There is still time for a wreath fundraiser!

Does your nonprofit group need a fundraiser this fall?  If you sign up right away, you still have a little time to run a quick wreath fundraiser.  To give your group the most time to sell, you’ll want to opt for our Direct Delivery Program.  With that program, your group will sell only the individual Gift Items, the minimum order is 10 items, and your Final Order is due to us by November 9th.

 
Here are some tips to get a fundraiser going quickly.  
 

  1. Call our office to sign up.  This is the quickest way to get the flyers and other sales materials out to you.  If you call in the morning, we’re able to ship out the flyers that day.
  2. When you sign up, find out your login information to our Customer Tools area.  You can utilize tools we have available to spread the word to your group electronically.  This is the fastest way to get the word out for the sale.  You can augment this with the paper flyers.
  3. Send an email to your group with the flyer you created in the Customer Tools area or post it to your online group.  Your members will be able to learn about and spread the word quickly with this email-able flyer.
  4. Emphasize the deadline with your group so they know they have a limited time to sell and emphasize a sales goal for the fundraiser, i.e. 100% participation, or sell 5 items per person.
  5. 2-3 days before the end of your sales drive send out an email or post to your group that the sales drive is ending—tell them how to turn their orders in to you.
  6. Collect the orders and compile your orders before turning your Final Order in to Sherwood Forest Farms.

Of course, this is just a short list of the highlights on running the sales drive quickly.  If you have other tips, let us know!  

Give us a call at 1-800-767-7778 if you have questions or want to sign up.  We’re always happy to have the opportunity to help!
