How changing incentives boosts results

To improve fundraising sales, you'll need to increase seller participation. One way to accomplish this is to get your sellers interested in your sale by giving them a fun and exciting incentive as their reward and then making it as easy as possible for everyone to achieve that goal.

When more students realize they can get something exciting by putting in a reasonable amount of effort, their participation will increase. One administrator was delighted with her fundraising results. She said her participation increased so much because her students knew they only needed to sell eight items to get into a special event. As a result, they experienced a dramatic improvement in their results. And after attempting to increase fundraising sales using a traditional prize program for years, another administrator had this to say about our Big Event Super Party:

A School Participation Testimonial

"This is the best super party we have ever had! We had 456 students sell 12 items or more as our sales skyrocketed like never before! The students had a fantastic time with smiles on their faces. The super party was a great way to say "Thank you" to the students and parents for their hard work on the sale. Col Santos Benavides Elementary raised $72,194.50!!”

The fundraiser went extremely well. From my perspective I had very little leg work to do. Collecting and mailing was all and when the product arrived it was very well organized into the individual classes. I think it went very well and will look forward to running it again next year.
