Fundraising with Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
Click Here for fundraising with Roses as it's handled differently than chocolate strawberries.
Chocolate covered strawberries are a wonderful upscale gift, and they can help you raise funds for your organization.
There are basically two ways to do fundraising with chocolate covered strawberries, one is direct sales, the other commissioned sales.
Direct sales:
With direct sales you bring the product into a central location. This method is much
more suited to religious and school groups: if you place mass orders
there is a large discount included in the purchase price and the
shipping is less than if the gifts were shipped separately. The margin
that you charge the customer is entirely up to you, but the cost per
dozen strawberries is significantly less when you purchase multiple
dozen. This is a very perishable product so that must always be a factor
in these types of sales. There is no wiggle room, delayed customer
pickups will ruin the product and the customers need to know this if you are doing pre-ordering. We recommend that you re-package the strawberries into smaller amounts than the full dozen.
Commissioned sales:
Do you think your organization�s logo on chocolate covered strawberries would help raise funds?
Here are the high level details:
10% donation to your organization, for every sale that contains your organizations logo on the chocolate covered strawberries.
or
You can sell the product directly on your web site for whatever you want and then enter the order in our system, shipping calendars and delivery dates are tricky, for example if you get an order the day before Valentine's we've probably already hit the cutoff for that day. Looser delivery commitments generally work best for this.
Start up costs(optional):
Your organization pays for the initial print run of the custom images needed; the cost will vary depending on how many colors you use, we recommend a single color logo. If all of the images from the initial print run are used during the first year and a half: we (CCBerries) will pay for a reprint.
Starting up:
When you choose to make strawberries with your organizations logo you�ll need to order the artwork printing (it takes about 2 weeks to print and another week to prep and distribute the images for use). We handle the artwork prep, special product configuration and will provide you with images for your emails, web site and other printing needs.
Way to market:
Each organization has different resources available that can be used in fundraising, it could be your website, mailings, newsletters, emails, or something as simple as handing out special business cards. We are pretty flexible with what is allowed but there are some limitations, you can�t pretend to be us and the methods/ads should be truthful. (No �You will be struck you down if you don�t buy these..�). We can provide the graphics, electronic banners or images needed.
Limitations:
You must be a valid representative of the organization you are acting on behalf of. Your organization must be US based. Your organization and website must not advocate breaking the laws of the United States, or contain any material that might be considered �hate speech�, or advocate violence in any way. The suitability of your organization for this program is at our sole discretion.
