Raising
Does your group or organization need to
raise money for something special?
Pam's Pantry can help!
When you choose to sell products that
people are really hungry for, (no pun intended), you will find out how
easy it can be to realize big profits on your next fundraiser!
A Little Bit About
How It Works
We are truly honored to have been given
the opportunity to help with many successful fundraising campaigns for
schools, churches and various organizations such as Race for the Cure
Events (breast cancer awareness), Boy Scouts and individual fundraising
needs such as Cancer Patients needing help with medical bills and
support.
No group is too large or too small . . .
We work on an individual basis with each
group to design and implement a program based on the individual needs
of the group.
We want you to be successful and we make
every effort to insure that you are. Below are a few of the details,
depending on your specific needs, of what might be expected when you
choose Pam's Pantry for your next Fundraising Campaign.
First, the good stuff . . .
Profits
= 50% of Sales!
With that out of the way, on to a few more of the details:
PRE-EVENT
SAMPLING
Based on location and availability of staff, we offer options for
on-site sampling.
If you choose to plan an Information
Night and invite people in to preview the products that will be sold,
we will provide samples of all products for taste testing.
<>In some cases, we come on site to help
with the sampling and to answer any questions. This has worked well for
larger groups. For example, a school group where there are 100+
participating in the sale. This is nice for parents to be able to
come in and see and taste the products their children will be
selling.
>
If we are not able to come on site, we
will send products to be made and sampled. We have
found that this helps to build awareness of your campaign and your
goals.
This also provides a level of comfort to
those who have had the opportunity to sample the mixes to know they
will be providing quality products to family and friends. It
also allows them to make suggestions based on their favorites!
SELLING MATERIALS
You will receive order forms detailing all of the products available
with a sales sheet section for recording sales along with a money
collection envelope for each participant.
The order forms will be customized for
your school, church or organization. Sponsors will receive additional
sheets in case extras are needed for "big sellers".
CAMPAIGN DATES
There is no limit on the length of time that you can set for your
fundraiser sales, although most average a 2-3 week time frame.
There are many options available to you.
We have worked with some
individuals to have sales ongoing over a period of several months with
several deliveries set over the course of the selling period.
A good example of this is a fundraiser
we did for a group of 5th graders and chaperones at an elementary
school trying to raise a large amount of funds for each individual to
spend a week in Florida.
They were going to attend some
informational classes and sessions at Epcot and also just enjoy the
sun! We opened sales before Halloween and accepted orders throughout
the school year.
We set dates to deliver product prior to
Thanksgiving, Christmas and a couple of other periodic deliveries after
the holidays to accommodate multiple orders from the same individuals.
This worked well allowing people to
receive their product to serve for holiday get togethers and to plan
for
future needs over the course of the year. Once many tried the products,
they came back for a second purchase!
CLOSING THE SALE
We do ask for money up front. The participants collect the funds at the
time the orders are placed and all orders and monies are turned in to
the fundraiser chairperson by the sales deadline.
The fundraiser chairperson will write
two checks to Pam's Pantry, one check at the time the actual order for
product is placed and a second check upon delivery.
When all orders are tallied we ask for a
deposit of 25% of the sales.
<>For example, if total sales are
$2000.00,
your group will be receiving $1000.00 of the sales. We will receive a
check at this time for $500.00. Upon receipt of your order, the
additional 25% of sales ($500.00) will be due to Pam's Pantry.
>
The fundraiser chairperson will have
been provided an order sheet for final sales which they will fill out
and submit for the quantity required of each item for
fulfillment.
AWARDS & PRIZES
In some instances we suggest that awards or prizes be offered to the
participants who sold the most product, or for example, the top 3
sellers. These incentives can be very exciting and encouraging to
participants to get out there and sell! We work one-on-one with the
fundraising chairperson to devise a plan prior to the start of the
sale.
DELIVERY OF PRODUCT
This will vary depending on the number of participants selling product
and an estimate of quantity expected to be sold.
We have a large stock of products
available and try to process your orders as quickly as possible,
sometimes, in just a matter of a few days.
Larger campaigns may require a couple of
weeks to process.
All items will be boxed/bagged
separately and delivered or shipped to a specified location for
distribution. There are special conditions to meet for free
shipping/delivery depending on campaign totals. Finalized delivery
time(s) and
delivery/shipping options will be discussed prior to the setup of the
campaign.
If, for some reason, there is a problem
with any individual item (hole in bag, wrong product, etc.) we will
replace the item or provide the correct item at no additional cost.
Shipping of these items will also be free of charge. We guarantee our
products 100%!
