Signing up is just the beginning. Here’s how to unlock real success:
s
Pick a start date and let families know early. Use our flyers, emails, and goal posters to generate excitement and set clear expectations.
s
Post weekly updates on Facebook or school pages. Text the link. Print a QR code for backpacks. The more visibility your fundraiser has, the more people will shop or donate.
s
Celebrate small wins. Track participation publicly. Offer flash challenges or prize bonuses mid-fundraiser to keep motivation high.
s
Whether someone sold 1 item or 50, make them feel valued. A simple thank-you note or social media shoutout builds goodwill and future participation.

From marketing tools to prize programs to personalized support, we’ve packed our system with everything you need to succeed. The groups that follow the plan consistently earn more—because they work with the system, not around it.
