Probably the most important thing to decide before your fundraiser starts is what you will do for your prizes for your new fundraiser.

7 things you can do to help you when deciding which new fundraiser to do and how to run it properly are outlined below.
1.) Quality... Does your consultant firm offer a high quality line of products? Value is extremely important to your target customers. In order to succeed your customer must feel that they are getting a good value for their investment.
2.) Support Materials... When choosing a fundraising consultant it is important that you take a good look at any support materials that they offer such as product catalogs. A nice looking brochure work to dramatically increase your sales.
3.) Hidden Costs... Are there costs that that are not redily visible which can come back and bite into your profits. Most fundraising companies do not charge for seller's supplies or shipping, but you need to ask before you commit to their program.
One thing that you should consideration is that not all cost to your group are bad cost. For instance if you are going to be spending money on a added prizes in order to better motivate your sellers, you will likely turn those cost into additional profit for your school.
4.) Free Sample Pack... Does the fundraising company offer free samples for you to show your parents or students? If so, do not waste this opportunity to display them at parent night or show them to your students. You can put them in a display case during the fundraiser for all to see as they pass by during the sale.
5.) Policy... Make sure you know up front all the terms your fundraising company expects of you. What is their policy with regard to replacement of damaged items. Inquire about the fundraising company's return policy too. This is a good time to cover with your fundraising company what you expect of them as well.
6.) Special Delivery... Will your product require special delivery methods such as refrigeration? Spoiled products are always a big concern when dealing with foodstuffs, especially frozen items.
One particular fact about frozen cookie dough is that it does not require refrigeration during the delivery process. With some care and planning in choosing your delivery area, you can avoid having to worry about it spoiling. Place the cookie dough in an area that is away from direct sunlight and away from any heat source. Brands of cookie dough like Chippery and Otis Spunkmeyer can be delivered without the need for refrigeration because sugar is a preservative and the low water content in this dough allows it to thaw and be refrozen with hurting the dough.
7.) References... Get a list of other customers in your area that your fundraising company has worked with and contact some of them. Ask them about their experience with your fundraising company.
