, public playground. The children in your neighborhood have no place to play. Parents have no place to go and play with their little ones. You need swings, sandboxes, brightly-painted jungle gyms, and some open, green space.

You manage to round up a group of 200 volunteers who are willing to participate in your Tupperware fundraiser. Each volunteer is encouraged to set a goal of 5 or more customer orders, and told that the average customer will usually place an order of about $30. They believe it, and set out.

At the end of your Tupperware fundraiser, each volunteer turns in orders totaling over $150. Some submit orders totaling $200 or $300. Together, your group sold a total of more than $30,000 retail! Your 40% profit comes to much more than $12,000. You reached your ambitious goal - and Tupperware pays all shipping for Tupperware fundraisers.

Your Tupperware fundraiser was successful. Your public playground will soon be a reality!

Products

Tupperware fundraisers succeed in part because of the product's reputation. Most people are familiar with the Tupperware line of products. Some may have wanted to purchase but did not want to attend a party, or could not find a local dealer.

A Tupperware fundraiser succeeds because you sell exclusive Tupperware products that are not offered in other catalogs. People are eager to get these unique products, and order readily. Baby Boomers, who grew up with Tupperware, are especially positive toward Tupperware fundraisers.

Running a Successful Tupperware Fundraiser

Tupperware fundraisers
 are simplified by the fact that the company provides everything you need - including a fundraising manager for guidance and advice. There are things you will want to do, though, that go beyond the fundraiser packets.

Here are a few tips to make your Tupperware fundraiser successful.

1. Volunteers should be clearly taught how your project will help the people to whom they hope to sell. Customers want to know "what's in it for me" more than how wonderful the cause itself is. If your Tupperware fundraiser is to raise money for a playground, how will it benefit the Baby Boomer on the corner whose children are grown adults? She may like your Tupperware, but she should also be shown how your playground will benefit her.

2. Volunteers should believe passionately in your cause. They should be so involved that they can see little red and blue swing seats, with happy toddlers running toward them. They should have a keen desire to make that vision come true - a desire that will carry them beyond rejection.

3. Volunteers should believe passionately that your Tupperware fundraiser is the best possible way to raise the money you need. Your fundraiser manager will likely give a demonstration of the products. Be sure every volunteer attends and accepts the product enthusiastically.

4. Teach volunteers to convey the "I like you" message to every potential customer. People like to be liked, and will more readily order from your Tupperware fundraiser volunteers if they appear to like each customer sincerely.

5. With the "I like you" message, convey trustworthiness. The two together tend to convince customers that you have their best interest in mind.

Tupperware fundraisers have been successful for many groups. They can be so for your group, too, but you must work smart to make it happen.

Fundraising That Makes Scents

Fundraising is a good way to help organizations like schools, clubs, club sports, church groups, cheerleading squads, competitive dance teams, day care centers, community groups and other organizations that need a little extra money. The money is used to fund trips, purchase supplies, and sometimes used to help the needy. The goal for all organizations is to conduct a successful fundraiser and meet all their money raising goals. However, in order to produce a successful fundraiser you must be selling a fairly good product. That is why you should choose Scentsy! The Scentsy's fundraising system is simple and definitely worth it! Other fundraising systems do not even compare…

Let's examine traditional candle fundraising. Do not get me wrong, traditional candles are cute and very popular. However, the product itself is not as unique as Scentsy wickless candles, not cause candle soot. The Scentsy candle warmers are easy to use and can be enjoyed over and over. Unlike traditional candles, the scents are very potent, last longer, and you have the ability to change scents very quickly. Scentsy warmers come in different sizes and many different colors. A customer is sure to find the right warmer for their home office, or apartment.

Then there are other fundraisers with food producs like cookie dough or candy. Cookie dough is good for a few batches but before you know it, it is gone. If the cookie dough is not used before its freshness date, it can spoil. Who wants awful tasting cookies? As for candy, it makes a great instant consumable however most people like items that keep on giving. With Scentsy, you get a product that will never spoil and can be used throughout the year. With over 80+ scents, Scentsy offers many different choices for many different tastes.

Other fundraisers include gift cards and car washes. Gift cards may seem like a good idea because you can use the gift card when you prefer or you can give them as a gift.  However, sometimes gift cards can get lost or they require you to purchase a certain amount. This means your money is lost or you find yourself spending more than you wanted to. Car washes on the other hand are traditionally great fundraisers. The customer gets a service and the cost is generally inexpensive.  However, what if the weather is bad or you need to raise money in the middle of the winter? You also need to schedule shifts and hours to produce the event.  For most of these organizations, they do not have the time to schedule a car wash event around their busy schedules. Scentsy products allow customers to purchase from a catalog or they can purchase from the Internet. Scentsy makes fundraising easy for the organization and offers a great useable product for the customers.

For these reasons, I highly suggest that you consider Scentsy if you are in need of a fundraiser for your organization.  Both you and your customers will be happy that you chose Scentsy to raise money.
