- SET A GOAL:
Before starting a fundraising campaign, set a clear and realistic goal. Having something to aim for will help motivate your players and give you a feeling of success at the end of the campaign. Give your team periodic updates after practices or games to let them know how the fundraiser is going.
- RECOGNIZE TOP PERFORMERS:
A team fundraiser will only be successful if your players or members are motivated to sell. Recognize your top fundraisers by acknowledging their contribution. Set up a contest for your team and reward the winner. Prizes can be as simple as recognition in front of the team, a team shirt or anything else that will motivate your players.
- MULTI-TASK:
Try combining a traditional offline fundraiser (like scratch cards) with a 24/7 online magazine fundraiser to maximize your earning potential throughout the year. If you have an eteamz website, you automatically have a personalized magazine fundraising page that can start raising money today!
- FUNDRAISING DURING THE HOLIDAYS:
Traditionally, fundraising during the holidays is a tough proposition. However, magazine subscriptions make a great gift that keep on giving throughout the year. Try online magazine fundraising during the holidays and save your family and friends an extra trip to the mall!
- STAY INVOLVED:
The group leader must be motivated and involved. Check-in with your team members at least every three days for the duration of the fundraising campaign.
- CAST A WIDE NET:
Identify as many supporters as possible at the beginning of the campaign. Talk to parents about spreading the word to their co-workers. If you are doing an online fundraiser, the more emails you send, the better your results.
