I noticed in this thread that you were happy with the company, but wanted to change after one year or two. If it works, why change? Think about this, do you change your plumber every two years? How about your doctor? If you made a lot of money, have a good relationship with the rep and company, and there were minimal problems, why switch? Just to try something new is not a great reason. I know of schools that have worked with the same company for over 12 years in a row. The sale is always successful and they are happy.
We are also currently looking for a company; however this year we sold chocolate bars from cherrydale farms and it was a success. Another company we are looking for next year is GAfundraising.com because the sales rep stated the prizes could be tailored to our needs and preferences of our school. We sold the candy because it is sooo easy and even the kids you least expect to participate did! Also, as a buyer and parent of 3 it was much easier to buy and sell $1 items than a $10 candle. My kids even made a competition amongst themselves. All of their cousins got together and sold in two teams girls vs. boys and grandparents rewarded the higher selling team with the remaining candy; which luckily was not much, but the kids had a blast! They sold six boxes of 42 bars!
Hi! I am new to the boards...so I do apologize if this is posted, but in my brief scrolling around, I didnt see a post. I was curious if there was a list of Fundraiser Companies out there? I have been a fundraising coordinator for a few years, so I am familiar with a few companies out there, but I am always interested in looking into some new ones for our Fall Fundraiser next school year. Our school has about approx 1000 students. Who do you use or have used at your school? Have you liked them? Would you use them again?
Last year, and the year prior our school used Club Choice. It was a great program and we made a lot of money for our school...but having used them for the past 2 years, we are ready for a change, something new. So, I am hunting around for a good company. I do have a few I am looking into more deeply, but I thought maybe some people here would know more!
Thanks in advance for all your help and assistance!
