We’re kicking off our spring fundraiser. The fundraiser is an opportunity for scouts to offset the cost of summer camp and/or monthly camping fees. Scouts are not required to participate.
February 20 – April 9
Orders are sent directly to customers beginning April 1 for a flat rate of $6.99 per order.
Products include seeds, bulbs and berries (flowers, vegetables and herbs).
Products are guaranteed (from US and Holland).
Prices vary from about $6 –$ 30
Scouts can generate sales by sharing the link, writing email, using social media, texting, etc.
Customer orders from website Troop14.fpfundraising.com
- Customers must identify the scout that they are supporting as they complete the order so that you receive credit. See “Give credit for this order to” instructions below.
- Scouts are credited 50% of their sales (not including shipping) to be applied to monthly trips or summer camp at Camp Horseshoe.
- Orders not credited to a specific scout will be credited to the entire troop.
Plan:
Familiarize yourself with the website, products and how customers order. Decide on how you will promote your sale.
Take Action:
Spread the word to family/friends all over the country. You can be as creative as you would like:
- Use your own social media or ask parents to post to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
- Make “business cards” to give to teachers or neighbors with instructions.
- Send emails to family and friends anywhere in the USA.
- Encourage customers to place orders for their loved ones.
Follow your progress:
Continue to promote every few days or once a week, add urgency to your message to inspire customers to buy right away.
- Track our website to see your progress.
- Follow up with Thank You messages, customers may even place another order!
