Fundraiser Goal Setting Guide

How to set achievable seller goals

Why should you have a Fundraiser Goal? Setting a benchmark for your students is important because it lets your sellers know what’s expected of them. It gives them something to aim for and can aide in motivation and creating a competitive spirit among participants. Your goal will also allow you to effectively track your sales progress and will inform you when your fundraiser is over.

Goal setting can seem ambiguous at first. This goal setting guide offers clarity with a step-by-step process to discover your ideal fundraising goal. We even share a mathematical equation to help ensure that your goal is realistic while at the same time high enough to motivate sellers to push themselves to sell, sell, sell.

In addition to goal setting, this e-book touches on sales accountability, online selling, delivery issues, and post fundraiser analysis.

Our experience with y'all has been fantastic!!! Everyone in the office has been so helpful, especially with our endless questions! We really loved that the products came in already boxed with the students name, teacher and grade on a label! You have no idea how much stress that took off! That is always one of the biggest hassles!

Thank you so much for making this the most stress free fundraiser ever! We look forward to working with you again!
