Catalog Fundraiser
Description: The biggest moneymaking fundraiser of
all, if you have good merchandise at reasonable prices. One of the keys to
getting good response is to have the right catalog for the time of year. An
example would be a catalog with house and garden items offered only in the early
spring.
Best Suited For: All
Prospective Customers: Households
Comments: Pay attention to the layout of the
catalog. Too much jumble and confusing descriptions will mean lower sales.
Also, every time you do a catalog fundraiser, do a supplemental or overlay
offering.
Feel Good Rating ™: Four stars
