How Do Fall Fundraisers Work?
With so many options, fall fundraiser ideas for schools are plentiful. Groups raise over a billion dollars annually selling products. And the most popular time to sell is from August through November.
To get started, select one of our fall brochures. Each student receives a catalog, order form, prize flyer, and a money collection envelope. Also included is a step by step participant information letter.
When you meet with your group, explain why they’re raising money and how many items you want them to sell. They should only approach people they know.

Questions
Is it better to sell early in the fall or before the holidays?
Answer
Most schools start fundraising right after school starts. Their goal is to sell ahead of other groups in their area. But many organizations sell before the holidays. This is when people may be more apt to purchase gifts.
Questions
How can we have a successful fall fundraiser?
Answer
Here are three things to consider: 1) Have a purpose people are willing to support, 2) Set an individual student and school-wide sales goal, and 3) Determine the best way to motivate your students to sell.
Questions
Do lower-priced fundraisers work?
Answer
It depends on whether your community is price-sensitive or not. Your group may be able to sell more items, but you will make less off each item. On average, our regular brochures raise more money for schools.
Fall Fundraising Suggestions & Tips
- Set an individual seller goal to help you meet your group's fundraiser goals.
- Encourage your participants to sell out of both their brochure and online.
- Incentivize students to invite friends and family to make online purchases.
- Remind students to collect money upfront with their orders.
- Periodically check on seller progress.
- Consider drawings during your sale to give participants the opportunity to win prizes.
- On a tight budget? Offer group-related privileges instead of paying for extra incentives.
More Fall Fundraiser Ideas
In 2017, an estimated $680.4 billion was spent in the retail industry by consumers over the holiday season. And more than 165 million consumers chose to shop over Black Friday weekend alone! Although a smaller number, schools raise a respectable $1.4 billion selling fundraiser products.
According to AFRDS, product sales yield the best results compared to other fundraisers. The fall season is the time for giving so there’s no shortage of sales opportunities. And our brochures cover all the bases.
Each fall brochure incorporates a specific gift concept. “Heartland Goodies & Gifts” and “Tis the Season” offer plenty of kitchenware accessories, useful household items, and holiday gifts. Options like these are great when approaching neighbors. This is when the target audience are normally adults who answer the front door.
But be sure to comb through the pages first because there are a few unique gems. Our personal favorites are the variety of freshly baked cookies and large variety of cheeses and sausages. We also recommend checking out the large selection of designer wrap.
“Snow Much Fun” features only items that are $10 - an excellent selling point, for starters. This brochure is good for a broader audience because it’s affordable and specific to gift giving. Kids also like the idea of picking gifts knowing that each one is only $10. They can find anything from snack boxes for their friends to candy for their siblings. “Snow Much Fun” is an accessible and appealing option.
“A Season of Joy” and “So Very Merry” focus on Christmas. This is perfect if you love burning candles that smell like fir trees or eating yummy goodies. With a solid theme during a sales-driven season, yielding a high profit will be no problem at all.
Out of the fall catalogs in this category, “CW Home” may be the most successful option. This fundraising catalog boasts an enormous amount of durable and double-sided wrapping paper. Fall has no shortage of uses for quality and attractive wrapping paper options.
And you may have some Halloween parties coming up. This is the perfect time to whip out your child’s fall fundraiser catalog. Especially if it involves the Dulce de Leche owls or pecan caramel clusters. When folks are enjoying their ghoulish goodies already, they’ll be in the frame of mind to buy some more.
If you’re fundraising early in the season, use the variety of options to sell to your customer. Ask people questions like “who are you buying gifts for this year?” If it’s later in the season, the double-sided wrapping paper is perfect. You'll give the appearance that everything wasn’t wrapped at the exact same time.
