Christmas trees and tree products make excellent fundraisers for all kinds of worthy causes, including scouting projects, community events, and programs to benefit local schools, churches and social service programs. Not only will they help raise money for your favorite cause this year, but your customers will be so pleased with their purchases that they will return year after year, bringing their family and friends along as well.
Christmas tree sales can raise several thousand dollars or more, just by planning your event at least a few months in advance and coming up with some creative ways to attract potential customers. We will be glad to help you plan your event and arrange delivery of fresh trees, wreaths and garlands in plenty of time for your sale.
Be sure to make large signs to attract customers, and offer free hot cocoa, tea and coffee to keep your customers warm while they choose their Christmas tree. Play holiday music, preferably on a loudspeaker system, to attract passers-by. And remember to put up your sample wreaths and promise delivery within a few days of placing their orders.
Another idea is to sell holiday gift baskets containing food items, and you can also sell Christmas lighting and decorations. You might even contact local merchants for donations of holiday-related items to build a more diverse inventory that will attract more customers.
Adding these kind of festive promotions to your Christmas tree fundraising sale will bring more people to your event. If they have a good time buying a tree from your group, they will tell their friends and neighbors, which will mean even more business and more tree sales. In the end, your group will have a fun time learning to work together as a team for a worthy cause, and you will be making money to support the group’s program goals and activities. |
