Fall 2013 Programs are ready

Our packets were mailed out to 250 schools in Virginia and West Virginia several weeks ago.  If you are outside that area and want a packet of brochures mailed to you, just contact us at bob@fundraisingcentral.net

We are pleased with our fall line.  We have shoppers, frozen food, flower bulbs, cookie dough, "Dodo Bags" (beautiful purses and totes), and more.

We are gearing up to produce our prize videos in early June, and expect them to be spectacular.

As always, our main focus is on our client groups--providing a lasting investment in the future of our children through quality fundraising programs.

We would like your organization on our 2013-14 success list.  We know we can raise the funds you need, using products you will be proud to deliver, sold at prices people will gladly pay.

Over The Cliff

The talking heads, bloggers, and even the Kiplinger Letter staff say we're going over the fiscal cliff. While this will not immediately impact schools, it would be prudent for school principals to do a Spring Fundraiser to add to their internal accounts in preparation for the 2013-14 school year. As we all know, when state and local finances are tight, school boards freeze budgets early in the school year. If you want to continue to offer field trips, have enough paper and toner for your copier, and have funds for teacher supply requests, you will probably have to do more fundraising. With 28 years of excellence and years before that in education, we can help. Drop by our web site www.fundraisingcentral.net for our contact information.

We have a new program to add to your fundraising profits with almost no work on your part.

Cardraising has set up custom web sites for just about every school in the nation.  Additional web sites can be set up for youth sports leagues, civic clubs, and churches.

Now you just need to make your community aware of it..  We will send (free of charge) all the marketing materials directly to your organization to promote your new website.

Fall sales will be strong

We always offer the best quality products form the most reliable sources. This fall we continue with two product lines from Unipak Supply--"Simply Delicious" and "Extravaganza" which both have been very strong performers. We offer quality wrapping paper shoppers from several sources, and also offer quality cookie dough from several sources. You can choose between preportioned or tubs, and between shelf-stable at room temperature using ultra-pasteurized eggs in the mix and a "homemade" recipe with real butter and fresh eggs.

We continue to offer full service. We design the parent letter, collate it with brochures and order forms, and count the sets out for each classroom or team. We offer a high-energy kickoff pep rally that increases sales dramatically. We train your volunteers on the various techniques and methods that will give you a low-effort, high production sale.

If you want the very best from an experienced and financially-stable firm, give us a call at 800-326-9192 or email bob@fundraisingcentral.net!

Our prices are reasonable

There was an article in the local newspaper today about the tax rate in our county. We are at 48 cents per $1000 of assessed value on real estate. The article compared that with the 1983 rate and in 1983 terms of the value of the dollar and the value of real estate our real tax rate is 24 cents. Things have doubled in cost since 1983. I started my fundraising business in 1986. Back then cheddar cheese sold for $7 for a tub. The tub was 16 ounces. Now it sells for $5 for a 7 ounce tub. So our prices haven't doubled on that. Back in 1986 chocolate was selling for 50 cents an ounce. Now it sells for about $1.10 an ounce, so we are about double, just like anything else. Wrapping paper has held its own in dollar pricing, but the rolls are a bit shorter. All in all, your purchasers are getting the same value for their price as they did in 1986, except the product quality is better, the packaging is better, and the prize programs are much better. We offer quality products at prices people are willing to pay. Choose us for repeatable profits year after year.
