The choices for what we could sell were great! I found the system for tracking personal sales as well as group sales really easy to use, and the information provided was helpful. The prices of the products were comparable, but the shipping charges were really prohibitive. Several people who wanted to buy products decided not to because the shipping cost was really high. I'm not sure that there is much you can do about this, but I thought I would mention why we probably didn't get as many sales as we could.

Everything ran so smoothly, it was great! The delivery driver called about 30 minutes before arriving, asked where (specifically) we wanted him to park to unload, and then left everything on one pallet. We had Study Hall kids come and help unload the pallet, take everything into the Music Room, and then we sorted all the boxes/bags into family groups for easy pick-up.
The order arrived around 10:30 or so. We have early dismissals on Wednesdays for professional development, so we hit the right day for delivery. Students stopped by on their way out the door early for the day and took everything with them. Students from the Elementary were able to ride the shuttle bus over to the high school and pick up their goodies too. We had 2:00-5:00 available for parents to come by. All orders were picked up by the end of the day.
We did have two students' orders that were missing items. I filled out the "Adjustment" spreadsheet yesterday and sent it to you. Out of all the items ordered and the number of kids who sold, we were glad it was only a few items. No worries. The people understood, and they're waiting on the product whenever it should arrive.
It was extremely easy to work with you and your company. Flawless all the way around.

High School Fundraising Ideas: How Do They Work?
High School Fundraising Ideas: How Do They Work?Of the 17 million U.S. high school students, about 90% are doing extracurricular activities. Everyone’s looking for more creative high school fundraising ideas that engage not just students, their family members, and community members but also local businesses.
That’s where we come in. With over 100 best-selling products, you’ll find the perfect school fundraiser for your group.
Sponsors can have their students take orders from a brochure or sell an “in-hand” product. Brochure fundraising requires us to ship supplies to your group before you start. You’ll receive brochures, order forms, prize flyers, and money collection envelopes.
Distribute these items to the group at your kickoff meeting. Instruct students to collect orders by showing their brochures to people they know.
After two weeks of selling, send us your order forms for processing. We’ll send you a sales report and invoice and schedule your delivery date. To simplify distribution, each high school student receives an individually boxed order.
If you decide to sell the product upfront, submit a purchase order. Once we ship the product, distribute it to your students with a deadline to return the money. Invoices are due within 15 days of receiving the product. It’s essential to encourage students to actively participate in fundraising activities to ensure the success of the events.

Unique High School Fundraisers
High school is all about school spirit. Capitalizing on this enthusiasm is where you’ll find the most profit in your fundraiser.
No matter what product you choose, you can create something simple and profitable. You want to sell a product that generates big wins for your organization.
Creative Fundraising for High Schoolers
One of the best times to promote your sale is during a kickoff meeting for a student organization—especially one where you’re setting big goals for the year. Many students will look forward to the chance to contribute to their group’s cause.
Consider forming fundraising committees with a mix of student and parent volunteers, which can enhance your level of engagement and help get fundraiser buy-in. These students can be vital ambassadors for your organization’s fundraiser.
Valentine’s Day is a perfect opportunity for a high school fundraiser. We offer several ideas, like Popcornopolis or Yummy Hearts Lollipops. Customers can choose from 6 popcorn flavors that come pre-wrapped in bouquet-style arrangements.
A fun way to sell these would be to include Valentine’s Day cards with each purchase, making a quick and easy gift for that special sweetheart, which is an elevated take on Valentine's candy grams. Plan to start this fundraiser for a pre-Valentine’s Day delivery in early January. Check out high school selling success secrets.
More High School Fundraising Programs
Pizza is the perfect item to sell to parents and teachers. Most high school students have a pizza after school.
‘Heartland Goodies & Gifts' is an excellent option for classic high school fundraising ideas. With homewares and kitchen gadgets, it's ideal for whipping out at a family gathering or dinner party. Or even at the office break room for busy executives who do not have time to shop.
Some brochures also offer magazine subscriptions. Does anyone you know work at a doctor’s office or somewhere with a long wait? Try selling those subscriptions that regularly need updating. Maybe even bring your brochure along to your next teeth cleaning!
