Can Candle Fund Raisers be the Key to your Success?

Candle fund raisers can be the pathway to your success. Here is one network marketer's advice on how she keeps her business growing!

Start Small

Don't try to contact the Susan G. Komen Foundation, for example, as your first candle fund raiser! This organization is HUGE, and hires professional fundraisers at the national level. You will need to start at a much smaller level.

There are two reasons why you need to start small.

First, you have never held a fundraiser, and you want to make sure everything runs smoothly. My first fundraiser was for my son! He needed to raise money for a band trip he was taking, and thought the raffle the band came up with was one of the lamest fund raiser ideas he had ever heard of!

Second, you have never held a fundraiser!!! It is so much easier to start small and work your way up to larger organizations than the other way around!

Start Early

Most organizations plan their fund raisers months or even a year ahead of the time they hold them. Don't expect to contact an organization today and start a fund raiser tomorrow! Even easy fundraisers like the one I held for my son took organization. I needed to get a fund raising packet together for him. At a minimum you will need a manilla envelope or something similar, catalogs or sales flyers, order forms, pens, receipts, and a money envelope.

Know Your Product

Organizations will want to know why they should hold a fundraiser with your products. Some products are universal and others are more geared to one particular group of people. I love candle fund raisers, because over 90% of people in the US burn scented candles. Mia Bella Candles provide me with a Gourmet All Natural Candle that I can offer to an organization, with a better value for the money than other popular gourmet candle companies. For example, I offer a 16 ounce candle for $20. The leading competitor, Yankee Candles has a 14.5 ounce candle for $23. I offer them more product for less money. I also offer them one of the best burning candles on the market.

So, find out more about easy fundraisers with Mia Bella Candles by contacting Jane Newton.
