One Word, Scented Soy Candles, OK, three words…
There are a lot of great fundraising ideas out there. There are also a bunch of overused ideas out there also. Boredom is probably biggest problem fundraisers face.
People are just tired of gift wrapping, candy bars, cookie dough, coupon books and a ton of other overdone products. Fundraising is really not that different from any sales business. You have to have a product that not only is easy to sell. But it has to be something you and your organization can get excited about selling when it comes to fundraising ideas.
And a product that people can get excited buying
Just about any website you go to that sells healthy, low soot soy candles, is going to have a fundraising program of some kind.
WHY
Because people buy candles! So when you’re looking for great fundraising ideas. Keep scented soy candles on your list.
Or if you sell soy candles this is a great way to get your candles known as one of the great fundraising ideas.
There is a ton of organizations out here that need money. School band fundraising, athletic teams, girl and boy scouts, cheerleaders, choirs, church youth groups are all looking for unique ways to make money.
Just to do a little math if you have 100 participants and the each sell just 10 candles you should make $6 for a 7.5 oz scented soy candle. That figures out to $6,000 for your group.
Let me give you some reasons why I think selling scented soy candles makes for one of the best school fundraisers in the market today.
•It’s a healthy “green” product; soy wax emits no carcinogens into the air inside the home.
•It is a product made in America.
•It helps the American farmers.
•Huge market and a product that people love to have in their homes and give as gifts.
•It is a product that is great and healthy for our planet, homes, families, and pets.
•As popular as scented soy candle are they are relatively hard to find locally.
•They are simply a fun product to sell, how can you get excited about candy bars and pizza.
•Imagine not only selling a healthy, clean product, but also educating people on unhealthy and sooty their regular candles are.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. So if you are out there looking for great school fundraisers, keep soy candles in mind.
