Many organizations set out on a fundraising campaign with one goal in mind and that’s to raise money in a new and novel way. Using one of the generic approaches will ultimately bring in a certain level of donation money, but finding something original helps with raising more capital.
A catalog filled with useful and unusual products can be the focus of any successful fundraiser. In fact, some organizations have created a catalog filled with products and this has become the signature of their fundraising efforts. Their supporters wait with anticipation every year for the fundraising catalog.
This is obviously a significant undertaking so having someone from the association of fundraising professionals on board is a smart strategic move. It’s important to pick novel items that appeal to many people, including things that are currently popular. You want to raise your donation bar by making certain that your donors get products they can use while at the same time, you are making a profit that will increasing the operating capital of your organization.
To start this type of campaign, decide on the focus of the catalog and work with a fundraising professional to choose the products. Then it’s on to the marketing and spreading the work about your fundraiser and the good cause it supports.
