Charity Fundraisers Made Easier With Cookie Dough

Written 02 Feb, 2012 by Jen Johnson 0

Even though there is no such thing as an easy charity fundraiser, there are ways to make your campaign seem more effortless and fun. Using cookie dough as your foundation is a great beginning.

Charity fundraisers involving cookie dough can be easier than other forms of fundraising due to the positive reputation Otis Spunkmeyer has developed over the years. Whenever anyone hears of cookie dough fundraising, images of eye-appealing and tasty cookies come to mind. This makes selling the product less stressful, which helps motivate your fundraising campaign workers to put in even more effort. Having a strong, reputable product is the cornerstone of any successful fundraising campaign. So, you have a great start.

Cookie dough fundraising can seem easy since you have so many products available. You offer your buyers a wide choice of high-quality products that suit a multitude of tastes. Fundraising campaigns that concentrate on only one product reduce sales since not everyone may like their single product, no matter how worthy the cause. Instead, you offer a variety of cookies, brownies, coffee cake and even traditional pretzels. Cookies varieties include the ever-popular chocolate chip, carnival, cranberry oatmeal, chocolate delights, strawberry shortcake, white chocolate macadamia nut, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, butter sugar and others. For those having dietary concerns, you have a reduced-fat chocolate chip cookie available.

Counter objections can be easy in a cookie dough fundraising campaign. Any sales campaign involves objections of some sort. You and your team can easily counter most of them. If your potential buyer states they do not have a sweet tooth, you can point out that you have traditional pretzels available. What better counter-objection can you have? Pretzels are not sweet at all. If your contact states they do not like pretzels or cookies, you can tell them that you have apple streusel coffee cake available. Again, that is another perfect and easy counter-objection. When you first plan your fundraising campaign, schedule a team meeting and recommend that your team members learn all about the products they will be selling. That way, they will be properly prepared to handle objections in an easy and comfortable way. The more knowledgeable your team members are about what they are selling, the better they can handle questions and objections. This helps make the sales process easier.

Charity fundraising can be made easier by having marketing literature that is eye appealing. When done in a professional manner, your marketing literature will leave a positive image in the eyes of anyone who views it. When first starting your cookie dough fundraising campaign, your Otis Spunkmeyer representative will supply you with a variety of needed literature at no cost to you. Ranging from Press Release Templates, Volunteer Signup Sheets to money collection envelopes, all literature is professionally done to benefit not only your fundraising campaign, but the reputation of Otis Spunkmeyer. When you run out of marketing literature, simply ask your representative for more. There is no charge for replacement materials, either.

Charity fundraisers of all types involve hard work, discipline and fortitude. Make your campaign easier by selling a reputable product like Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough.
