How To Plan A Fundraiser Selling Handcrafted Products
There are some important things to consider when you plan a fundraiser. This is especially true if the products offered are all handmade! Here are some things to think about:
Paperwork
Do you have all the necessary paperwork in order to prove that you’re business is legit? These papers could include state and local licenses, proof of tax I.D., and proof of nonprofit status if you run a charity. Who wants to risk getting in trouble by working with a slightly shady fundraiser?
Products
How many products are available for sale? Also, how long will it take to fill orders? Having extra helpers on standby is a good idea in case the drive goes really well. The last thing any business wants is to turn a customer (and there money) away unsatisfied.
Next: Who pays for what? Ironing out the details.
