We sold jelly beans and we had a great turn out. Everything went great. We were very pleased with our outcome. We reached our goal to purchase t-shirts and had money leftover. Thanks for being patient and answering all my questions! Next time should go much smoother since we will know better how it all works.

Great experience for my boys to learn about sales and public speaking. They were motivated to sell because of the prize program and were proud to have earned funds for our club activities. Will definitely work with you all again.

The products sold well for the most part. We had planned to sell quite a bit more, but with quite a few of our group either being quarantined as a precautionary or no longer on the team after fundraiser was planned, it didn't go as hoped.

Group of Middle School StudentsHow Does Catalog Fundraising Work?

Brochure fundraising allows you to collect the money before receiving your order, so you won't have to spend extra time chasing down money later.

Use our 'Calculate Your Profit' tool on each brochure page to learn how much money you can make. Enter your group size and seller item goal.

Before your sale, we'll send each participant a catalog, order form, and money collection envelope. Ask your sellers to show the brochure to family, neighbors, and friends. After two 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.

Family Viewing Fundraising BrochureCatalog Fundraiser Suggestions & Tips

  • Schedule a kickoff meeting to discuss goals, the process, and when money and orders are due.
  • Enforce the "don't talk to strangers" rule. Instead, remind them to ask Mom and Dad to take the catalog to work.
  • Establish an item goal for your sellers and encourage them to set short-term daily goals.
  • Remind your group to tell people who they represent and why they're selling.
  • Tell them to be ready to sell. Always have their catalog, order form, money collection envelope, and pen.
  • Make sure they're familiar with the brochure. They should be able to point out various items to people.
  • Track your participants' sales progress.
More Brochure Fundraiser Ideas

Brochure sales offer plenty of options and can thus yield great results. And showing a catalog to family and friends allows you to share your cause. Yet engaging your community can be intimidating.

But with our brochures and the proper techniques, you will likely hit your sales goals! One of our favorites is cookie dough, a tried and true classic brochure fundraiser. Or, if it’s autumn, try a pie brochure. Gourmet Pies offers a traditional 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 you saved them a trip to a crowded department store.

Pro Tip: Remember 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 of doing a brochure fundraiser is that you won’t ever risk buying more than you can sell. This means that no matter the results, you will always be profitable. Brochure sales ensure no extra charges for needless products.

Kids may lose an item or two with fundraisers like candy bars or pretzel rods. This results in an imbalanced spreadsheet of purchases. Selling out of a catalog eliminates this risk. Customers place orders on an order form when selling out of a brochure.

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 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.

Check out some of our favorites if you plan to have a brochure fundraiser. Otis Spunkmeyer® Cookie Dough and Popcornopolis® are very popular. Diversity, high-quality items, and appealing price points make this sale appealing.

Don’t forget to select a prize program to complement your brochure. Students will be extra motivated to sell if an appealing prize or fun experience awaits them at the end! Plus, prizes are free to your group.
