Cookie dough fundraisers are one of the most successful and beloved fundraisers your group can do. Whether you have a large group like a church, school, or sports association or a smaller group like a cheerleading squad, fraternity or music club - a cookie dough fundraiser is a great and easy way to make a lot of money for your group. There are easy ways to make your fundraiser even more profitable.
First, sell Auntie Anne's pretzels at the same time as cookie dough!
When your group or team members go door-to-door and speak with their friends and family, it is very easy to ask them if they want delicious pretzels in addition to (or instead of) cookie dough. Pretzels are a favorite treat for many people and like cookie dough are especially welcome at holiday time when families and friends get together. It's easy - all your group members need to do is take Auntie Anne's pretzel order forms with them and present them with their cookie dough order forms. You will be surprised how many people won't be able to resist adding on a pretzel order too.
Second, set high goals for your group and have a set end date for your fundraiser.
Make sure everyone in your group knows when the fundraiser ends and when they must return the cookie dough order forms. By creating a sense of urgency and having high expectations, your group members will know what they are trying to accomplish during the duration of the fundraiser. It is helpful to offer incentives or prizes for those who reach the goals set for them. You can also set a group goal and if met, can have a pizza party or even a cookie dough party to celebrate your group's achievements.
Third, motivate and get participation from each member of your group.
It seems that it goes without saying but don't underestimate the importance of having each and every member of your group commit to selling a certain amount of cookie dough. The fundraiser is only as successful as your group makes it!
By selling pretzels, setting goals and end dates and motivating your group members, make your cookie dough fundraiser your most profitable ever!
