How to Prepare for your Fundraiser Kickoff

How to Prepare for a School Fundraiser Kickoff

Get your students excited about selling.

The kickoff is one of the essential parts of your entire fundraiser. The primary purpose of the kickoff is to generate enthusiasm and support for your cause. In other words, you have to sell your campaign to your students.

If you're successful and your students buy-in, you will have created much-needed sales momentum to help you reach your financial objective.

But creating enthusiasm and momentum is just the beginning. You'll also need to work to keep the sales coming in throughout your fundraiser.

In addition to preparing for your kickoff, this ebook touches on sales accountability, online selling, delivery issues, and post-fundraiser analysis.
