We had a wonderful experience with Big Fundraising Ideas. The representatives were awesome to work with and made sure that everything ran smoothly for us. I liked the fact that our area reps stayed in contact with me to make sure we had everything we needed. It was very easy for me to call when I had questions and they were available to answer all of my questions.
Brochure fundraising allows schools to collect the money before receiving their order. This means sponsors won't have to spend extra time chasing down money later.
To get an idea of how much money you can make, use our ’Calculate Your Profit’ tool found on each brochure page. Enter your group size and student item goal.
Before your sale, we’ll send you a catalog, order form and money collection envelope for each student. Ask your students to show the brochure to family, neighbors and friends. After 2 weeks, send us your order forms for processing.
Your profit is the difference between how much you collect and your invoice. We’ll also work with you to schedule your delivery date.
For most of our brochures your profit is 40%. You make 50% on our fall and spring flower brochures.
Group size and brochure type determine order requirements. For more information, click on the ‘free shipping’ link found on each brochure page.
We ship all supplies free of charge. You'll receive brochures, order forms, money collection envelopes and prize flyers.
Seasonal shoppers, cookie dough, and frozen food are the most popular programs.
One way is to ensure that students are selling both out of their brochure and online. Online sales can account for more than 50% of your total profits. Learn more
We recommend 2 full weeks including weekends.
Brochure sales offer plenty of options and can thus yield great results. And showing a catalog to family and friends presents the opportunity to share your cause. Yet engaging your community can be intimidating.
But with our brochures and the right techniques you’re likely to hit your sales goals! One of our favorites is cookie dough, which is a tried and true classic brochure fundraiser. Or, if it’s autumn, try a pie brochure. Gourmet Pies offers a classic Pumpkin Pie that would be easy to slice up for Thanksgiving dinner.
Another option for traditional catalog sales is holiday gift wrap. Almost everyone will need it. So position this essential item alongside a compelling mission for your fundraiser. People will be thankful that you saved them a trip to a crowded department store.
Pro tip: Make sure to remind people that the gift wrap is double-sided! This is a huge value-add, and customers will appreciate getting more for their money.
The major benefit to doing a brochure fundraiser is that you won’t ever run the risk of buying more than you can sell. This means that no matter the results, you will always be profitable. Brochures sales ensure no extra charges for needless product.
Sometimes with fundraisers like candy bars or pretzel rods, kids may lose an item or two. This results in an imbalanced spreadsheet of purchases. Selling out of a catalog eliminates this risk. When selling out of a brochure, customers place orders on an order form.
Additionally, catalog fundraiser sales are generally face-to-face with ample opportunity to converse. This benefit can make the entire process very personable. Delivering products is a great way to remind people why they supported you in the first place. And it’s a surefire way to connect with people in your community!
Building these kinds of relationships can create a sustainable customer base. Friends and family can support you year after year in reaching your sales goals. Be sure to thank customers again once they receive their product.
