We do not recommend placing our tumblers in the microwave or dishwasher. A care card is placed inside each tumbler, and it's suggested that they be hand washed instead.

For color designs, each tumbler is inserted into a Helix machine. The art is loaded and directly applied to the tumbler while spinning inside the machine. After the art is applied, it's followed by an application of varnish, which is UV dried. The varnish protects the logo that was applied to the tumbler. The artwork is not a sticker or vinyl application but a digital print.

For laser-etched designs, every stainless steel tumbler is coated with a color, such as red or white. The laser follows a design path to etch away the color applied over the raw silver steel, leaving the logo design behind. The silver color will then show through where the logo was engraved.

Yes, selling online is essential to your Drinkware Done Differently fundraiser. Before your start date, you'll receive instructions so your participants can register. Once registered, they can invite friends and family to shop at your store.

Raising money online adds a 2^nd way for your group to raise money.

Registration is the best way to get your participants engaged in your cause. Once registered, participants can invite friends and family to your online store using text, social media, and email. They'll also be able to log into their sales portal anytime and track their online sales.

Once potential supporters arrive at your store, the participant's name appears at the top of the page. This helps to personalize your fundraiser. For example, "You're shopping for John Doe".

Registered sellers will also be eligible to earn credit toward prizes. We encourage groups to supplement our prize program with their rewards. This can bring in even more sales. Here are some incentive ideas.

There are two ways to promote your store:

1. Registration: Participants will need your group link to register. This way, they can log in and track their sales progress. When they share the link with friends and family using social media, text, and email, visitors will see the participant's name when they arrive at the store.
2. Direct Link: If you don't want your group members to register, they can send your group link.

By promoting a direct link, you can only track online sales as a group, not by individual sellers. As a result, participants would not receive prize credit for selling online.

Online Ship-to-Group Orders

Another limitation to sellers not registering is getting items to online customers who choose the 'ship to group' option. Typically when participants register and send out their unique links, and customers make a purchase, orders are automatically tied to a particular seller.

Any items shipped to the group are already packed inside the seller's box with their other brochure items. Participants then deliver these items to their customers.

But with the single link option, you must let any 'ship to group' buyers know to pick up their order because it won't be associated with any seller.

People can donate in increments of $25, $50, $100, and $250. Your group receives 70% profit from all donations.

Or, if you don't want a donation option in your store, you can have this feature turned off. Let us know before your fundraiser start date.

The online store is set up so that only 1 participant receives credit for a particular sale.

Once you let us know that you have entered your brochure order forms into your online portal, we will close your store.

We will send your online sales profit check once we receive your brochure sales invoice payment. If you sold more online than through the brochure, payments are processed within five business days after your 'ship-to-group' order ships.

There are no order requirements for a Drinkware Done Differently fundraiser.

You'll need to know your group size and participant goal. Here's how you can estimate your profit:

Calculation Steps

1. Participant Count x Participant Item Goal = Items Sold
2. Items Sold x Average Retail Price = Gross Sales
3. Gross Sales x Profit % = Group Profit

Example

1. Let's say you have 60 participants and set your participant item goal at 10. The items sold would be 60 participants x 10 Items/participant = 600.
2. Next, determine your gross sales. The average retail price is about $25, so your gross sales would be 600 Items x $25 = $15,000.
3. Since your profit is 40%, your group profit would be $15,000 x 40% = $6,000.

Keep in mind our example is only an estimated profit. In reality, participants probably won't sell the same number of items. In addition, the average retail dollars sold per seller will vary.

Brochure: You probably won't know how many orders you get until you collect your order forms. Yet some strategies can give you a ballpark idea. Learn how to track your fundraising progress

Online: You'll be able to track online sales in real-time. By logging into your dashboard, you'll see the following:

• Which participants have registered
• Individual participant and group sales progress

Brochure Sales: Money and order forms are turned in at the end of the sale. The money gets deposited in the group's account, and the order forms are processed.

Once orders are processed, the group receives its sales reports and invoice. The group sends a check for the invoice amount and keeps the rest as profit.

Online Sales: Once we receive your brochure invoice payment, we'll send your online sales profit check.

Groups make 40% off all Drinkware Done Differently tumbler sales.

You receive 70% of online donations.
