Band... Now Read This!!
We are only days away from our hugest, largest, biggest, easiest, and all AWESOME and TERRIFIC Fundraiser... THE MATTRESS SALE!!! Why am I describing it that way? Once again, we can make an ENTIRE season of concessions profits (6 games) in 1 day!! What we made on the Band Camp Cookie Dough Sale... Imagine 6 such events to make what we did in 1 day!! And wouldn't we all get burned out if we had to do a 35 weeks of FR's at $200.00 profit per week? We made over $7,000.00 in profit last year in ONE DAY! All at a cost of $0.00 to us.
That's a lot of number crunching! The number that matters most is 1. Yes, just 1! If every one get just one committed adult person to come in for the sale, that's 100 people through the door. Last year, 57 mattress orders made $7,000.00 for the band (in a trip year..That all went to transportation and individual trip accounts). That 7,000 kept the cost per person from going sky-high. This year's profit is ear-marked for big ticket "Wish List" items that will impact the entire group.
Thank you in advance for all that you have done to make this year's Sale a success! Here's what is left to do in the final days:
- Make your phone calls to contacts.
- Sign up for a shift on Saturday.
- Keep handing out flyers and coupons.
- Use you social media contacts to spread the word and to make personal contacts.
- Continue to like and share Mattress Sale info as it is updates on social media.
- Call your committed contacts on the morning of the sale as a reminder to come out to the school on Saturday, 10 -5.
- Get ready to have some fun on Saturday. For the few of you that have already spoken to me about other Saturday commitments, see me for how you can help Thursday and Friday evenings BEFORE the sale on Saturday.
I am excited!!! And I hope that you are , too!
