How Do School Fundraisers Work?

Each year schools raise about $1.7 billion selling merchandise. We know it works.

But before you start, decide how to sell our products. We offer three ways to raise money:

1. Take brochure orders
2. Make sales online
3. Sell a product in hand

If you want to take orders first, we’ll send you what you need before your start. Each student gets a brochure, order form, prize flyer, and money envelope. Students then show the brochure to neighbors, family, and friends and ask them to buy one or more items. Money collection takes place up front with the order.

Once finished, deposit the money in your account and send us your order forms. We’ll then send you a sales report and invoice and schedule delivery. Orders arrive packed by the seller to make distribution easy. Your profit is the difference between what you initially deposited and the invoice.

All of our brochure programs include an online store. This gives students a 2^nd way to raise money.

If you want to sell online exclusively, If you want your group to make sales online exclusively, check out our online school fundraisers. There's nothing easier. You have no order forms or money to collect and no product deliveries. Everything ships directly to the customer’s home. And to top it off, we offer exclusive prize programs that can make selling online even more fun and rewarding!

Another option is to order your product up front and then sell it directly to consumers. Instead of using a brochure, your students would have the product in hand.

Knowing how much product to order is essential since you’re receiving the product upfront. You'll need to ask:

1. What is the size of your group?
2. How much do you want them to sell?

We provide a handy ‘Calculate Your Profit’ tool on each product page. You'll know how much to order and how much your group will raise.

To get started, submit a purchase order. Payment is due within 15 days of receiving your product.
