FOOD AND GIFT COMBO FUNDRAISING
The newest and latest best fundraiser is the combination of a GOOD QUALITY gift and variety catalog as well as a frozen food tag catalog. The most common words heard in fundraising today is "we want to try something new". That is a great thought and sometimes works but more often than not, just brings frustration.
The oldest and most profitable fundraiser, the gift catalog, can still bring in the money that so many organizations desperately need to fund all the items on their "budget" to do list. It works well for several reasons: 1) the price range is usually such that families and friends can find a lot of nice choices for under or around $10, 2) the items are easy to deliver to friends, family and coworkers because they are nonperishable 3) Profits are generally higher running typically around 50%. All that being said, choosing to run only a gift catalog fundraiser year after year can also run stale after a time.
Frozen food catalogs ALONE can be 1) Expensive- most items on these catalogs run well over the $10 mark leaving no inexpensive choices, 2) since they are perishable you are at the mercy of the parents to pickup the product at school in a timely manner. 3) Profit on these products usually runs a low 35 to 40%.
The best choice to bring higher profits and the best variety to your parents is to choose a good quality gift catalog- with lots of variety in not only products, but in price range as well. Those who don't want to spend the money for a frozen food item or deal with "perishable pickup" can always find great choices here. In addition, tag the gift catalog with a good frozen food catalog that satisfies the tastes of the families that say they just "can't find anything to buy" in your gift catalog.
The last and final piece to the Great Fundraiser Campaign Puzzle is a motivating prize program. So many of the prize programs offered are just "token" prize offerings for the company to say they are offering you something. A good prize program will be "age appropriate" for all ages participating. If you are running a campaign that entails ages from kindergarden up to sixth grade, then your prize program should appeal to all involved. If not, change it up! The biggest mistake that a lot of companies make is an inappropriate and "cheap" prize program. You'll know when a company spends a lot on their prize program. Those are the companies that give quality to get results! Fundraising without a good prize program is like sailing without the wind---- You won't go anywhere!
Stick with this wining combo fundraiser and enjoy a VERY successful fundraising campaign!

It means that even though your cookie dough is delivered frozen, it can set out for up to 21 days without being frozen or refrigerated.

Fundraising Tips
Fundraising is an important source of income for many organizations. For many, coordinating a fundraiser can be a daunting task. At Mid-States Fundraising we work hard to make your fundraiser a fun and profitable experience. Here are some tips to help make your next fundraiser a success.
Catalog Sales: Profitable, Easy To Run
"Tips for success, dos and don'ts, and easy ways to increase profits for your next catalog fundraiser. Product fundraising is probably the oldest form of direct-contact fundraising for schools. Some product sales companies have been around for 50 years or more. And more companies have entered the market in recent years as school districts cut back on their funding and PTOs look for ways to supplement the coffers." - read more at PTOToday.comSNACK BROCHURES
