Posted on 08/10/2010But so many fundraising teams don't take full advantage of all the ways they can use Hershey fundraising to their advantage, and that results in lower sales and profits than what they could have if they just had some better marketing ideas.
You're lucky to have chosen a product that practically sells itself, so why not make the most of it by maximizing your profits at every turn? One of the biggest mistakes people make with Hershey chocolate fundraising is simply not having their product with them when the fundraising opportunity arises.
Chocolate is not something you take orders for weeks in advance; people want to have their snack exactly when they think about it. The easiest way to make good sales and profits is to have your carrier with you at all times during the day. Even if you are not actively fundraising at the time, people will see the carrier and ask you about it. Many times this translates into sales you hadn't even counted on.
Hershey fundraising is easy when you incorporate it into your day. Whether you work in an office, a school, or anywhere else, everyone takes a lurch break. Being in the right place at the right time is how you create your own luck.
Hang around the break room at lunch time, and give people a better alternative to whatever's in the vending machine. For kids, after school is a perfect time to get Hershey fundraising rolling. No matter what your situation or circumstances, it's a good idea to be ready for anything, and you can make the most of your Candy Fundraiser by being the person who is there with the Hershey's candy bars when people are in the mood for a snack.
