It could not be a 100% sure that every family has a candle in their house, but it's 100% sure that anyone is free to use another candle. This realization has convinced churches and other religious organizations to manage fund raising activities through candles. Fund raising through soy candles is a popular choice by most groups around the world.
So, how do you manage a soy candle fundraising campaign?
You should be supported by a company or independent candlemaker if you are looking to raise funds through soy candles. They will help you to aquire the proper materials that you need for your fund raising activity. Materials such as brochures and other sign-out forms will make the fundraising much easier. Then, it is your responsibility to collect orders using these brochures and forms to keep your work organized. These promotional activities may last for several weeks depending on your goals and team. The candlemaking company will then send to you the candles that you've ordered at a wholesale price. (Sometimes you can even make your own candles and make even more money!)
In some cases, your candle supplier will want you to issue your collections to them before they will give the candles. However, some will allow you to finish all your transactions within the community and let you issue your collections on your convenient time.
How much will it cost?
While different groups offer different fundraising packages, it is not uncommon for the fundraising to cost you several hundred dollars up fromt. Just be sure to ask your chosen fundraising company for their complete listing of prices for each candle. Make sure their listings clearly list the prices for each kind of candle if there are several choices. This will make it easier for your customers to decide.
Does your fundraising company supply you with brochures and candles as samples?
Any well-established company is much willing to give you sample brochures and candles for free or a nominal fee. After all, you're helping them to sell their candles too!
How about the appearance and scent of the candles?
When deciding on a soy candle fundraising provider, you will also want to find out if their candles are scented. These candles are often much easier to sell and give your customers more choices. There are hundreds of candle scents out there from floral to seasonal smells. Just find what works for you and your audience.
