Schools, churches, sports teams, and many organizations have fundraisers annually to help subsidize their financial needs. There are a lot of different types of fundraisers out there, but none have been as successful as the candy fundraisers.
Cookie dough has been used for recent years, but the price has reached levels that are too expensive for most people to pay. Expensive wrapping paper, Christmas ornaments, and drinking cups and mugs are also common. There are two reasons why these are less successful than the candy fundraiser. The prices are too high, and the child has to sell the product, collect the money, order it and deliver it. This is time-consuming for the parents of the child and not the most fun method for the customer.
Candy is a product that can be sold and handed over instantly. The prices are reasonable and there are no unnecessary return trips. Buying bulk candy is easy and it is sent to the location of your choice efficiently. Your experienced supplier can assist you and explain the different shipping requirements for each type of candy. They are also trained to take shipping time and routes into consideration to ensure your order arrives effortlessly.
This is perfect for the kids selling their products at football games, during a reception at a dance recital, or at church. Another good idea is to set a candy table in a high traffic area, like a grocery store Churches often set up a carnival or movie night to allow children to sell their goodies.
