Getting to meet and speak with groups, school boards, PTOs and PTAs has definitely opened my eyes to the struggles you all face on your side of fundraising. The most common problem I have heard about is organization! Everybody wants to raise the money, but not enough people volunteer for the hard work. Distributing products from a catalog fundraiser can be challenging if not prepared correctly. In order to keep the school from breaking out in a mad, black Friday kind of rush, plan AHEAD for your next fundraiser.
Set up your fundraiser dates to coincide with your parent teacher conferences. Distributing products during a parent teacher conference seems to make the most sense! School is out, and you will already have a set appointment with each students parent. The less stress for all of you, the better. If the distribution is the worst part for you, just don’t do it alone! Like I recently told a school board, “give me a call when you are ready to distribute your Big Dog Fundraising items, and I will be more than happy to help.” If that means I come to your school and help with this process, then that’s just what I will do. At Big Dog Fundraising, we are dedicated to helping you meet and exceed your fundraising goals, along with making your experience with Big Dog Fundraising the most pleasant fundraising experience you have had! If you have any additional tips, concerns or questions; talk to us! We love hearing from you. Hearing your struggles only helps us help you; we can help turn your struggles into success! Remember, it’s ALL in the bag with Big Dog Fundraising!
