If there’s one item that’s found in almost every home it’s scented candles. They add a rich aroma to the air and they are a fast and easy way to brighten a room. Candles are fast becoming one of the best fundraising products around as they are inexpensive to produce and can yield a substantial amount in donations.
Having a candle fundraiser is one of the great ways to raise money for almost every type of organization. The key to a successful candle fundraiser is in the marketing approach. If you are working at raising capital for a school project, having the students help with the fundraising by being the candle sellers works well.
The scent of each candle should be carefully chosen when you are organizing your fundraising campaign. Basic scents such as vanilla, cinnamon or lavender are ideal choices in a scented candle. You want to choose products that appeal to the widest range of individuals. Selling products with exotic scents won’t help with raising more money. The basics are best.
Many of these types of fundraising drives become yearly events. People will anxiously await your candle products each year and will stock up, which means you’ll be raising more money. Plan your candle fundraiser at the same time each year is a great strategic move.
