Combine our Traditional Brochure Fundraiser with our Online Fundraiser for even Greater Profits for your Organization!

Do your participants have friends and family out of town, out of state, or friends and family they won't be seeing before the conclusion of your fundraiser?  With today's social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Email, Messenger etc our Online Fundraising Program provides the perfect opportunity to maximize your fundraising sales.  Although we will support organizations who wish to only hold an online fundraiser we recommend combining our traditional brochure fundraiser with our online fundraising program for the best results. 

For the BEST results we recommend promoting a combination of our face-to-face brochure program along with an online campaign.  In most cases, organizations will experience a significant increase in sales when running them concurrently.

As a member of our group, we would like to ask you to participate in this fundraiser electronically in addition to your sales from the brochure. Please go to the link shown below and register as a participant. After you do so, you will have access to the e-mail template to forward to your friends and family. It will include a link to take them to our shopping site and will give you credit for their purchases. http://www.celebratinghome.com/Fundraiser/GMHS In addition to sending an email to your family and friends, especially those who are outside of your community, sharing the link on social media pages such as facebook will help you to generate additional sales. Combining traditional brochure sales with online sales is the best way to maximize your fundraising potential. Thanks for participating.

When the Reports link is clicked, the list can either be filtered by "All Registered Participants" or "Participant Sales Only.”  This  allows the Organization to see what participants have registered regardless of sales, or they can filter on Participant Sales Only and see a list of participants that have received sales to their credit for the purpose of prizes or credit toward their personal goal. 

Edit Site allows you to edit your site text, colors and your image.

View Site will open your shopping site so that you can shop from it or use the social tools that are included on the site. 

- The registration was created as tax exempt and the form has not yet been sent and/or approved by the tax department.  This is indicated by a "No" in the "Tax Exempt Approved?" column. 

 

Using Your Shopping Site

Now that your site is created there are several tools built into the site itself that will be beneficial to you. 

Share Your Fundraiser with Supporters.

Anyone shopping on your site can help you get the word out to other potential supporters. 

In the Share Our Fundraiser section:

- You can send yourself an e-mail that includes the shopping link that you ca then easily forward to anyone in your address book encouraging her to support the group.

- You can create a post on you Facebook wall to share the shopping link for your fundraiser in a forum where extended social network will see it and have an opportunity to shop. 

- You can share the fundraiser on Twitter and other social media to provide excellent visibility to your fundraiser to a much larger audience than was previously possible.

Communicate Your Goals and Progress

There is a section on your shopping site that gives visitors information about when your fundraiser is scheduled to come to a close, what your goal is for online sales and the progress you've made toward your goal so far.

 

Participant Registration

If your Organization is awarding prizes for sales or giving participant credit toward individual expenses based on sales made on their behalf, it is important to have the participants register.  They can do this by simply providing their First Name, and e-mail address on the shopping site.

 

When your participants register, they will automatically receive an e-mail with their unique URL that ensures that that individual gets credit for sales made using that link.  By forwarding that e-mail to their friends and family, it can be guaranteed that anyone who shops using that link does so to the credit of that participant.
