Fundraiser Ideas For Schools

Do you find yourself getting bored with your regular fundraisers? If you are looking for something new, exciting and profitable? Let’s face it, how many times can you sell: Pizza Kits, Grocery Vouchers, Wrapping Paper and Candy? All of these options are great ways to raise money for your school or organization, but everyone is doing it, and it’s boring at this point. If you’re really looking for good fundraiser ideas for schools, we recommend our stadium blanket fundraising program!

Most fundraising companies earn more off of your hard work selling their products than you do. You’ll hand in thousands of dollars in orders, and only receive a few hundred dollars for your hard work. What if I told you that with our stadium blanket fundraising program, you decide how much money you want to earn per sale, not us?

Well that’s how it works! Here is the part that you won’t believe …

• There are zero strings attached
• There are zero hidden costs
• There is zero risk to you
• You don’t have to put up any money in advance or ever

So How Does A Stadium Blanket Fundraiser Work?

It’s very straight forward. We’ll work with you over the phone and via email to put together the custom logo artwork and messaging for your custom stadium blanket fundraiser. We are a custom blanket manufacturing company. We’ll use our blanket and your logo to create your fundraising masterpiece.

Our stadium blankets are 50″ x 60″, heavy fleece blankets, they have mitered corners and fully hemmed edges. They are like your favorite sweatshirt, except they are a blanket. We then put your school logo, mascot or other messages in a massive 30″ x 30″ print in the center. Our finished product looks epic. In fact, when your buyers are using it in the stands, the folks behind them can see the amazing logo and warm blanket and will be sad that they didn’t buy one. Funny I know, but we’ve heard it more than you might expect. So much so, I’ve started advising customers to order at least 1 dozen more to have in case of extra sales!

There are 2 ways that you can fundraise with our blankets. You can use either method, or combine them.

Blanket Fundraising Method #1.

We’ll call this one “Old School”, you simply create an order sheet with a photo of the product, that we’ll provide. Then hit the pavement and fundraise away for 2-3 weeks. Once you’re done, place your order and we’ll take care of the rest.

Blanket Fundraising Method #2

Let’s call this one “New School”, we will create a FREE online store for you to promote the sale of the fundraising stadium blankets. Then promote the link everywhere: Social Media, Newsletters, Announcements, eMails etc… we’ll collect the money and orders online, and after a designated sale period (usually 2-3 weeks), we’ll then close the store, produce and ship the stadium blankets and mail you a check!

Let’s Talk Money

The way that our school fundraising program works is similar to a wholesale/retail relationship. Traditional fundraising programs, will give you a set percentage of sales or a set dollar number. For example, “for every chocolate bar that you sell, you get $1.50”.

That’s not how we roll. We provide you with a wholesale cost, that you only pay when placing your order. This means that you’ve already collected the money from your buyers. Let me give you a specific example.

We’ll give you a wholesale cost of $25.00 per blanket. You can then fundraise that blanket for any amount above $25.00, and that delta is yours. If you sell them for $30.00, then you’re making $5.00 per blanket. If you sell them for $40.00 then you’re making $15.00 per blanket etc.

Most schools fundraise them for $40.00 easily. I say easily because the blanket is a high quality and unique product, and handing someone two, twenty dollar bills is a nice “no change required” fundraising sale.

A typical fundraising program might look like this.

125 blankets sold @ $40.00 each = $5,000. Total cost of blankets (125 x $25 = $3,125). Total profit $1,875.

I can tell you that selling 125 rolls of wrapping paper, 125 candy bars or 125 pizza kits isn’t going to net your organization $1,875!

For The Sceptical

OK, so where is the catch? Where is the “It’s too good to be true, truth?”

The simple truth is that there just isn’t a catch. We’re a blanket company. We make money selling blankets. When we wholesale our blankets to retail stores, we sell them for $25.00

There are a few added benefits that we don’t offer retailers. One, is that we don’t offer FREE online stores to help them sell the blankets, that’s reserved for schools who are fundraising. Another is that we don’t offer custom art services and help to get started. With schools, we add that level of support.

Let’s Talk

Let’s jump on the phone or we can chat via email. Either way, it would be a good investment of your time, because I’m 100% confident that you’ll find the program exceptional, and our support, equally so. We’ve helped many schools achieve their fundraising goals, easily and while having fun.

When you are fundraising with a unique and high quality product, that has universal appeal and a lifetime of shelf life, fundraising is easy. Let’s face it, who doesn’t need an extra blanket? It’s functional and a great commemorative piece with the school logo.
