Fall and Spring Update 2-8-23
Fall 2022 was an exceptional fall for most groups who ran a fundraiser. Charleston Wrap had their best fall ever, the average sales per students increased 22% over the fall of 2021, which is surprising when we had such high inflation. Semi-Virtual sales is still the most popular choice for most groups. It does not get any easier! No volunteers needed, no money counting, and no product delivery to the school. The sellers still get to take a preview catalog home and optional prize flyer but all purchases are made online and delivered to the home. We send your group a check at the end of the sale.

Fall and Winter Fundraising Update 12-5-21
As we rapidly approach the Holiday Season, I wanted to take this time to thank all of you who used us for for your fundraiser this fall. I also wanted to update you on how sales did this fall and introduce our new Spring Fundraising Programs. Most of our schools and groups we worked with had significant increases. Sales overall were 65% up from the fall of 2020 and 35% over 2019 sales.
We did have to deal with some of the same issues the entire world is dealing with on supply chain and labor shortages which could of caused longer delays than normal on some orders.
The majority of our groups we worked with chose to run a Semi Virtual Fundraiser, and I think this will become the new norm for most groups with or without Covid. It does not get any easier! No volunteers needed, no money counting, and no product delivery to the school. The sellers still get to take a brochure home and optional prize flyer but all purchases are made online and delivered to the home. We send your group a check at the end of the sale.

Our New Spring Brochures are hot off the press, and will be available for groups to start using as early as January 15th. Spring Sales will run to May 30th. Click Here to view the New Spring Catalogs.

Fundraiser length: Shorter is Better
My 37 years experience shows me that shorter fundraisers are more effective. In general students sell the most on the first day and last day of the fundraiser. A one week sale no more than two weeks is the perfect solution to fundraising’s most common problem, procrastination. Students/sellers will always ask for more time. Press them as to how much? What happens when you have a deadline a month away? Do you start now? It is important to get sellers to start NOW while the enthusiasm and vision are fresh. If your group only meets once a month, perhaps a month can work, but you must encourage them not to procrastinate. They cannot procrastinate if you set firm deadlines.
