Would a Soy Candle Fundraiser Be Profitable For Your Group Or Organization?

Fundraisers are a helpful and simple way to raise money for your group or organization. Many fundraisers include selling products. These products commonly include things like candy bars, wrapping paper, pop corn and magazine subscriptions. While these products have worked in the past and people will probably still purchase them in support of your group or organization, you may have better luck doing something new and fun like a soy candle fundraiser. Soy candles are a popular enjoyable product that your fundraiser customers may be happy you ordered and you will be too because you can keep as much as 40% of the profits for each sale.

Many candle companies offer fundraisers so when choosing the right one to represent your group, consider the cost of the products, shipping costs and the percentage that will be paid to your organization. Also take a look at the quality of the products and the selection of products offered. The more options you have the better chance you have of your fundraiser customers finding something they want to purchase. Another thing to consider is whether or not the company charges you for fundraiser supplies and if they provide you with adequate supplies. Do they provide a website for your group or organization or would you need to make your own? Are brochures, samples and order forms provided or would you incur those costs?

Once you have decided on the soy candle company you would like to represent your group, promote the soy candles through door to door sales, email newsletters, fliers, newspaper ads and any other method your group or organization can think of and afford. Typically when sales are made the products will be shipped to your group or organization to distribute to your customers or to be made available for pickup. Internet fundraisers may also be done but not without the shipping costs being slightly higher for the customers, however for a large or national type organization this may be an ideal and effective method. A percentage of the profits from the soy candle fundraiser will be sent by check in the group or organization's name after the orders have been submitted and processed and the fundraiser has ended.
