They were great to work with! I loved being able to have our kids sell to relatives across the country compared to being stuck to just selling to those in our local area.

This was the easiest fundraiser I have ever done for our National Honor Society group! From start to finish, the process was extremely simple. We really enjoyed being able to sell completely online. This allowed us to share the store on social media very easily and reach members of our community who are not just in our school building without having to send our students around to the public right now.

The website handled everything for us (ordering, tracking orders, shipping, etc).

This was the easiest and most successful fundraiser I have ever done. I ordered flowers myself, planted them and they are beautiful! Will use Big Fundraising Ideas again for my class fundraising.

Clay was a wonderful representative to work with! The instructions were very clear and the product was quality. The website was easy to use and inventory update was in real-time. It was refreshing knowing the products ordered would be the products shipped.

Questions about Flowers Online?

How it Works

How do we raise money?

Profit is made from the purchase of every item from your store. Participants can invite family and friends to shop via social media, text, and/ or email.

Your group receives a profit off every sale from your store.

Do people purchase live flowers and plants?

Buyers will be able to purchase bulbs, seeds, and roots. We do not carry live plants in soil. Bare root plants are dormant (not actively growing) perennial plants that are dug up and stored without any soil around their roots.

Do participants need to register?

There is no registration required for a Flowers Online fundraiser. We set up your store and provide you with a unique store link. Your group can share the link and invite people they know to shop.

Once supporters arrive at your store, they’ll see your group’s name and purpose at the top of the page. For example, “ABC High School Band". “We are raising funds for festival entrance fees and travel.”

You’ll be able to track your group’s sales and see how close you are to your goal.

If you want to track individual participant sales, there is a field at checkout that states, “Give Credit for this Sale to: _____________”. You will need to remind your participants to tell their customers to enter their first & last name so they receive credit for their sales.

You will then receive a report when your profit check is issued showing each individual order placed and who received the credit.

Your success depends on getting participants to send out your online store link. You can grow your sales by setting individual seller goals based on your group’s needs.

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

Be sure to track your fundraiser progress and remind participants to invite people to your store. When your participants reach their individual goals, your group succeeds.

We encourage groups to supplement the prize program we offer with additional incentives. We encourage groups to come up with their own motivational incentives as well. Here are a few fundraising incentive ideas

Do we get our own link?

Yes. You’ll receive your own online store link.

Is money collected with each order?

There is no in person ordering or money collection. Participants generate sales when the people they invite buy items from your store.

Can participants track their own sales?

No, participants are not able to track their own sales updates.

Are there any fees?

There are no setup fees or costs to run a Flowers Online fundraiser. We will waive the $50 admin fee once your group sells 50 items. If you decide to cancel after we receive your signed agreement, you will be charged the $50 admin fee.

Can participants earn prizes?

We do not provide prizes for Flowers Online. Offering and regularly promoting your own incentives throughout your sale will help keep your group motivated and can improve your results.

Do participants get a brochure to show?

Because this is an online fundraiser there are no brochures. Before your sale, you’ll receive a registration instruction steps email. Be sure to forward it to your sellers.

How soon can we start?

After you submit our start a fundraiser form you’ll receive an agreement to sign. It will then take at least 3-5 business days to process your order and set up your store.

Once we send you your ‘how to get started’ instruction steps, your store is live. We recommend that you have an official kickoff meeting so everyone starts at the same time.

If you can't meet in person, consider using an online communication technology. Examples include Zoom, Cisco Webex, GoToMeeting and Google Hangouts.

How long is the fundraiser?

By default, we set your end date 2 weeks after your start date. You can always change your end date. Simply let us know before your sale ends.

Or, let us know up front when you want your store to close.

Do you only work with schools?

No, we work with non-school groups as well. Examples include church groups, sports leagues, and dance organizations.

Can we use more than 1 store at a time?

No. You must choose 1 store. For example, ‘Goodies & Gifts’ cannot be run at the same time as ‘Popcornopolis Online’. You can always run a second online fundraiser after the first one is over.

Do you only work with groups?

Yes. Your group must have at least 5 participants.
