Are you asking yourself if your organization should fundraise in this economy? We think that even though the state of the Economy isn't the greatest, we need to look ahead to the future and keep trying our best to make it a better and brighter one, especially for our children! Why should they do without if we can still work hard at making their life a good one. We don't know how long this situation will last, so we need to do the best we can and take things one day at a time.
We at Mid States Fundraising are offering a lot of choices, in fundraising, for your families to purchase from your group what they would normally buy anyway. Why shouldn't your organization benefit from those things when your parents aren't going to stop buying them?
If you feel that a Holiday catalog is still something that will work for your school, ours is full of great quality items for your families and friends with the majority of items priced at $10 or less. Our profits are comparable to anyone out there, and we promise you service that is unbeatable.
Do you think that you would rather choose from items that your families might find more appealing because it is food related and something we all need to survive? We have nonperishable foods that are fun and interesting, such as popcorn, cookie dough (with funnel cakes) and our newest creative and unique item- Pasta! If you can support the perishable items, we carry the David's cookie dough that tastes just like grandma used to bake, as well as gourmet pies, and the well loved "Zap A Snack" Pizza.
SOME PEOPLE ARE COUPON LOVERS! We have the newest in entertainment style coupon books with the "Enjoy the City" book. This book is definitely something that works in any economy. Who doesn't love coupons! There are new cities being printed so if you are curious about where you live, just ask us.
There is also the $1 items that you can try, such as our green fundraiser Smencils. You get to keep $.50 of each smencil sold. That's a great profit to earn while selling something necessary (pencils are great for any age) and fun. In addition to that, we have the gourmet lollipops and the chocolate bars.
Love Flowers in Spring? Who doesn't! Why give the nurseries all the money instead of giving some back to your organization. Now, we have teamed up with three of the oldest mail order companies around - SPRINGHILL, BRECKS, AND GURNEYS- to give you the best fundraiser you can get in Spring or Fall. Not only do you NOT have to worry about pick ups and returns (HOME DELIVERED TO YOUR CUSTOMER'S DOOR), but you are selling a product with a lifetime warranty -those perennials should keep coming back year after year so let us make sure that they do so you get your monies worth! You can also be comforted in knowing that your customers are paying the same price for these products from you in supporting your organization, that they would pay if buying them directly from these companies.
And who doesn't need batteries? Where are those batteries when you need them? Always running to the store to get them? Now you can give something to your customers to buy that they always seem to be without. They can stock up on batteries of all sizes, pay the prices that will save them money over store costs, and your organization will be conducting a worthwhile fundraiser as well!
There are lots of others to choose from, but we hope that we have given you some great fundraising ideas to select from in this ever changing economy. Don't let our kids go without if we can make it work. We are here to help, and we hope that you will let us!!
