FundraisinG Middle & High School Students How to Generate Reoccurring Contributions One unique feature you find with Greencore Fundraising Bags, is that our website allows for your supporters to continue to return and repurchase their bags, still donating to your organization. So how do you communicate that to your sponsors?
MAKE a plan!
During your initial meeting, create an overview of what marketing efforts you will utilize, who you will reach out to, and which students will be involved in which tasks. Once a plan is in place, your overall fundraising efforts will go by much smoother then when everyone is following their own ideas of what to do.
Send a EMAIL reminder
Email your supporters a friendly reminder a few months after they initially donated to your program, reminding them of this opportunity. Maybe they are just running out of bags and have been meaning to purchase more at the grocery store, so remind them that they can have them delivered instead! Take this email as a chance to thank them for their contribution already. To have a good customer base, you want to keep a friendly and grateful attitude towards them.
GET CREATIVE!
Another tool could be to design a reminder flyer or postcard and return to the businesses you originally met with. This flyer should include information about how to reorder, and maybe even reinclude your campaign code in case they have misplaced it. You could try and meet with the same manger or owner, or you could simply leave the flyer with an employee to pass along to the employer. Again, take this meeting time as an opportunity to thank them for their initial support.
USE SOCIAL MEDIA
Finally, utilize your social media platforms as much as possible. Download this image to post on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or Snapchat as a reminder that your products can still be purchased to support your program. Be sure to include the Greencore Fundraising website in your posts so customers can easily find it. This ongoing support ability is not only a unique feature to this fundraising program, but an amazing opportunity to ensure a successful campaign. We suggest that you take these tips to build a strong customer base and continue to build funds for your organization.
