Planning & Promotion!

Most any time is "GOOD"!
During the summer, most people are not quite as busy with activities 
and obligations and have more time to think about what they would like
to do in the coming tear.  Take advantage of this!  Lay out your tentative
group or organizations schedule and see what events  may open an 
opportunity to include a fundraiser.  Could you add a t-shirt sale to a 
carnival, bake sale, car wash, or maybe a Mothers Day event?  Also 
see what you can incorporate a fundraising Kick-Off with.  If you already
have a planned event where all your members will be present, can you 
pass out brochures and get sellers excited there?  

During the fall and winter seasons, people are usually planning their 
holiday events, festivals they plan to attend, but most of all at this time
of year people are very open to helping out church and Christian groups
in their needs. The spirit of giving is seen everywhere. Churches, 
ministries and Christian organizations are preparing for their annual play,
fellowship meetings, brunches, or sales pertaining to a specific holiday.
Could you set up a booth to go along with these activities or coordinate
your promotion with theirs to begin your Kick-Off when their event ends?
Besides the potential for actual sales promotion, showing your groups
activity in and commitment to the community is great public relations
for the group. People will appreciate and remember the groups that are
showing their area allegiance.  Take advantage of whatever you can!
It can only help you!

Discover Fundraising's Secret Ingredient!

Are all fundraisers created the same?
If your answer is no, then what is the special ingredient that makes one
fundraiser better than another?  What factors encourage people to turn
up their nose, thinking "bah humbug" to one fundraiser while another 
fundraiser looks like fun and inspires involvement?

       

  The good news is that the "Secret Ingredient" costs you nothing, yet it
truly spices up a fundraising campaign from its creative beginning to the
last successful deposit in the bank.  The secret ingredient to a successful 
fundraiser is "ENTHUSIASM"!  Surprised?  An enthused "lets get this
over with" attitude can literally ruin your fundraiser. On the other hand,
for the fundraising group blessed with a limitless supply of creative
enthusiasm - the sky is the limit to achieving your fundraising goals!

Consider these quotes regarding enthusiasm:

"If you aren't filled with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm."
Vince Lombardi

"Your enthusiasm will be infectious, stimulating and attractive to others.
They will love you for it. They will go for you and with you." 
Norman Vincent Peale

Zig Zigler defines an optimist as "someone who goes after Moby Dick 
in a rowboat and takes the tartar sauce with him."  That's the type of 
enthusiastic attitude your fundraising group needs to be successful!  
If you're ready to add some enthusiasm to your next fundraiser, then 
grab the tartar sauce and get started by motivating your group!  Paint 
a vision of what your group needs to accomplish - what it will take and 
what reaching that goal will mean for every-one.  The vision has to be 
real.  Firmly plant the vision inside the minds of each of your group 
members.  When members can visualize and truly believe in the goal, 
they will have the enthusiasm necessary to make the vision become reality.

Creative enthusiasm is what leads a group to go the extra mile - adding 
new incentives, inspiring competition, setting goals and sharing their vision 
with everyone.  Enthusiasm is also the reason small groups often realize 
the most remarkable fundraising results!  Communicating excitement is 
easy and natural in a small group.  The feeling is almost contagious as it 
quickly spreads to other group members.  Members share in the excitement
and become motivated to help.

We encourage you to stir some enthusiasm into your next group meeting
and discover how this one special ingredient can make a huge difference
in achieving your fundraising goals.
