Holiday Card Fundraiser

It's beginning to look a lot like the holidays! Even though electronic methods have replaced a lot of day-to-day communications, many people still like to send paper cards for Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. Most of the people who enjoy doing that don't want to leave anyone out, so they give holiday cards to everyone—family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and their kids' teachers. They may even give cards to their service providers such as doctors, dentists, and mail carriers. In other words, they need a lot of holiday cards! Your organization can take advantage of this tradition with a holiday card fundraiser. Find a company that sells holiday cards by the box. The company will provide your group with catalogs and order forms. You can either go door to door, or distribute catalogs and order forms at church, school, and work. Once you've collected all the orders, the card company will either ship the cards directly to your customers, or send them all to you to distribute. Don't forget to talk to local businesses, too. They often send cards to their customers, so you can become their one-stop shop for all the cards they'll need!
