Set an objective: The objective you set for your group should include a financial figure, as well as a tangible element.

Set a deadline: Your campaign should run a maximum length of 1-2 weeks. Keeping the campaign short will keep your participants motivated and on track.

Know your group: Knowing how many of your group members will be participating in the fundraiser is important, since it will help you organize a selling strategy.

Motivate your group: It is important to maintain close and constant contact with your group members, and to motivate and encourage them constantly. Being a positive role model for the group is also important, not only in terms of how much money you raise, but also in terms of how much time and effort you put into your fundraiser.

Managing Your Campaign:

Delivery: Once you have placed your order, allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. Schedule delivery date with fundraising company

Money collection: Members should collect money when they take the order. Also, it is easier for the campaign organizer to collect ONE check from each participant for the entire sum of money collected, rather than several checks.

Tallying and packing orders: It is a good idea to solicit volunteers in advance to help with these tasks. Appoint a chairperson to oversee and coordinate these activities. The chairperson and each participant should ALWAYS check and double-check orders for errors.
