There are many reasons why an organization may need to raise money
. There's also dozens of ways to raise that money. A very popular choice is the mag fundraiser. This is a popular choice because it is fairly easy and yields a good payout.
Before deciding on this method to raise money, there are a couple of things to consider. The number of people involved is one factor to think about. It does not take a very large group to make the project a success, but the more people participating will of course increase the odds of how many subscriptions are sold. Timing is also important. Offering something around the holidays is a sensible way to boost the odds of sales.
A time frame must be laid out before starting this project. A fair amount of time to have decent revenue generated is two weeks. Any less and the team may not feel like enough time was given to contact enough people. Going any further than that often leads to procrastination, which often results in failure to generate subscriptions.
A target must be set before the launching of the project. The group leader who is organizing the event should meet with the treasurer or the person in charge of funds for the organization. A specific plan needs to be outlined and information gathered on what the funds shall be used for and how the group will benefit from it. Share with the entire group just how much needs to be raised and come up with how many subscriptions each person should endeavor to sell to fulfill this goal.
Next decide which company to go with for your fund raising needs. There are various options. Compare how much profit can be earned as well as what subscriptions are available. Cost of the items should be compared as well.
Some companies are geared towards door to door sales. Others have the option of doing the contacting and sales online through emails. It's best to go with a company that provides both of these methods.
Having a successful magazine fundraiser is easy to do as long as the group is all in agreement on how the funds will be spent and also on how much each person should aim to sell. A strong leader should take the lead and set a good example and supply motivational marketing tips. Start with approaching people who are familiar with the club and then branch off for optimum results.
