How to Maximize Fundraiser Profits with Nelson’s Fundraising
When planning a successful fundraiser, every detail counts. From pre-selling tickets to selecting the perfect location, these decisions can significantly impact your event’s profitability. At Nelson’s Catering & Fundraising, we’ve spent 57 years helping organizations achieve their fundraising goals. Here are our top tips to help you maximize profits and make your next fundraiser a smashing success.
1. The Power of Pre-Selling
Pre-selling is the cornerstone of any profitable fundraiser. It’s your opportunity to gauge interest, secure revenue in advance, and minimize food waste. Platforms like Cheddar Up make the pre-selling process seamless by allowing you to collect orders and payments online for free. This not only eliminates the need for cumbersome paperwork but also makes it easier for your supporters to participate.
Leverage the power of social media to amplify your pre-selling efforts. Post regularly about your event on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Highlight the cause you’re supporting, and encourage your community to get involved. Don’t forget to remind people of the cutoff date for pre-orders and thank those who’ve already purchased!
2. Location, Location, Location
The location of your fundraiser is just as crucial as pre-selling. To truly maximize your profits, choose a spot with ample space, such as a large parking lot. This ensures smooth operations and plenty of room for customers to pick up their orders without congestion.
Even better, opt for a location near a high-traffic area. A busy road or a central spot in town can attract spontaneous customers who can’t resist the aroma of Nelson’s Port-A-Pit. Our unique cooking method fills the air with an irresistible, smoky fragrance that draws people in. High visibility and foot traffic can significantly boost your sales and overall success. Our team can assist with location sites.
3. Use the Tools Available to You
Maximize your event’s reach by using free and affordable tools. Beyond Cheddar Up, explore other digital tools for promotion and logistics. Canva can help you design eye-catching flyers and social media graphics.
Encourage your supporters to spread the word by sharing event details with their networks. The more people know about your fundraiser, the higher your sales will climb.
