How to Prepare for your Fundraiser Kickoff

How to Prepare for your Fundraiser Kickoff
How to Prepare for a School Fundraiser Kickoff

Get your students excited about selling.

The kickoff is one of the essential parts of your entire fundraiser. The primary purpose of the kickoff is to generate enthusiasm and support for your cause. In other words, you have to sell your campaign to your students.

If you're successful and your students buy-in, you will have created much-needed sales momentum to help you reach your financial objective.

But creating enthusiasm and momentum is just the beginning. You'll also need to work to keep the sales coming in throughout your fundraiser.

In addition to preparing for your kickoff, this ebook touches on sales accountability, online selling, delivery issues, and post-fundraiser analysis.

The School Fundraising Guidebook provided by Big Fundraising Ideas is a life saver. As a full-time school district employee with many hats to wear, this guide’s efficiency helps our fundraising run on its own. The guide includes everything needed for a successful fundraiser. I enjoy the convenience of pulling out pre-made forms; making copies and sending them home with the students. It is an easy to follow, self explanatory manual that makes fundraising the successful task I didn’t mind taking on. This guide takes you that extra mile to meet your organizations needs, with little effort by following the time-line and instructions included. Many thanks to those who created this time saving guide which helps us achieve our goals.

This was our first fundraiser and it ran very smoothly. It helped to have the packet to explain the fundraiser process. I had a team in place that facilitated the fundraiser which made my job much easier. We were pleased with the profits and especially the super party. Big Fundraising Ideas was very helpful throughout the entire program. Thanks again for helping our first fundraiser to be a huge success.
