How to do an Avon Fundraiser.

Sorry it has taken me so long to recover...
Here it is. :)

How to do an Avon Fundraiser

1. Find a place (like a school or church) or organization, that needs to raise money. and has a group of people who are willing to help. This is key! This is how you reach new people.
2. Visit with the person in charge. Get their name/phone and address for your records! Bring a catalog an order book, a collection envelope, and a Avon clear bag to put it in. This is what you'll explain goes out to everyone helping with the fundraiser. One bag per person. (say 65 people helping, now imagine if everyone brings in about $25 in orders 65x25=$1,625 in orders!)
   
3. Your total sales will work to help you establish your goal to presidents club.
4. You will get to keep all the names and addresses of your new client base!
5. You MUST explain that every order form must be complete in order to process. Explain that receiving an order that reads "mom" soap. will NOT be processed, because it will become confusing when there are 15 mom orders and no way to figure out which mom it goes to. (this will also help you get complete info on your new customers)
6. Now you should also bring for your presentation the earnings chart. This will show them how they can reach their fund raising goal. It would be helpful if you also had a letter explaining the due dates and any other instructions for this to be a smooth transaction.
7. When the money is collected explain that you perfur if someone from their organization be there as the orders are opened and monies are counted. (so no one is accused of stealing) What I mean is, you open envelope 1. and it has order form for soap, shampoo, dress, etc did they include the right money amount for that order? Yes great! You can go on to the next envelope...
8. Now it is your business however I do sudgest that you collect the money upon receiving the order, this way you're not giving out $1500 worth of product and praying that everyone brings back their money. If you do it this way you'll be sorry and so will the ones doing the fundraiser.
9. Ok, you have the right dollar amount and all the orders, simply thank them and go home to add the orders one at a time to yourAvon.com This is the perfect time to add each new customer to your client base! (this IS why you did the fundraiser!) Don't forget to order AVON BAGS and An Avon book for each order (samples if you wish)!!!
   
10. The order arrives... Take an invantory and print out the invoices for all the orders, gather your bags and products. Visit your organization, and have someone RESPONSIABLE from there help you put the orders together. Add an invoice to each order. Put your card, and a New Avon Book (coupon or sample if you wish) in each bag. You can add a bow and a spritz of perfume if you wish.
    
11. It would be nice if there was a prize for the top three who sold the most! Bubblebath? or an ice cream party for the calss that raised the most! (cost? $30?)
    
12. Work out by using your invoice how much percentage your fundraiser raised and present them their money! You pay your Avon Bill with the rest...
    
13. Depending on you and how much they are getting percentage wise. 30-40-50% You may or may not have a profit, it all depends on how much of the percentage you are giving them. (But Remember: you are doing this to get a new client base! if thoes same 65 people had orders for 3 people each you now have 65x3=195 new potential customers who are using your Avon Product! Who have your books, who have your card, who have a coupon for their next order!) Now your thinking!!! Caching$$
14. You could Make a Big "to do" about how much money they raised! Make up posters to announce how much they raised! You could have an Ice cream party for the winning group that raised the most money. You could do a raffle of all the people who were out there getting the orders and announce the winners on the posters! they could win Bubble bath or a necklace or something. (they could pick from your prize stash) during the ice cream party! Make it an event they'll always remember, one that they may want to do again next year! Make them love having you to do fund-raisers with!
