How Can I Successfully Organize a Fundraiser Booth at a Community Yard Sale?

In summary, the speaker has offered to do a fundraiser for a local organization's county fair. They have secured an indoor spot and are planning to have product available for customers to order. They also plan to have a display for recruiting and bridal registry. The fair has a Facebook page and the speaker hopes to get other vendors involved in a mystery host deal. They are asking for advice on how to make the fundraiser successful and considering asking their team for help. Some tips and ideas include recruiting team members to assist, creating an attractive display, marketing the event, and setting up a system to track sales and donations.

I have offered to do a fundraiser for a local organization that runs our county fair (its volunteer run). They are doing a community wide yard sale/craft show/flea market weekend at the fair grounds. Instead of having my own yard sale i offered to do a fundraiser for them to help with their building repairs project (which is why they are having this yard sale/flea mkt).

I have secured an indoor spot that is 20x20. #1 I have never done a fundraiser yet #2 I have never done a booth. I have read for hours the amount of posts here on CS about booths and seen the great displays.

In my mind I am working on sales (fundraiser) and personally I need bookings as I'm in a bookings slump. I would think I need to have a lot of product on site for them to 'shop' (order via catalog, not cash n carry). A table with the new consultant kit for recruiting, a table or the other half of that table with bridal registry on it for those late summer/fall wedding goers.

The fair has a facebook page so I thought i'd have them blast out about the fundraiser and even try to get each of the 'vendors' (those having a yard sale) do a mystery host type deal and hope to get 100.00 in orders from at least 10-20 people. I dont have a final count on participants yet.

I'm babbling, I know. Sorry! Any ideas of where you would go with this? What you wouldn't do? What you would do? Tips? Ideas? Display ideas? I'm feeling selfish due to needing bookings so I was going to do it by myself but its all day for an entire weekend. I'm nuts right? Should I ask others on my team to help? (for those on my team that my read this, sorry!)

Please babble back :) I'm so confused in my head that I'm looking for any babble you can provide. Thanks so much! :confused:
 
I think it's great that you are offering to do a fundraiser for this local organization. It sounds like you have a great plan in place, but here are some tips and ideas to help you make it a success. First, I would suggest recruiting some of your team members to help you out. They can help with setup, selling products, and engaging with customers. This will allow you to focus on booking parties and meeting with potential recruits. Second, it is important to have an organized, attractive display. You can use tables, shelving, and fabric to create a visually appealing space. Make sure to create a focal point so that customers know where to start. You may also want to consider setting up a few displays to showcase your products. Third, you need to market the event. Try to get the word out about the fundraiser to as many people as possible. Use social media, flyers, and word-of-mouth to get the message out. You may also want to reach out to the local media to see if they can cover the event. Finally, make sure to set up a system to track sales and donations. This will help you keep track of how much money was raised for the organization. I hope these tips and ideas help you make the fundraiser a success! Good luck!
