Fun Fundraisers For Small Groups

Helping others is very rewarding for you, your business
and your workers, associates and clients, as you see those
you help reap benefits while earning some recognition for
your company efforts in the process. Plus check out the
words from inspirational pro Zig Ziglar, "If you help
enough people get what they want, you will get what you
want." Here are tips to help with your own fundraiser
marketing campaigns.

1. FLYERS - Create flyers for bulletin boards of the
organization involved in the fundraising and for local
area stores, shopping centers, community centers and other
places. On the flyer, make sure to include complete
contact information with your website, email address and a
phone number. To save on full color printing, print with
standard black ink on colored paper.

Along the bottom of the flyer, have tear out tabs with
your website link and phone number on them so that people
can tear them and off and take them home. Tip: pull off
the first tab to get the motion in action. Otherwise,
passers-by will think your flyer is too pretty to tear and
won't take any strips home for following up.

2. COORDINATE - Make sure the group or organization you
are helping takes part, too. Have them cross promote,
linking your fundraiser web page to their own website.
Create a special email message for them to send to co-
workers, their own clients and other contacts. And help by
submitting a newsletter article about the fundraiser to
their company newsletter. Speak often with the person
coordinating the fundraiser within the organization to
develop and follow through with your joint marketing
plans.

2. PRESS RELEASE - Announce your fundraiser to local
media; print, radio and television. Have digital photos on
hand to supplement and plenty of information for follow up
in a media kit - online is great for quick reference and
handy downloads. Include a link to your media kit in your
press release. It helps to have someone available for
speaking opportunities. Radio and television hosts may
want to interview someone about the event. If you have an
open house or kick-off event, invite the media, too. Have
media kits on hand to distribute (in print and on CDs, if
possible).

So reach out and help others with fundraiser marketing.
Helping others is a great way to help yourself, in the
process. And do remember to include your website and email
address on all of your marketing tools.
