Prizes
Younger kids get excited with inexpensive glittery toys. Walmart or dollar stores are great resources for these gifts.Your best resource for knowledge about what kids want, are your ownchildren. Kids know what kids want. Here are a few prizes that always go over well.

Prize incentives will double your profits and make your fundraiser fun for everyone. The next step is to get the parents involved. Don't leave this important step out. It can be the most important one.
Involving the parents is an excellent idea! Have prize incentives for the parents and watch the fun begin. They will created their own healthy competition. Many restaurants and spa's give free gift certificates to non-profit group. You can make your parent incentives fun and silly. A prince or princess for the day(crown included can be alot of fun). Call around in your area and see if you can get a hold of a cash machine. The cash machines that blow the money in the air are alot of fun. The kids love to see their parents scrambling for the cash. It is really a hoot. Reach out their and have some fun your self.A fun experience for the parents will insure their participation in all of your fundraisers.
Your attitude will have everything to do with the success of your candle fundraiser. Make sure to keep a fresh attitude even when things go wrong. Don't thinksomething is wrong with your program, just because you have to jump a few hurdles. Keepyoureye on the big picture. A positive, encouraging, approach can be the difference in 1,000's of dollars. Remember the more money you make, the less candle fundraising you will have to do. Just For Me Candle Fundraisers are easy to do and highly profitable.
