Stainless Tumblers Online

Profit is made from purchasing every tumbler from your store. Once they register, participants can invite family and friends to shop. Invitations are sent via social media, text, and email.

Your group receives a profit from each sale.

Registration is the most effective way to promote your fundraiser online. Once registered, participants can invite friends and family to your online store using text, social media, and email. They'll also be able to log into their sales portal anytime and track their online sales. If you’re offering one of our prize programs, online sales count towards earning prizes.

When more potential buyers click on the link that your sellers share, your store will experience increased traffic and sales. Once at the store, the participant's name appears at the top of the page, which helps to personalize the fundraiser. Encourage your sellers to personalize the visitor experience even more by uploading their pictures when logged into their dashboard.

(NOTE: Participants who add their picture are ten times more likely to get supporters than those who don't!)

Before your sale starts, we send you access to your online sales portal. Sponsors can track things like:

• Registered participants
• Sales updates
• Sales by product

Enhance 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)

Track your fundraiser progress and remind participants to invite people to your store, which will help your participants reach their goals.

Registered participants will also be eligible to win prizes. We encourage groups to supplement the prize program we offer with additional incentives.

You can assign your group to separate teams. Participants can then add their team name when registering, allowing you to see online sales by each team. Make selling even more fun by incorporating additional fundraising incentives to help foster competition between teams to boost overall sales.

Registration is Key

Getting your group to register is vital to your success, and you want to start strong. 46% register on the first day, and 80% of registered participants sell, translating to an average of $100 in sales per seller! Here are some ideas:

Pro Tips:

• Meet in person or over Zoom to discuss the importance of registration.
• Offer low-cost or no-cost incentives (extended recess, duct tape the principal to the wall, water balloon the principal, etc., based on reaching a set registration level, such as 40-50%).
• Offer a registration prize (or everyone who registers by tomorrow goes into a special drawing).
• Email your parents, asking them to register (principals send an email for school-wide fundraisers).
• The goal is 100% registration, so continue to remind your group throughout your sale.
• Use our leaderboard to promote and boost sales throughout your fundraiser.

There are two ways to promote your store:

1. Registration: Participants will need your group link to register. This way, they can log in and track their sales progress. When they share the link with friends and family using social media, text, and email, visitors will see the participant's name when they arrive at the store.
2. Direct Link: If you don't want your group members to register, they can send your group link.

You cannot track individual participant sales by only sharing your group link. You would also not be able to use a prize program.

Online Ship-to-Group Orders

Another limitation to sellers not registering is getting products to online customers who choose the ship-to-group option. Typically, when participants register and send out their unique links, and customers make a purchase, orders are automatically tied to a particular seller.

Any products shipped to the group are already packed inside the seller's box with their other brochure products. Participants then deliver these products to their customers.

But with the single link option, you must let any ship-to-group buyers know to pick up their order because it won't be associated with any seller.

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

Participants can log into their portal anytime and see their sales updates.

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

Adding prizes has been proven to improve sales. It's essential to promote your incentives throughout your sale, keeping your participants focused on sharing their store links with others.

You have two prize program options:

1. Cash
2. Prizes

We will email you your prize flyer before your kickoff. After your sale, we add the total cash amount to your profit payment. If you choose prizes, we will ship them to your group address.

You'll receive a sales report showing your participants' names and how much they sold. Prizes are shipped with a reference list that matches prizes with participants.

There is no cost to the group for our prize programs.

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

You'll receive an agreement to sign after you submit our Start a Fundraiser form. Processing your order and setting up your store will take at least 3-5 business days.

Your store will be live once we send you your participant registration steps. We recommend that you have an official kickoff meeting so everyone starts simultaneously.

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

The key is to balance sufficient time for sales with sustained enthusiasm, so we’ve found a 2-week sale to be optimal. Therefore, we will set your end date for two weeks after your start date by default.

You can always let us know if you need to extend your sale about three-quarters of the way through. To succeed, focus on creating a sense of seller urgency, getting out of the gate quickly, and establishing early momentum. Unless you tell us to extend your sale, your store will close the next business day after your fundraiser ends.

We do not recommend placing our tumblers in the microwave or dishwasher. A care card is placed inside each tumbler, and it's suggested that they be hand-washed instead.

Each tumbler is inserted into a Helix machine for color designs. The art is loaded and directly applied to the tumbler while spinning inside the machine. After the art is applied, it's followed by a UV-dried varnish. The varnish protects the logo that was applied to the tumbler. The artwork is not a sticker or vinyl application but a digital print.

For laser-etched designs, we coat every stainless steel tumbler with its specific color, such as red or white. The laser follows a design path to etch away the color applied over the raw silver steel, leaving the logo design behind. The silver color will then show through where the logo was engraved.

No, we also work with non-school groups, such as church groups, sports leagues, and dance organizations.

No. You must choose one store. For example, Goodies & Gifts Online cannot be run simultaneously with Popcorn Online. However, you can always run a second online fundraiser after the first one ends.

Yes. Your group must have at least 5 participants.
