Club Fundraising Events Can Invigorate and Stimulate Your Fundraising Efforts!

No matter what size your group is, there is one sure fire way to boost your sales and pump up the motivation for all of your club members. Club fundraising events are the perfect way to keep everyone going during your fundraiser. When used properly and planned well, club fundraiser events can keep everyone informed of what is happening, help to disseminate information, and keep everyone focused over the course of your fundraiser sale.

Arguably the most important club fundraiser event you can have is the one before you even start selling. This is usually called a kick off meeting or rally. During this event you will want to inform the club members what products they will be selling, what dates you want have the sale, and any goals you have including the reason you are raising money. By getting the entire club on the same page before you even start, you greatly reduce the chance of people turning in their orders late or acting like they had no idea that they were supposed to be selling.

Some clubs will plan to have at least one fundraising event during the course of their sale, more if they will be selling for an extended period of time. The point of this meeting is to make sure everyone is still excited about the fundraiser. It also gives you a chance to take a mid fundraiser tally of what has been sold to date. Knowing how close or how far you are from attaining your goals is a great motivational technique.

There should be two events after the fundraiser ends. One should be to distribute the products to the sellers so they can take them to your customers. The other is to recognize any outstanding sales efforts or to annoucne the total raised. If you are raising money to buy something special you may even want to unveil it at this last meeting.
