What Our Customers Say

Delivery actually came about a full week ahead of what I had initially estimated, so it made it easy to distribute the cups to my players in time for them to give to their customers.

The fundraiser was great. The online sales made it very easy for my students to sell and have customers from areas outside of our normal fundraising area.

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.

It went very well. We did have a couple of issues with parents turning in the order forms (not being able to read the item number) but other than that it went great. It was our first year so we did learn as we went. Next year we will know exactly what to do.

Things went great. No issues and no one said they are missing any items. Delivery was great. Truck backed in, unloaded and was gone in 15 minutes. All packages were marked clearly and loved the BIG printed names on each. It was great working with you and hope to do again next fall.

Balloons tied to person wearing crazy socksHow Do Specialty Fundraisers Work?

Sponsors are looking for unique fundraising ideas. They want to stand out from the crowd. A brochure focusing on a single product category or theme can make a powerful statement.

First, select a specialty brochure. We'll send you brochures, order forms, and money envelopes for everyone in your group. You'll also receive a parent information letter with instructions.

After you take orders, send us your order forms for processing. We'll then send you a sales report and an invoice and work with you to schedule your delivery date.

Want to estimate how much money your group can make? Type your student count and goal into our 'Calculate Your Profit' tool. You'll find our calculator on each brochure page. Your profit is the difference between the total money you collect and your invoice.

  • Be aware of the holidays when scheduling your fundraiser. Your student should have ample time to deliver their merchandise beforehand.
  • Plan to meet with your students to kick off your sale. This allows you to discuss your goals and expectations.
  • Tell students how many items they need to sell to reach your goal.
  • Teach your students the ‘NOW Selling Method’. They need to tell people their ‘Name’, ‘Organization’, and ‘Why’ they’re raising money.
  • Provide a deadline date for turning in order forms and money.
  • Be sure to keep a copy of the order forms for your records.

 

More Specialty Fundraiser Ideas

Pick an item to wow your customers with a specialty catalog fundraiser. These unique, curated products will set you apart from the pack.

Specialty catalogs show you mean business. They focus on one item but can offer many varieties of it. These brochures are a good idea for targeting specific niche audiences—for example, hazelnut crème coffee for a book club meeting early in the morning.

"Ultimate Coffee" is our favorite because no day is complete without a cup of morning joe. The donut shop blend is the best to pair with other bakery items and even comes in a decaf version.

If you plan to sell to the other parents at the book club, ensure the smell of coffee is in the air when they arrive—each 11oz bag of coffee yields around 70 cups.

If you want some name-brand recognition, check out Poppin Popcorn. Poppin Popcorn offers several classic flavors, including caramel corn and white cheddar. Other unique flavors include jalapeño cheddar and Zebra®. All popcorn is popped in coconut oil, has no high fructose corn syrup, and is gluten-free and GMO-free.

Crazy Socks is another fun brochure to sell and will get people's attention. It offers a variety of exciting options, like Coffee Time, Pizza Slice, Gamer, and Rock & Roll socks.

Another specialty catalog option is to sell your school tumbler. Our tumblers can be customized with your school name, logo, and colors. Teams can show their tumbler brochure to raise money for tournaments or competitions.

22 oz. Tritan tumbler is BPA free, microwave and dishwasher safe. It also comes with a lifetime guarantee. Tumblers help raise awareness for your cause and regularly remind you of school spirit.

Specialty brochures are an excellent option for the variety catalog. One of our favorite specialty brochures is the Heartland Candles brochure. Candles are ideal for a back-to-school teacher gift or a birthday present for Mom.

They're also popular. You'll find them in almost every home (7 out of every 10 Americans, to be exact!), which means they have wide appeal. Candles are perfect for holiday fundraisers if you want to sell "gift-able" products.

Two seasonal catalogs include our fall or spring flower lines. Our flowers are eco-friendly and smell wonderful. With a 100% grow guarantee, they'll beautify anyone's garden. Make sure you know when we offer these programs during the school year.

You might focus on the niche church market for this type of fundraiser. Sell them after Sunday school or at a church dinner to capitalize on your target audience. Yet, there's a large selection of flowers; you can sell them to almost anyone.

It's important to understand the audience you plan to sell to and identify the perfect time and place for the event. A coffee fundraiser during a school carnival doesn't make sense. Parents outside at an event would be too distracted to think about when they might want coffee.

Yet a gourmet popcorn fundraiser would make complete sense. They may already have some, making selling it the perfect gift. Put yourself in the customer's shoes, and you'll be set up for success.
