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.
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%!
