Premium Gift Wrap Fundraiser
A gift wrap fundraiser is a low risk way to spread good cheer and make money for your organization at the same time.
The product, premium wrapping paper, has a nice, warm association with holiday gift giving that brings a smile to everyone's face.
Though most groups do plan this kind of fundraiser around the Hanukkah and Christmas Seasons, all-occasion gift wrap is available for other times of the year. The product has universal appeal – everyone has gifts to wrap.
The product works equally well as a direct sale or as a "pre-sales" or "order-taker" operation.
A single package of gift wrap generally sells for about $7.00 for 40 square feet with your group retaining 50% of the profits. Gift wrap sets containing either more patterns, or a single pattern with accessories sell in the $20.00 range.
A potential pitfall is that retail stores typically offer the same square footage for less money. This requires some selling – you have to remind the customer that the fundraiser gift wrap is premium quality.
It's thicker, better quality paper and the producers hire top designers to create their paper patterns. It's unlike anything you'll find in stores.
Another challenge of gift wrap fundraising is that some customers may not see the value of premium wrapping paper. Others might be surprised that much of the time, the paper is not on the traditional cardboard tube.
For these buyers, gift wrap accessories are a good option. Tissue paper, bows, and gift tags are priced in the same ball park as retail stores and also cost in the $7.00 range.
The increasingly popular gift bag, perfect for people always running short of time, is also an excellent choice for people in this group.
