How long is the fundraiser?
We recommend giving your sellers one week to sell their smen allocation and turn in the money.
TIP: Use a tracking sheet to ensure timely and accurate money turn-in.
How much should I order?
The size of your order depends on the number of participants in your group and how many smens you want them to sell. Since Tri-Color Gel Smens comes with ten inner buckets of 32 in each case, consider issuing 16 to each seller.
To determine how many cases to order, divide the number of participants in your group by 10. Round up to the following case number if needed.
You can also use our 'Profit Calculator' at the top of the page.
Do you take back unsold products?
We do not accept returns.

Making Sales
Is there a minimum order?
There is a 1-case minimum order requirement.
How much money can we make?
Estimating your profit is easy. Consider the following example.
A sponsor with 55 participants wants everyone to sell 16 smens:
- 55 participants x 16 smens / participant = 880 smens
- 880 smens ÷ 320 smens / case = 2.75 cases (Round up)
- 3 cases x 320 smens / case = 960 smens
- 960 smens x $2.00 / smen = $1,920.00 retail
- $1,920.00 x 45% profit = $864.00 profit
The profit percentage would be 45% because you must order 3 cases. See the 'Case Pricing' table at the top of this page. (Volume discounts apply)
