Have a Successful Fund Raiser this Fall!

It's back to school season, which means time to start fund raising! It's never too early to begin planning your upcoming fund raisier.

Follow these tips to have a successful and fun fall fund raiser:

	Set your Goal. Define why you are having the fund raiser and clearly state the amount of money you need to raise. Be specific: "The soccer team has a fund raising goal of $3,000 so they can purchase new uniforms and equipment for this season."
	Choose the right products. You can either purchase our $1 and $2 products offered on the website, or you can get in contact with a factory direct sales representative who can discuss our wide range of products. Certain products are sold only through our factory direct sales reps including $5 Continental® Collection items such as Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds, Malted Milk Balls, Chocolate Covered Pecas and many other products.
	Organize a Kick Off. A Kick Off is an event that marks the official beginning of your fund raising activity. It's a great way to get the group motivated and excited about your fund raiser! At this time you can set a beginning and ending date for your fund raiser and communicate the dates to your groups members. Typically a successful fund raising campaign lasts 2-4 weeks.
	Sell! Sell! Sell! Sell to your friends, family members, and neighbors first. Always have children sell in the company of others, never go alone. Explain your reason for fund raising when selling the chocolate. Personalize your chocolate bar label with a logo/photo, organization name, fund raising cause and watch the chocolate sell itself!
	Manage your profits. Choose an event organizer to keep track of the profits your organization has earned. Select an organized person who can stay on top of deadlines, can be trusted with handling money and can keep the group motivated and excited about selling chocolate.
