Increase Sales by Adding a Personalized School Tumbler

Boost school spirit by adding your custom tumbler.

You may be looking for creative ways to improve your existing fundraiser sales. Perhaps your sale has become stagnant for your supporters. Complacency can become a problem, but it doesn't have to stay that way.

You can change things by adding a personalized school tumbler brochure tag to your primary tumbler shopper. This can help get your sale back on track.

By adding your customized tumbler, you're offering something completely different that can get people's attention.

You'll also help get the word out about your organization. Whether you are an elementary school, high school choir, or middle school football team, people will know they support your group when they purchase one of your tumblers.

And even if they don't buy a school tumbler, you still have the opportunity to talk to them about your organization during the selling process.

Here are some advantages you may want to consider when a personalized tumbler is added:

Variety Improves Sales

Some people will want to buy from the main brochure, while others may want to either do both or purchase a school tumbler. This also allows you to reach a different audience. Since most of the items in brochures are geared towards women, the sports tumbler may attract more men.

Team Selling is Exponential

It's been proven that students who can get family members to help them sell usually bring in more money than those who don't. The advantage of having two brochures is more than one family member can sell simultaneously. For example, mom can take the regular brochure to work while dad takes the tumbler brochure.

Increase Sales Online

While selling face-to-face out of a brochure can bring in lots of sales, you can exponentially increase your profit by promoting your online store. Sellers can register, send their links to family and friends, and invite them to shop. You can even feature your custom tumbler on your store.

Buyers can pay additional shipping to have their order shipped directly to their homes or pay a small processing fee to have their order shipped to your organization. Online items are automatically prepacked inside each seller's box. Learn about selling tumblers online.

Additional Suggestions

  1. Offer a tumbler that will reach the largest audience in your area. For instance, instead of selling your elementary school or middle school band tumbler, attempt to offer one for your local high school.
  2. However, the broader your customer base, the greater the chance that another organization may have the same idea. Check first to ensure other groups in your area aren't also planning to sell tumblers.
  3. Personalized items usually have minimum order requirements.
