School fund raising is getting tougher and tougher with the rising gas prices and the ever tightening economy. The people who do the best for any fund raising project are those who are very creative and can think beyond the circumstances. This article will show you some ways to think outside the box to create more money for your school fundraising project.
Throw out the Bucket and Water Routine
Car washes have been so over used the past few years by rally squads, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and you name it. Standing on the corner holding signs is no way to really raise money these days. If you want to be successful with any fundraising activity then you need to be more creative than the old standards.
The Same but Different
If you want to do car washing and really make money for your school then try this. If a group will go door-to-door, rather than stand on a corner holding signs you will see amazing results. You will find that profits will increase by as much as 400%. Yes, if you simply go door-to-door asking people if you can wash their cars you will often get more than one car. You may be able to wash all the vehicles and some people have a motor home and you could get $25-$30 per visit or more.
Now that is taking the same simple principle yet doing it slightly differently! If you can learn to think like that you will be able to raise more money for your school fundraising project than anybody else in your area guaranteed.
