Remember to Fundraise After The Holidays
Generally, most fundraisers find that they get the best results during the holiday season. This is because people tend to feel more generous during the holidays and they usually have a bit more money to spend. But this doesn't mean that you should pack up shop and never attempt any fundraising once the holiday season is over.
Although people are known to be a bit tighter with their money by the time January rolls around, we have found that our Otis Spunkmeyer fundraising products remain extremely popular even after the holiday season is over. Cookie dough fundraisers can be hugely successful at any time of the year, and especially when people are returning to work and feeling the post-holiday blues. A delicious tub of Bake-Up Brownie Rounds or a traditional pretzel could be the perfect pick-me-up for someone mourning the end of the holidays.
Another benefit of fundraising after the holiday season is that not many people are doing it. Granted, this is because everyone has already completed their fundraising, but that puts you at an advantage because you won't just be one of the million other fundraisers looking for people to invite to your benefit luncheon or raffle.
It is very likely that your donors may even be excited about the prospect of attending a campaign after the holidays because this is a time of year when there is generally not much going on. Your campaign will liven things up and bring people together for a good cause, while also giving them the chance to socialize and enjoy themselves.
If you are exhausted from the holidays and would rather not undertake a large fundraising campaign, then cookie dough fundraisers can be the perfect solution. They are perfect for post-holiday fundraising, because they are low-key and don't involve a whole lot of participation from volunteers. All you have to do is pass out our simple cookie dough order forms and organize a date when the buyers can come round and pick up their orders.
To ensure that your donors don't forget to pick up their Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough, you can make use of our customizable cookie dough delivery day reminder forms, which can be sent out a few days before delivery.
