Organizational Tips

• Identify your organizational needs and fundraising goals

• Motivate your organization and members

• Relay the organizational goals to the parents and participants

• Begin planning the logistics of distributing the products to the participants, and eventually, to the supporters

Helpful Hints

• Set a daily goal based on how much time is available

• Practice your sales presentation with your participants

• Show customers the Order Form so they can see the various team options

• Be helpful if the customer is indecisive, and be prepared to offer a suggestion

• Keep a copy of your customers' name and purchases for next year's fundraising drive

When selling be sure to follow these steps:

• Introduce yourself, (Hello, my name is_____)

• Tell the person why you are fundraising (We are trying to raise money for our football program…)

• Ask if they would like to buy multiples of your items.

• Tell them your item is a great, inexpensive gift for fans of any age

• Be sure to thank the customer (Even if they do not buy any of your items - remember you are representing your team and town.)

Most people are more than willing to help you in your fundraising efforts. They have probably been in a few themselves. Always remember to thank them and wish them a pleasant day. A good product and good service will quickly bring you success in your fundraising efforts.
