Yes, selling online is an important part of your CW Home fundraiser. Prior to your start date you’ll receive instructions so your students can register. Once registered they’ll be able to invite friends and family to shop at your store.

Selling online adds a 2^nd way for your group to raise money.

Registration is the most effective way to promote your CW Home fundraiser online. It's also a great way to get your students engaged in your cause. Students can share the store link and their participant code # once they register.

Before entering the store, supporters will see a personalized group confirmation popup. For example, “Every purchase supports ABC High School Band". The student's name and picture (optional) they're supporting also appears. They can start shopping once they click on the ‘shop’ button.

Registered sellers will also be eligible to earn credit towards prizes. We encourage groups to supplement our prize program with their own rewards. Here are some incentive ideas.

There are 2 ways to promote your store:

1. Registration: Your group will receive its own organization ID number. Students will need it to register and share your store with others using social media, text, and/ or email.
2. Group Credit Only: Or, supporters can select ‘Shop Now’, then ‘Organization Credit Only’ and enter your ID number. Your students would only need to share the online store link and your group’s ID #. No student registration required.

   By promoting a direct link, you will only be able to track online sales as a group, not by individual sellers. As a result, students would not receive prize credit for selling online.

No donations are accepted through the store.

There are no order requirements for a CW Home fundraiser.

You’ll need to know your group size as well your student goal. Here’s how you can estimate your profit:

Calculation Steps

1. Student Count x Student Item Goal = Items Sold
2. Items Sold x Average Retail Price = Gross Sales
3. Gross Sales x Profit % = Group Profit

Example

1. Let’s say you have 60 students and you set your student item goal at 10. The items sold would be 60 Students x 10 Items / Student = 600.
2. Next, determine your gross sales. The average retail price is about $17 so your gross sales would be 600 Items x $17 = $10,200.
3. Since your profit is 40%, your group profit would be $10,200 x 40% = $4,080.

Keep in mind, our example is only an estimated profit. In reality, students probably won’t sell the same number of items. In addition, the average retail dollars sold per seller will vary.

Brochure: You may not know how many CW Home orders you get until you collect your order forms. Yet there are strategies that can give you a ballpark idea. Learn how to track your fundraising progress

Online: You'll be able to track online sales in real-time. After logging into your dashboard you'll see:

• The number of students who've registered
• How many have sent out invite emails
• Sales progress

Brochure Sales: Money and order forms are turned in at the end of the sale. The money gets deposited in the group’s account and the order forms are sent in for processing.

Once orders are processed, the group receives their sales reports and invoice. The group sends a check for the invoice amount and keeps the rest as profit.

Online Sales: A credit will appear on your brochure invoice for your online sales profit.

Groups make 40% off all regular and 30% off any customizable CW Home items.

(Use the ‘Calculate Your Profit’ calculator at the top of the page to determine your profit)
