Sell More & Make More with Mom’s Pantry Fundraisers

If you’re looking to find a new, inventive fundraising idea for your sports team, school or club, you’ve come to the right place. Mom’s Pantry has worked with groups of all different causes that have used a vast range of fundraising ideas. From bake sales to car washes, there are many fundraising ideas out there. But which will ensure the most profit for your time?

Fundraisers can be a lot of work, depending on the group’s experience with fundraising and the number of people involved. If the group is unorganized or working through an inexperienced fundraising program, it may reduce the final profits. Below, we discuss how to get the most out of your fundraising efforts. Keep reading to learn more.

Fundraising Ideas for Sports Teams, Schools, and Clubs

In our experience, the most successful food fundraiser always offers a wide range of food items for people to purchase.

The method of fundraising should be as simple as possible to allow all participants to do a good job. With online order forms and labelled order deliveries, Mom’s Pantry makes fundraising easy and fun. Our range of food items available allows you to promote combinations like “Backyard BBQ” with potato seasonings, rubs, and marinades; “Movie Night Combos” with popcorn and popcorn seasoning, appetizers, and cookie dough; or “Stock Up the Freezer” with pie shells, tart shells, pierogies, chicken tenders, and more. With such a range of options, you can tailor your marketing efforts to suit the audience around you.

Get the Most Out Of Your Fundraiser

Looking for ways to maximize the return on your fundraising efforts? With decades of experience helping different groups raise money, we’ve written down the main ways we’ve seen food fundraisers succeed. The following are the three best ways to get the most out of your fundraising plan:

  1. Sell more: This seems obvious, but it truly is the best way to raise the most funds. The higher the volume, the more your return will be! It’s that easy. Mom’s Pantry offers marketing kits to help you achieve this one.
  2. Incentivize sales: Make a prize for top sellers! Incentivize your group to sell more with a desirable prize (we often see gift cards, tickets to a popular event near you, etc). What you use to motivate your participants is up to you.
  3. Focus on selling the high-commission items: Certain foods in our shelves at Mom’s Pantry will earn you a higher commission. Focus your efforts on these high-reward items rather than the items with a smaller percentage commission. Our foods can bring in up to 40% commission or 20-30% on more expensive items.

By using all of these strategies, you gain the best chance at having a wildly successful food fundraiser!
