6 Ways To Boost Redemption Program Profits
Helpful tips for maximizing the profit of your collection fundraiser.
1. Choose the Right Program
There are many redemption programs to choose from, including box tops and labels. Consider which products families are most likely to buy, as well as how often they will buy them.
2. Offer Multiple Collection Points
Most families send box tops or labels to the classroom. But you should also have collection points elsewhere in the school, as well as in the community (pharmacy, senior center, library, etc.).
Join the PTO Today community (it's free) for access to resources, giveaways and more
3. Get the Word Out
While better-known programs benefit from their longevity and advertising, newer programs sometimes get off to a slow start. Spread the word on school websites, at PTO meetings, and with displays in school entryways.
4. Go Digital
Using social media like Facebook can dramatically increase your fundraiser’s profits by allowing you to post collection results, contest reminders, promotions by local stores, and more.
5. Rev Up the Competition
Consider offering incentives like a pizza party for the class that brings in the most to encourage kids’ interest and participation.
6. Enlist Teachers’ Support
While teachers shouldn’t be expected to add to their workloads, a small amount of support can greatly increase profits. Show them your appreciation by offering incentives like books for the classroom or other supplies.
