How to improve your sale
Why use an additional fundraising incentive? Prize programs are effective; however, adding a supplemental motivator can increase sales.
Additional incentives for your sellers help ensure that your group reaches and exceeds its sales goal.
Fundraising requires creativity as well as time. Having money to invest in your sale may help, but it's not essential. There are even ways to grow sales without spending any money. Regardless, make sure to get the most out of your investment. You can do this by consistently promoting your additional incentive.
