A Unique & Profitable Approach To Calendar Fundraising

by Roxanne

Typically, a group contacts a printer who helps them design ONE school-related calendar. A set quantity of calendars are printed, usually at a pretty high price because the quantities aren't high enough and it's a custom product. The retail price of the calendar is then set even higher - but, since it's a fund raiser for a good cause, most parents do buy (just) ONE. The price is generally too high, the theme too restrictive and the calendar design "not desirable enough" for additional purchases from co-workers, extended family, and friends. Even though calendar fund-raisers like this are relatively successful, there is a better way!
A company called About Time Fundraising knows that calendars make the most successful fund raising product because of their practicality and originality. They have designed 12 unique calendars, in themes to please people of all ages and interests, which will encourage multiple sales per household. The retail price of each calendar is exceptionally reasonable too and the profit quite high. It's even very cool that the calendars are printed in the USA on recycled paper!
As a bonus to the typical calendar fundraiser, this company provides seller incentives that are really cool! Their products are usable, vdesirable & even educational - most are made from recycled materials. And, the Grand prize they offer is the desirable iPOD!
I'm sure you'll love all the great calendars they offer and their entire risk free fundraising program. The only thing is, this fundraiser is only offered once a year so you have to sign up before mid-August to be included. It's definitely a really great fundraiser and I highly recommend it!!!
