KATYDIDS HISTORY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE 1950’s TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY AT BEICH CANDY COMPANY’S ICONIC 170,000 SQUARE FOOT PLANT IN BLOOMINGTON, IL

I couldn’t find where to write my remarks about the history of the Katydids and Butter Toffee candies.  I worked at the Beich Candy Company in Bloomington, Illinois in early 50’s.  I was secretary to the guy who directed what trucking companies were used to ship the goods.
I was also the gal who wrote letters on pink stationary and I signed “Katherine Beich” on personal letters to the various groups around the country who bought the candies for their fund raisers. 
The popular trio of candy tins also had the butter toffee.  Just one floor up from my office were the candy lines.  The Katydids were on conveyor belts, like little chocolate turtles.  Those that had too much chocolate, too many pecans or not enuf,they had to be uniform in size.  The rejects were picked off and went in a box at the end of the belt.  I could fill my sack of rejects and take to the office and consume.
The taffy was made by big harry men who slung the taffy over their arms from large hooks which were attached to the huge wooden roof supports.  Seemed kinda primitive. 
When a customer contacted us that they didn’t get their shipment or it was shorted, i would put tracers out on it.  Well, you can imagine how one might want to snatch a box of all three candies!
My husband was attending the university at Normal.
I think i still have a copy of the monthly office bulletin they published with gossip and tidbits on company employees.  I am turning 90 this year and enjoy reminiscing of years gone by.

HISTORY OF THE PINE RIVER PRE-PACK COMPANY

The Lindemann’s family cheese making roots run deep in Wisconsin.  They’ve been making cheese since their patriarch Herman Lindemann, settled in Liberty Township in 1870 after emigrating from Prussia.  Liberty is close to the location where the current Pine River plant rests.  In 1886, his dairy farm on 155 acres of pristine woodland was already established.

By 1907, his son Gustav Lindemann co-founded Northern Wisconsin Produce Co. in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.  The new company assembled, warehoused and sold Wisconsin cheese nationwide.

Gustav’s son, Oscar E. Lindemann joined the company in 1918.   He helped expand the business to include cold storage and merchandising of cheese, butter, eggs and poultry.

Philip C. Lindemann incorporated Pine River Pre-Pack independently from his father in 1964.  Besides packaging natural cuts of cheese, his new company began making Cold Pack Cheese Food using his own special recipe that always included his selection of the best cheese for his Cold Pack blends.  This decision made Pine River synonymous with quality.  Customers could taste the difference over other companies cold pack cheeses made with inferior ingredients, and the brand’s reputation and sales continued to grow.  Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he experimented with innovative flavors and new packaging technology to keep the product fresher and more convenient to use.  Finally, in 1996, he registered the domain name PineRiver.com.

His sons Philip A. Lindemann and Barth M. Lindemann joined the company in the 1970s. Their cheese spreads gained a national presence in 1983 when they began offering them as a fundraiser.  Pine River subsequently underwent numerous upgrades and expansions allowing the company to double their production.  This was necessary due to their huge success in fundraising.
Having award-winning products are just part of their success. 
Their reputation rests on not only having the best cheese spreads, but also great customer service, fast ship times, and accurate student presorting services.  This guarantees an easy distribution process for the fundraising sponsors.

The tradition of excellence and quality at Pine River continues under Philip’s guidance with 4 new partners Chauncey Behm, Ian Behm, Scott Caliebe, and Cory Meyer.  The company to continues to grow and modernize operations.  This ensures consumers will continue to receive the quality and excellence the Lindemann family has established for many years to come.

You can do a Pine River Fundraiser!

HISTORY OF THE KATHRYN BEICH BRAND & KATYDIDS

The Beich family manufactured iconic brands like Laffy Taffy, Whiz Bars, Katydid Peanut Clusters, and Golden Crumbles.  Here’s how it all began.

According to a Chicago Tribune article, in order to be closer to the dairy farmers, in 1894 Paul F. Beich and business partner Oscar Buffe persuaded Milton Hershey to move his plant from the Lancaster Caramel Co. in Chicago.  The plant was relocated 134 miles southwest to a vacant buggy factory at the corner of Front and Lumber Streets in Bloomington (pictured below).

Beich Chocolate Factory

In 1899 Beich and Buffe purchased the Lancaster Caramel Company from M.S. Hershey.

According to an article in The Pantagraph, the Bloomington, IL Newspaper, by about 1905, the two partners were gone and Beich was running the Paul F. Beich Candy Co. which soon had hundreds of employees.

Paul and his wife Catherine had 2 sons, Otto and Albert.  

Below is an archived photo from The Pantagraph from 1949 picturing Paul and his son Otto.

Paul & Otto Beich Photo

Otto married Harriet Kiser and had 2 children: Paul and William.

William Beich became president of the company and married Katherine McNulta.

In 1952‚ Kathrerine McNulta-Beich suggested a program for clubs and churches to raise funds by selling the firm’s candies.

William and Katherine’s son David stated in 2003, “The company’s subsidiary Katherine A. Beich Co. became one of the nation’s oldest and largest fundraising supply businesses, with its products sold by schools, youth groups and sports leagues.”

Candy production at the iconic 4-story 170,000 square foot plant ended in 1973 when production moved to a new facility. The building was later used for storage and offices.

The company stayed in family until until 1984 when Paul’s grandson, William A. Beich retired, and sold it to Nestle USA after heading operations for almost 20 years.  The name was then changed to Katherine Beich Inc., a Nestle Co.

According to an article in the Bloomington, IL based newspaper The Pantagraph, the manufacturing and fundraising units were split in 1999.

Nestle dropped the Beich name from the plant, but it remained as a brand for fundraising products.

In 2001, the Beich family donated the building to Mid Central Community Action, which originally planned to convert it into a social service center. 

In 2002 Lincolnshire Equity Fund II, an investment fund, bought the Beich Fundraising company from Nestle.

In 2005, the westside factory was destroyed by fire shortly before a planned demolition, as pictured below.

Factory on Fire

Afterward, great-grandson David Beich wrote a letter in tribute stating, “The building refused to die by the wrecking ball, instead waiting for the right moment in time to display her glory and die a dignified death.”

In 2008, Kathryn Beich was sold to Great American Opportunities, and the Bloomington office was closed.

This purchase brought the popular Kathryn Beich brands of Katydids and Golden Crumbles into Great American Opportunities’ product line.
 
At some point since 2018 (no exact date availle online) the Kathryn Beich brand name and Katydids product name was purchased by Mascot Pecan Shelling Company, Inc.
 
This company, based in Glennville, GA, still stands in the same spot where the original Mascot roadside shop (pictured below) has stood since 1955.

I hope you enjoyed this article on the history of the Kathryn Beich Candy Co. and their iconic brands.  

I couldn’t find an accurate history on any one fundraising source, or even Wikipedia.

The long history and dedicated following demanded the research necessary to tell their story!

Please comment below on any fond memories you have of their candies, tin artwork, advertisements, plant, etc.  Thanks!

    These are wonderful candies. The chocolate is thin and not waxy. Just enough pecans and carmel. Will buy again!

How To Plan A Boy Scout Troop Chili Supper Fundraiser

How to Plan a Boy Scout Troop Chili Supper Fundraiser

Troop# 46 in New Jersey hosted their 14th, Troop# 315 in Illinois their 25th, Troop# 90 their 39th, & Troop# 216 their 40th Annual Chili Supper, and the list goes on.

Why do so many Troops have a 20+ year tradition of hosting an Annual Chili Supper Fundraiser?

According to Chad Yeager, a Boy Scouts of America commissioner, after prizes local Troops make 28-30% profit on Popcorn Sales.

While BSA dues are only $66 annually, this doesn’t include the cost of uniforms, gear, backpack, supplies, equipment replacement, Summer Camp, Campouts, etc. Christa Nonemakker estimates the total annual cost to be $600-$1,000 depending on where you are, and what events your Troop participate in.

At 30% profit, it would be hard to sell enough popcorn to earn that cost. The cost of most items on the Trail’s End online store are $30+, making a sale increasingly difficult for Scouts.

Trail's End BSA Online Store

These are some reasons why many Boy Scout Troops have opted to do their own fundraiser.  On their own, they can choose to offer more affordable options.  Once they’ve done this, they immediately find customers are more receptive to supportive Scouts in uniform.  I mean who doesn’t like being told YES?  The local Troop is also happy to find out how quickly the sales add up when they get to keep 100% of the Profit from their project.  For their Troop fundraiser they often sell cookie dough, $1 beef sticks, $2 beef jerky.  Others choose to host an event like a Pork Butt sale, Spaghetti Dinner, or an Annual Chili Supper!

From our research here’s a few things we commonly found Troops do for their Chili Supper:

  1. Almost all provide an all you can eat chili supper with tickets presold to the event for between $5 and $8 a piece. 
  2. About half of the troop’s offered a reduced or free rate for children 5 and under. 
  3. Many troops offer ticket sales a the door on the date of the event for $2-4 over the pre-sold ticket price. 
  4. Almost all of the events were held at churches or a community center for little or no cost.  These venues often have the facilities necessary to prepare a meal of this size and host 100+ diners at any given time.  If you don’t already have a relationship with your church, you probably have a Troop Leader that’s active in a local church willing to help.  In fact, it may be the same church you already hold your regular Troop meetings at.  Churches are supportive of the values, and qualities the Scout Oath & Law promote.  Talk to your Minister or Pastor and see if they would be willing to let you have a chili supper one night on a day of his/her choosing.  

In conclusion, most troops that have done Chili Suppers, continue to host them for many years.  From our research, this  isn’t done out of tradition, rather for these reasons…

  1. Ability to raise funds consistently
  2. Easily organized by leader with little to no experience (find a site & event date, print out tickets, set a goal per scout for tickets sold, distribute tickets, & have a money turn-in day)
  3. Tickets sell easily (whether or not they plan to attend)
  4. Simple to cook.  The meal doesn’t require a chef to prepare, or a rocket scientist to assemble the ingredients (hamburger, unions, bell pepper, beans, stewed tomatoes, water, & spices)
  5. No confusion, delays, or resentment from the community.  A homecooked meal for less than $10, and support the Boy Scouts.  That’s easy to understand, and a win-win proposition for everyone involved.

For these reasons alone, all Troops should consider a Chili Supper when discussing the need for fundraising due to either the increasing costs of being a scout, or the need for Summer Camp scholarships for less fortunate members. 

Good luck and Happy Scouting!

Most schools see 30% more profit when switching to Charleston Wrap.

Raise More.  Schools and groups that switch to Charleston Wrap from other school fundraising companies generally see a 30% increase in their annual fundraiser.  Why? Simply put, people like our quality products and our easy promotion tools.  Ultimately, the more they buy, the more you put in the bank.

Better Value. It’s no secret that with better quality products priced right, supporters won’t feel the “gotcha” of having paid top dollar for bottom of the barrel.  Why is this important? Since you won’t burn your supporters with poor quality, over priced products this year, they’ll be willing participants next year.

2.)  Industry Leading Incentive Program

Better Prizes = Better Participation + More Revenue

Teacher Incentives. Teachers are an integral part of your fundraiser’s success. Get teachers on board with special rewards for classroom participation.

Prize Program. Prizes are a great way to motivate students and boost participation. Our FREE, cumulative/pick-a-prize combo program is the perfect way to engage your participants at no extra cost.

4.)  80 Products Under $15

We understand value.  

Great quality, Great price, less “Gotcha!”  We know supporters hate the “gotcha” of paying top dollar for bottom of the barrel quality…and they won’t be back for next year’s fundraiser.  We lead other school fundraising companies in providing more quality for less cost. The result? Supporters buy more, (you raise more!) and won’t mind buying again next year.

Direct Manufacturer.  Few other school fundraising companies can match our value pricing.  How do we do it? Well, it’s not easy, but we design, source, warehouse, and have nearly all of our items custom manufactured to our exacting specifications.  This extra effort allows us to provide schools with exclusive items at a much better price

Facebook Sharing Tool.  Share the love.  Easily post the sale message to Facebook and give supporters a convenient direct-to-store, ready-to-buy link… no login required.

Email-a-Friend. It couldn’t be more simple, parents register their students online, enter the email addresses of people they want to invite to support their student and we do the rest.  Our system sends the email, with the ready-to-shop links and allows parents to track who participates (and who doesn’t!)

8.)  25+ Years of Helping Schools

Fundraising Organizations are a Great Way to Raise Money

Are you looking for a well-known fund raising campaign to raise money?

Well, these days you will come across scores of fun raising programs who are willing to help you in this matter. These campaigns are very creative in their way of approach and they come up with new ideas each time. They introduce a range of delicious eatables like cakes, pastries, pies, candies, pizzas, chocolates, muffins, frozen food, popcorn, etc. under candy bar fundraiser or cake sales, and other options. Many people suggest to opt for Auntie Anne’s fundraising which has four delicious items including soft cotton-like pretzels which would be greatly preferred by youngsters and old aged people. By implementing these different fund raising measures, the organizers try to connect with larger groups and organizations and help in raising funds. Ways they approach the audience: They either follow Direct Sales or the Prepay options for raising money.

 Direct sales

This step usually implies a face to face selling method. In this case, there seems to be more chances and even higher profit margin. The approach is so simple and wide that even the next door person would want to take a look and purchase a few things of his choice just to support the cause.

 Prepay

This method usually needs more of previous experience. Items they choose to sell here already have a higher demand value among customers. By opting for this method, you will be assured that the eatables or other items have already been sold out successfully. What is so special about Special Moments Fundraising? Raising a fund for any good reason may not be an easy task, as the approach should not be a ‘needy’ one. Hire Special Moments Fundraising, if you are looking for an appropriate fund raising idea for your organization. The fundraisers they include are magazines, candles, candy bars, popcorn, beef sticks, frozen food, cakes, pies, and so much more. They follow both, prepay and direct sales, and you can simply book them over a text or call. If this is your first time, then you can very well opt for Auntie Anne’s fundraising option which offers delicious soft pretzels, pretzel nuggets, cinnabon gooey bites and cinnabon baking kits. The items are made of premium quality ingredients and tastes delicious and fresh anytime. Apart from this, you can even try out the cake fundraiser or chocolate fundraising options.

Why You Should Organize a Signature Chocolate Fundraiser

Change is the only constant. And in a changing world, it is not very surprising when even fundraiser items change in nature. Gone are the days when cookies, tumblers and the likes used to be the only
viable options for sale when you planned a fundraiser for a cause. The trend has shifted to incorporate other food items, snacks or household items. Chocolate fundraisers are a delight in their own right. And organizing one can be as fun for you, as it is for the taste testers.  Signature Chocolate’s products are a huge favorite and will fly off your shelves like hot cakes.

Here’s two ways a chocolate fundraiser can be handled.  Host an event where patrons are invited and the products are on exhibition.  Alternatively, the most popular way is by having a team of volunteers go from patron to patron with the assorted offerings at hand.

Here are a few advantages of organizing a fundraiser drive with chocolate products from Signature:
• Signature offers a range of low-priced chocolate items, and other candy treats like gummy bears, that are a hit with consumers of all ages! Fundraisers can order the dollar-priced gourmet chocolate bars from Signature. There is also a $2 gourmet chocolate bars and boxes available for fundraisers. At this $2 price point we also offer milk chocolate covered almonds and gigglejigs which happen to be my favorite.  They are pecan caramel clusters drenched in sweet and creamy milk chocolate.  There’s 4 cluster patties in each package for just $2!
• Signature’s gourmet chocolate products for fundraisers usually come in an assorted box of different flavors such as almond, caramel, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, etc. This ensures that there is something for everyone with a sweet-tooth, who comes up to you or one of your volunteers. 
• Signature’s gourmet chocolate trumps competitors’ products not only for its pricing but also because of how great it tastes. Concocted from a special recipe that sees generous helpings of cocoa butter that melts in your mouth. It gives you a creamy, delicious satisfaction in every bite.
• Who doesn’t love more chocolate for the same low price of $1?! The answer is of course everyone! Compared to their competitors, Signature offers gourmet chocolate bars in a variety of flavors and net weight of 1.5 ounces.
• A bar of signature chocolate is made with the most hygienic, and periodically improved recipe available in the industry. Signature also ensures that their methods are compliant with common allergens such as nuts.  Chocolate fundraisers are often frowned upon and dismissed as a source for junk-food. However, that remains very much debatable considering the best practice policies followed by the likes of
Signature, and the favoritism for chocolate among ages 8-80.  Give people what they want.  Your sales, and consequently your overall profits, will prove without a doubt that chocolate is the #1 fundraiser for your group.

3 Useful Selling Tips To Motivate Kids

A successful fundraiser involves a good deal of effort and a commitment of time. On top of that, you might not be comfortable asking for money. Your perspective is often times no different from that of your sellers and their parents. For the reasons above, if you’re looking for a fundraising idea for your organization that everyone can get excited about, consider something new with a $2 popcorn fundraiser from Special Moments Fundraising. We have helped numerous schools, sports teams, cheer squads, dance teams, and plenty of other organizations raise funds in a fun and delicious way.

Advantages of considering popcorn as a fundraiser :

• Inexpensive – $2 Bags of Popcorn is a cheap way for patrons to support your cause.

• Popular product – There are very few people who can resist the salty savory taste of our premium popcorn.

• High-profit margin – Popcorn will bring in serious amounts of cash for very little outlay. Get to 50% profit with only 40 carriers. Each carrier only has 30 units. I challenge you to find a product with a lower minimum when earning 50% profit.

Even with a great product, if you want kids to be able to sell your product effectively, you need to make the process easy. It can be a little intimidating for kids to sell without the right tools. Getting kids excited about the product and passionate about the cause is just the first step.

Here are 3 additional tips to help motivate kids to sell to family, friends, and other members of the community :

•1. Make sure they know the product
Most kids already know what popcorn is, but it’s important that they know everything about what they’re selling like what types of popcorn, what it is for, etc. That way children will be happy and confident in their ability to share knowledge of the product when they approach potential customers. Who doesn’t love a child that is well informed about what they’re selling and why? It will be hard for anyone to tell them no.

•2. Let Them Keep Track of Their Progress
Create a simple chart or spread-sheet that documents their progress in sales so far so that the kids feel motivated by actually seeing what they have accomplished and what they have to accomplish. You can also set small goals for them to make feel more excited and give them small treats after they accomplish their goals. Letting them know as the coach, coordinator, or team leader that you care will heavily influence their commitment and will subsequently product a direct correlation with your overall sales.

•3. Introduce them to people you know to get them started
If the fundraising campaign starts with people the kids know, they can eventually get more comfortable with their approach, and possibly sell to mom’s co-workers, church members, or other folks in your neighborhood. You can introduce the kids if they are new to selling or nervous, but always let the kids handle the sales. This process is bigger than your fundraising campaign itself. The life skills they learn and refine are priceless.

Special Moments Fundraising can help you raise funds if you are planning to raise funds for a school field trip, prom, team uniforms, charitable cause, or just about anything else. Perhaps you should consider raising money with delicious $2 bags of popcorn. Get a free analysis of your organization and upcoming campaign goals. We’ll make it extremely easy by identifying the specific product and approach that will be most effective for your group and that will fit your time constraints. Let us customize a fundraising plan according to the needs of your organization today!

Beef Stick Fundraiser Viability

Fundraisers are a lot harder to organize than you think. It requires skilful planning, a drive to meet the target, faith in a higher purpose, and people skills to glue it all together. To add to the challenge, there are a plethora of food products out there. It can be overwhelming to find the perfect one to select as a fundraiser. Beef sticks are a unique food item to consider as a fundraiser. True, a beef stick fundraiser is not as common as a candy bar or cookie dough campaign. However, it is often more effective at drawing a large number of patrons to contribute to your cause. Don’t hesitate to sell them out of fear that customers will be unfamiliar or resistant to purchasing. They are available in $1 and $2 sizes, with the $1 variety being the most popular by far. At that price point, people will be glad to support your cause a high percentage of time. The average sale is $2.50 so people aren’t just buying 1 at a time.

While a $1 beef stick fundraiser can be introduced in any community, they probably fare better in certainly environments, rather than others. For instance, a beef stick fundraiser may not be a hit if introduced to a vegan or extreme health conscience group. In that instance, food itself is probably off the table. On the other hand, imagine a fundraiser for a youth basketball team or a high school football team. Even with the rise in the number of vegan tastebuds in the community, a testosterone-fuelled congregation of sports lovers, enthusiasts and athletes, is undoubtedly going to love contributing to a good cause, in exchange for some quality, tasty beef sticks!

Beef stick fundraisers are not rare sights, and they aren’t any more difficult to manage than your garden variety fundraiser product. Hiring an experienced firm like Special Moments Fundraising to aid you in the planning and organization, can make it less of a challenge, if you’re coordinating a fundraiser for the first time.

Beef sticks come in a few brands like Jack Link’s, Oberto, Smoke Haus, and others. Other varieties than beef are available such as turkey, pork, elk, gator, venison, & buffalo. So if beef isn’t preferred for whatever reason we have that covered. In regards to flavors, the 3 most popular flavors are original, peppered, & teriyaki. There are country smoked, Cajun, honey maple barbeque, hot & spicy, and more. So your customers have a whole range of beef sticks in an assortment of flavours, to choose from. If you are considering throwing a beef stick fundraiser then don’t worry, your patrons will be coming back for more of these mouth-watering delicacies year after year because of their protein, great taste, & reasonable price. Make no mistake; beef stick fundraisers can meet your financial target and then some with careful strategizing and effectively marketing your project.
Beef fundraisers have broad appeal in America and are a viable source for raising funds. Compared to other alternatives, beef stick fundraisers are as much fun to consume as they are effective at raising funds.

Consider giving a meat stick fundraiser a try. Alternate it with your $1 candy bar fundraiser to prevent burnout. If you cater to an entirely different audience your group’s bank account will thank you and so will your patrons.

Direct Sell vs. Brochure Fundraiser Parent Preference

Which of the above do you think your parents and customers would prefer?

If you chose $1 or $2 direct sale snack fundraisers your instincts are correct.

Let me tell you why your school, group, league, or organization should raise funds by selling affordable fundraising snacks. 

$1 and $2 direct sales fundraiser items are simply easier for your participants to sell!  Particularly successful are $1 items.  Even the casual neighbor, co-worker, church member, or caring stranger at the community ballgame, local supermarket, or on the street will purchase one or more to support your cause at an astonishing 85% rate.  Those profits of $.40 / $.45 / $.50 per item, depending on the quantity purchased, really start to add up fast when virtually everyone buys from you.  This is even better news when you consider the average sale is for 2.5 units.  It’s not uncommon to hear of a participant selling his entire box of 60 at church in 5 minutes or for mom to sell her entire box in 1 shift just by leaving the carrier on the breakroom table table with a note written on the side in sharpie.  Support XYZ organization raise money for XYZ.   $1 each!

Rinse and repeat this 5-10 times over the 2-3 week sale period and you will raise $150-$300 in Net Profit towards your school’s playground equipment, sports travel expenses, tournament fees, uniforms, or whatever your worthy cause is.  The bottomline is the snowball of profits from a $1 Candy Bar, $1 Beef Stick, or $1 Pretzel Rods sale is easy to start, fast to transact, and will add up to quite the profit snowball in quick order.  It’s easy so you can expect participation of 25-50% or more!

Juxtapose the above scenario with a pre-sell from a brochure.  Whatever the item you select, you will often be asking for a minimum purchase of $10, $20, $25 or more for a customer to show their support by purchasing 1 or more items.  A few of the popular pre-pay fundraising items you’ve probably had personal experience selling in this higher price point include cookie dough, pizzas, cheesecakes, magazine subscriptions, gift wrap, home décor, candles, tumblers, discount cards, bed sheets, and more.

When you asked someone for their support on a brochure fundraiser in the past, perhaps you remembered continually receiving one of the following responses :

  • I left my wallet in the car
  • I don’t have my checkbook on me
  • I try not to eat sweets
  • I already purchased some from the Primary/Cheerleaders/Baseball Team/etc.
  • Now really isn’t a good time

At those prices it’s easy for a customer to find a nice way to tell you no.  Whatever their specific rejection is, one thing is certain, 85% of the time they will tell you no.  This process of being consistently rejected takes a particularly heavy toll on younger school age sellers.  As the fundraising leader this will manifest itself in the form of many of your participants simply quitting after asking 5 people or less to look at their brochure.  When they stop asking you lose money.  Constant rejection is depressing.  Expect participation of 10-25%

For the sellers that do persevere and meet a reasonable goal of selling 10-15 items I have more great news.  3 to 4 weeks after they’re done selling and the money and order forms are turned into the fundraising coordinator, there will be a delivery.  The seller or his/her parents will be notified to come up to the school to pick up their items.  If the items are perishable, they will be often told that the group doesn’t have the facilities to refrigerate their order and thy have to pickup their items tonight to keep their items from spoiling.  Isn’t that sweet.  Now they will make arrangements to pick it up, and often times will drive around town for the next 2 hours hand delivering those items.  Others will be forced to clean out their freezer in an effort to fit these 10-15 in their residential sized side-by-side.

Does this sound convenient?  By now you are probably screaming, “No, there has to be a better way!”.  I have good news…there is!  Do EVERYONE involved a favor as the fundraising coordinator and select a direct sale $1 or $2 item instead.  $1 items eliminate all of these concerns and are universally preferred by parents and sellers because of how well they are received by customers and the community.  With minimal effort your group can experience excellent results.  Here are 9 different $1 and $2 items I’ve seen be the most successful :

$1 Candy Bars

$2 Candy Bars

$1 Pretzel Rods

$1 Beef Sticks

$2 Beef Sticks

$2 Popcorn

$2 Beef Jerky

Different Creative Fundraising Ideas That Will Raise Funds Quickly

Fundraisers provide us with an opportunity to come together in person and promote positive change in the society while supporting a particular cause. Fundraising is not a solo endeavor, you need the help of friends, family and the community to make it a success and reach your goal. Often, individuals and organizations feel confused while coming up with creative fundraisers that will inspire participation and donations to make an impact.

Effective fundraisers require advanced planning and a highly motivated group of dedicated individuals who believe in the cause. In order to plan fundraisers, you need to have a clear vision of when, where, and how you will accomplish the task. There are a variety of creative fundraiser ideas involving products we can supply you with. These include beef sticks, candy bars, pretzel rods, cookie dough, cheesecakes, bed sheet sets, candles, tumblers, and more. However, this article’s intent is to provide information and insight about different ways you can raise funds for your company, school, or a special cause.

Making Crafts & Selling to Friends & Family
Selling crafts that are original artwork done by children can be sold to family members. This is certainly unique, and can also be effective at raising money for your organization. This can be a very easy because you have very little investment and all you have in the project is your supply cost and a little bit of time. Family members will appreciate their child’s effort and will purchase the pieces at or above market prices when compared to a similar non-decorated item. You can incorporate their artwork into the design of a quilt, t-shirt, coffee cup, mousepad, bumper stickers, or any other item you can think of that can be easily and affordably reproduced in small quantities.

Snack Stand
Setting up a snack stand is an easy task that will help you raise money in no time. Even kids can go for this concept by setting up stalls that sell items that they make like lemonade, cookies, cakes, pies, etc. If you need some help, you can purchase items from us to stock at your snack stall like candy bars, pretzel rods, or beef sticks. You can set up a food stall in your neighborhood. For more visibility and higher sales, ask the manager of a local Wal-Mart, home improvement, or grocery store if you can setup on a busy time like a Saturday. The increased traffic will maximize your sales and help you raise money more quickly. Make sure you have your children dressed appropriately in organization themed clothing or uniform if possible. This will help passers by not only notice you, but also allow them to quickly identify your cause and pitch in.

Accepting Donations
If you have donation buckets you can make even more profit. Make sure they have the organization’s name, the project that you are raising money for, and the total goal amount clearly visible. You can use your color printer at home to print the flier. A small round container with lid like a coffee can or pretzel tub would work great for the kids to display the flier on and to hold the cash and change people donate. Simply wrap the color graphic with packaging tab to adhere to the container, cut a donation slot in the top, and you are ready to go!

3 BIGGEST FACTORS TO PLAN A SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISER

1. Be Organized
You need to know your staff which consists of parents, volunteers, and anyone else who will be helping with your project. Participants need to know in advance that the fundraiser is coming. When fundraising with children, be sure to send letters home to parents with full details and your contact information.

Parents and volunteers are your support staff. Utilize them effectively by dividing up the responsibilities (responsibilities vary by type of campaign you select, so speak with your consultant for details), assigning tasks to the people you feel are best suited for that role. When everyone knows the scope of their responsibilities in advance there is less confusion and stress at the last minute. Proper planning ensures fundraising will go smoothly!

2. Promote Your Fundraiser
In order to support your campaign, people need to know about it! Be sure to start advertising 2 weeks in advance of your fundraising sale. Advertise with social media. Many parents may not read the weekly teacher parent letter. However, many do see the school’s Facebook post in their timeline. Advertise by posting it on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, & Remind101 if possible. Also, make up sign and banners for the hallway, cafeteria, parent pickup line, & bus rider line. Local newspapers, TV, and Radio Stations often will include your fundraising information in their community news. Contact these news outlets to amplify your voice!

3. Motivate your group
Be sure to keep in touch with what your audience wants. Talk to a group of students to determine the prizes they like best. Incentives should include prizes, activities, and other rewards. At the kickoff assembly, make sure you set goals and explain rewards. Your students will be more excited about participating, and work harder to ensure the goals are met. Create competition among your group with rewards for the highest or fastest sellers!

2 TYPES OF PRODUCT FUNDRAISERS:

1.) PREPAY

2.) DIRECT SALE

PREPAY – Cookie Dough, Tumblers, GiftWrap, Frozen Foods, etc.

Step 1 – Orders are taken for 2 weeks. All money is collected from
customers in advance.

Step 2 – Upon the sale’s completion, order forms and money are turned into the fundraising coordinator. Money is deposited into the school’s activity or organization’s bank account.

Step 3 – The order forms are mailed off to the plant for processing & order fulfillment.

Step 4 – Approximately 3-4 weeks later the items are ready to ship and a delivery day is scheduled with the school. Parents pickup their items on delivery day and distribute them to friends and family that have purchased from the organization.

DIRECT SALE – $1 & $2 Items

Step 1 – The fundraising coordinator orders enough of the $1-$2 product to reach their goal based on a discussion with a Special Moments Representative on what is a “realistic” target. Carriers contain 50-60 $1 items. Sales of 2-4 carriers per player/member/student are not uncommon. We typically suggest ordering 1.5-2 carriers per member.

Step 2 – Students and their parents take the boxes to work, church, the ballgame, etc. and ask friends and family if they would like to support their child’s organization by purchasing a few.

Step 3 – Customers hand them $1, $5, $10, or $20. They put their money in the collection envelope and hand the customer the corresponding number of sticks/bars/etc.

Step 4 – The student sells his entire box, turns in the money to the coordinator, and gets another box.

Step 5 – Our group sells all the boxes we can over a 2 ½ – 3 week period.
