Has anyone done an online only fundraiser? How did you make out?

Hello EveryoneTrying to think of an easy fundraiser to test out as my first one. My son's aftercare is pretty large. I was thinking of having each child sell a minimum of 10 trivets so each child would bring in $95 of sales. There are approximately 50 kids.I am thinking that if this is...

Hello! I am a new consultant and I am trying to do some Fundraisers. Does anyone have a letter that they send to perspective fundraising organizations? Just something offering the option of a Pampered Chef fundraiser for the organization?

Where can I find a fundraiser flyer? Are there printable ones or do I have to order them, it's been a loooooong loooooong time since I did one. Or even just info to give to someone.

Does anyone know if a girl scout troop can do a PC fundraiser? My daughter is part of a brand new troop, and we were thinking that something this spring after cookies (which, BTW, aren't that profitable for the troop!) are done might be a good idea.

Hello my daughter needed some funds for her Washington trip next year and her idea is to sell cookie sheet/cake at school by taking orders. Do we have any cookie recipe, using a large bar pan, that anyone would like to share. Thank you.

Ok, I have a fund raiser that will close today that I'm thrilled about but also have a question. The Chairperson and the booking host are both ordering the knife block set. I know that those are not commissionable for me but my question is what total does HO use for their portion of the...

Can someone please explain to me how a fundraiser works with PC?

Ok, I'm not sure what to call this. I'm doing a fundraiser and we're hoping to reach the community and we've got churches and places willing to put up flyers saying to go to this site for info. I'm looking for a sheet where top part I can have picture of our little princess we're doing...

I am doing a "fundraiser" for a gal to benefit a cat shelter. I am NOT setting it up as a true Fundraiser. I am going to donate my entire commission to the shelter. So she would get 20% of the entire show sales rather than 25-30% she could get as doing it as a true FR. What we are thinking...

I am doing a fundraiser for my daughter's preschool. I want to put a label on the front of my catalogs before I drop them off. What do you do? My husband said that I should gear it toward bookings/$3 donation from them. Any suggestions? What works?

I have never used the P3 receipts; however, I intend to order some to use for the fundraiser I have going on. For those of you who use them exclusively, do you just use the OOF at your show, not giving the customer a receipt at that time?

The PTO president is hosting a vendor night at her house and I will be there with a PC table. I haven't had time to think things through. I really want good sales and March bookings. Any creative ideas to encourage both? I'm not doing an official demo, but I"m thinking maybe the DCB...

I recently heard about selling squares as a fundraiser, with 1/2 the funds going to the student/cause and the other 1/2 goes to the winner to be used toward PC products. Does anyone have a form they have used for this?:chef:

Hi everyone! I'm attending a fundraiser that will be a trade show like event with some home based businesses there selling to raise money for a school. I'll have a table to display product, but there won't be a cooking show, so I'm trying to think of what to have that would demonstrate some...

Do I need to contact the charity I want to do a fundraiser for? or just send them a check once I get it from PC. I also want to do a fundraiser for a elementary school in a low income neighborhood. I am not sure if I would feel comfortable asking the parents to sell the stuff. I am not sure how...

I have a list of animal shelters, food pantries, and churches in my area that I am going to start calling to offer fundraisers. Before I do so I would like to have at least a loose script so I don't stumble over my words, lol. I have such a hard time coming up with what to say though! Does...

Help! I know there is not much that could be done, but I really need to vent. I had done my first fundraiser in June for our local baseball team with 500 families. I had put so much time and money into this to make sure everything was perfect. We had a kickoff and tried to have 1 team mom per...

I just set up a fundraiser for a health club and I am not getting many orders.(They are trying to make money for the Making Strides campaign.) They asked me to set up a table with catalogs, business cards, etc. but did not want a "demo". I only have two orders (as I put in another e-mail) and I...

I am so stoked! The flyers have been out for all of a day and I have three calls, two e-mails asking questions! I am doing a combined affair with a PArtyLite person called "Dinner By Candle Light". We are setting up 4 place settings. 1 with my good china, one with the Dots Dinner ware, one for...

Hello All. I'm very new to PC within my 1st 30 days. I was thinking of doing a fundraiser for luekemia. Part of it is selfish because I need bookings in a HUGE way but part of it is very personal for me. 5 years ago my Dad passed away from AML or Acute Myeloid Leukemia. What I'd like to...
