Magazine Fundraising

How a Magazine Fundraiser Works

School fundraiser magazine sales have been around a long time. But magazine fundraisers have gotten a little stale. That's why we have attempted to simplify the process for holding school magazine fundraising programs. Here are the easy steps involved with getting your magazine fundraiser program started.

Plan Your Magazine Fundraiser.

The first thing you need to do is determine how many people will be selling magazines. We will send you a free brochure showing all of the magazines in the program with all necessary information, an order form and a cash collection envelope for each seller. Each person needs one of each to get started.

Plan your magazine fund raiser dates. You want to choose a start date, an end date, a turn in date and a delivery date. Our staff will help plan these dates if you would like. A typical school fund raiser with magazine lasts for two weeks. So your end date should be approximately two weeks after you begin your sale. Give yourself a couple of days to tally orders and money and get stragglers and then call or turn your order in to our sales staff. We ship your magazine vouchers within a couple of days of getting your order and payment arrangements.

Request Your Pre-Sell Forms.

Once you have gathered the details mentioned in "STEP 1" above you are ready to request your pre-sell order forms. To see a sample of the order forms for your fundraiser just click on the image or link to the right. Get started with Magazine Fundraiser Items by selecting one of the following two options:

Pre-Sell Magazine and Place your Order

Hand out the order forms to your participants and have them sell the magazines using the order forms we have provided. They should collect their money at the time of the sale and let people know when they will be delivering the magazines. It is helpful to give participants a kick off letter detailing all critical dates. We can provide one for magazine subscription fund raisers if you would like.

At the end of your sale, collect all the order forms and money from your sellers. Tally everything together. Remember it does not matter which specific magazines were sold. The voucher we send you can be used for any of the magazines in the program.
