One of the many ways to sell your candles. Setting up fundraising programs is one option that you may wish to consider.
Establishing a fundraising program featuring your candles is a great way to multiply your sales force in an economical manner. Fundraising can be a great way to have many people selling on your behalf. It also allows you to leverage your ability to sell without you doing most of the work.
Here’s how a typical fundraiser works. You find organizations that need to raise money and make an arrangement with them to sell your candles for you for a portion of the profit. You agree to supply each candle to them for a discounted price, and when they sell each candle at a pre-determined retail price that is higher, the organization keeps the difference for their cause.
Say you sell them each Jar Candle for $14 and they sell them for $20. That is a $6 profit/Candle for them. That is enough to get any organization excited to sell.
Typically, no money exchanges hands between you and the organization until they have collected all of the candle orders. This way, the organization does not need to come up with money out of pocket to give to you. They simply take orders, collect money for the products ordered, and turn one combined order in to you. You then collect your negotiated price for each candle, and they keep the difference.
