ehsguard Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 My guard is going to try selling Yankee Candles for the first time. The catalog has a lot, the items don't cost more than what you'd pay in the store, and your group makes 40%. With the holidays coming up, now is a good time to get started, but you have to do it quickly. Check out this link: http://www.gbimarketing.com/index.html Good luck!

PaleTanLines Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 My girls sell candy bars. You get 50% of the profit and there is little work involved. With wrapping paper, candles, magazine subscriptions, poinsettia flowers etc you have to take the order first. Then get it in from the company. Then disperse it to your customers. With candy, each kid gets a box. You can go up to Joe Schmoe at school, work, in front of a supermarket and say Hi Would You like to support my colorguard? and they can say sure! Then they give you money and they get the candy. Very little bookkeeping, planning, inventory worries. The candy doesnt take up much space, plus you can order more from the company as your fundraiser takes shape. Go with candy! It works everytime! Plus once a student sells out of their one box, they turn in their cash and can take another box! That way everyone can work at their own pace! Most local chocolate companies have it. M+M's has one too My girls do their through Hebert Chocolate. DELICIOUS!!!! Good Luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
