Great experience! Clay was very helpful and answered my many questions since this was my first time running a fund raiser.
HELPING SCHOOLS RAISE MILLIONS SINCE 1999
There are plenty of reasons schools fundraise in the spring. Field trips, Teacher Appreciation Week, Mother's Day, and Easter, to name a few.
Once you decide on a spring fundraising catalog, choose a prize program to go with it. Our incentive plans are free and will help motivate your group to sell.
Each student receives a brochure, order form, prize flyer, and an envelope to deposit the money. We'll also provide a personalized parent letter with your group's information.
Be sure to have a kickoff meeting with your students. Explain the steps, your sales goals, and how they can win prizes.
You'll want them to approach family, friends, and neighbors and ask people to buy one or more items from their catalog. Spring fundraisers last two weeks to give people time to collect orders and money.
Once you're done, send us your order forms. We'll then process and pack your student's orders. Along with your invoice, you'll receive your sales reports.
We'll also work with you to schedule your delivery date.
Product sales give you the most return on your volunteer hour. Catalogs with the widest variety of well-priced items usually raise the most money.
Focus on selling products celebrating a popular holiday or theme, like Easter or Mother’s Day.
There is no cost for prizes; they come packed inside your students' boxes.
The biggest sellers are chocolates and candies. But consider looking for a spring catalog that offers various items. The biggest sellers include kitchenware, home accessories, and even flowers.
If you live in an area that is price-sensitive, our all $10 spring catalog may be a good option. It offers great value and selection.
Spring is a great time to have a sale because there’s less competition from other groups than during the fall.
Most companies offer a no questions asked free replacement policy.
Spring is all about being outside - and so are spring catalogs!
The sun is out, the grass is getting greener, and it’s time to wake up and smell the flowers or plant them. Earth Day and MotherMother'sappen in the spring. So what better way to spend those days than planting and caring for beautiful flowers?
Choose a catalog with lots of variety. Include Kitchen and home accessories, jewelry, candles, snacks, and candy. Customers will experience great value if a third of the catalog costs $15 or less.
Spring catalogs should also offer plenty of flower seeds. A popular choice is the moss-verbena. You need something verbena-scented if you’ve walked into a candle store. The aroma is magical! When bloomed, they vary in shades of mauve, purple, white, pink, apricot, and red. They also spread with little effort.
Flowers aren’t the only thing you can grow from our catalogs. Customers have the option to buy strawberry seeds! Get immersive with your spring sale. Bring fresh strawberries along while you make your pitch to customers. Imagine if customers could see or bite into a real strawberry while you show them the brochure.
Other products are delicious gourmet snacks, Jelly Belly®, Reese'Reese's®, and Auntie Anne's®.
If mom is allergic to flowers, she may still love the smell. In that case, our candles are a great fit. They have the fresh smell of spring, and the aroma lasts for hours!
Flower seeds aren’t the only hot item in spring. Our spring fundraising catalogs cover all your Easter basket needs. If you want to focus on Easter or Mother's Day, be sure to wrap up a least a month in advance. This gives customers time to get their orders.
Or, your school may be doing a late spring carnival and need to buy food and prizes for patrons. People will feel good knowing they're helping to pay for your event. “Heartland Spring Collection” checks all the boxes. With snacks, candies, and even honey-roasted peanuts, there's something for everyone.
People can even buy monogrammed bags and personalized totes. This is great if you’re selling to someone crafting an Easter basket from scratch!
Don’t forget to take advantage of the outdoors with these spring-themed brochures. Try fundraising during outdoor activities or birthday parties in the park. Talk about gifts for the upcoming spring holidays or baked goods to enjoy in the warmer weather. There are also dozens of options for amazing outdoor barbecues and picnics.
