Baseball Fundraising

Baseball fundraising is as common as hot dogs, baseball gloves and sunflower seeds. Only thing is that most people hate to even think about baseball fund raisers.

Why is that?

For some baseball leagues, associations and teams, baseball fundraising has become as dull as watching the grass grow in the outfield. They do the same old thing every year. Even though results have not been as good as they would have liked for years. They figure they have always done it that way, so they will continue to do it that way.

Just think about that. No coach would have his players do the same thing every single time. Imagine how many games you would lose if base runners choose to attempt to steal a base every time the batter got two strikes? The opposing teams would figure it out quickly and the results would get worse and worse. It's the same thing with fundraising.

While candy fundraising is a great idea, you just don't want to offer it every single time you need new uniforms or new bases or a new scoreboard. Offer candy one season. Then consider cookie dough fundraisers the next year. Or you might want to look at scratch off cards.

The point is, you want to mix up your fundraisers the same way you mix up what you have your pitcher throw. Keep it interesting. Keep people paying attention.

Of course, if you know you are doing two baseball fundraisers each season, and Domino's Pizza Fundraising Cards have produced great results in the early spring, sell pizza cards again early next spring. If your pitcher is dominating batters with his fastball, you do not want to abandon the fastball just for the sake of change. You just don't want to throw fastballs every pitch. Throw in a change up or a slider or a breaking ball. But depend on the fastball as your main weapon.

Think about baseball fundraising the same way you run your team and you will have much stronger results. We would love to help. Call us toll free (866) 874-8383 or click here for a FREE 24-page catalog filled with baseball fundraising ideas.
