School Fundraising Product Feature: Keep it Sweet!

Discover our quality confections and earn big money.

School product and brochure fundraisers offer teachers and students more choices than ever regarding the type of products they want to sell. Whether your school changes it yearly or is known for an annual kitchenware or cookie dough fundraiser, the options are almost endless.

As the holidays approach and the calendar fills with cookie swaps and family gatherings, it felt like a fantastic time to share about some of the quality confections that will please customers and earn your school big money.

Cookie Dough Fundraisers

As school fundraisers go, cookie dough is a classic item that has helped schools earn cash year in and year out. Parents love buying this quick, easy sweet snack they can keep in the freezer for months. Schools love selling it because they get to keep 40% of gross sales to help close critical gaps in funding.

Big Fundraising Ideas offers four outstanding cookie dough brochures, each with different combinations and quantities to accommodate any school's price point. For just $18, customers can get up to 48 cookies. With unique flavor options like "Lemon Cooler" and a crowd-pleasing variety pack, this is a gold standard in sweets to sell to meet your fundraising goal. Our cookie dough brochures also include gluten-free and kosher-certified options.

Sweet & Savory

School fundraising brochures don't have to be elementary. If you want to offer a product with a bit more sophisticated appeal, consider the Sweet & Savory brochure, which offers gourmet chocolate confections and other popular options. This fundraiser offers a variety of tasty snacks like gallon-sized popcorn, assorted nuts, and chocolate at an accessible price point that can lead to high-volume sales.

Lollipops and Candy Bars

Product fundraisers are still popular for many schools, especially since customers immediately enjoy their purchases. Many schools still choose the candy bar fundraiser or the even more affordable lollipop fundraiser to raise extra money for their classrooms and clubs. Students carry these items with them, make sales to family and friends, and turn in the cash at the fundraiser's end. Each case of candy bars sold can yield up to $120 in profits, while lollipops can yield up to $173. You'll be amazed at how cheap, popular products can yield big results through high-volume sales.

Pies

Two more sweet brochures round out our confectionary offerings: Ovens of Ashley and Sweet Perfection gourmet frozen pies. Made with high-quality ingredients, these brochures offer amazing dessert options that will reduce time and hassle for the busy family while ensuring everyone's sweet tooth is satisfied. With classics like lemon meringue and apple to French silk and peach praline, there's sure to be something for everyone in these brochures. Your school can make big bucks, keeping 40% of gross profits on these stellar sweet offerings.

In the wise words of Ernestine Ulmer, "Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first." While desserts are pretty perfect as they are, it certainly sweetens the deal when they can make a positive difference in your school.
