Fund Raising for Charity

Tweet

I just finished working with a fund raising event..It takes me about an hour to present to the 37 people that are on the committee. I demo the product to sell. A cleaning product that cost me $10.15 is sold by the group for $20. This is an all purpose organic concentrated cleaner( makes 48 gallons..that's 98- 32 oz spray bottles of cleaner..even at the dollar store it costs $98) I do not take any of the money. I meet with group again one week later.They have only sold 107 bottles of cleaner.That is only 2.89 bottles per person. It cost me $1086.05 + shipping/tax of $166.92 = $1252.97. The group had collected $2140.00 which means that the group made $887.03. When they realized that they had made that much and not one member had even tried to sell the product..just asked their neighbors. I got a call today..they want to do it again but will actually try to sell the product this time. I expect they will make a substancial amout of money for this worthy cause. And I can feel good because I gave them the product for what I pay for it so even though I can not afford to had charities a bunch of money now I have found a way I can make a difference. So if you want to help don't allow yourself excuses because there is something for everyone...just put yourself out there. Have a great day xoxoxoxoxo
