Using Hershey's products for your upcoming fundraiser is a fun and easy choice, not to mention very fitting: Milton Hershey himself was a great philanthropist. Using chocolate and candy as fundraising tools may not seem, on first glance, to be the most lucrative fund raising scheme. But because the products are inexpensive and widely consumed, selling them for a profit is a snap. Also, product sales of Hershey's candy bars are simple, straightforward transactions, meaning that school organizations, Boy Scouts, soccer teams, or other groups with large numbers of children can easily take the program on and succeed. Figure out how many Hershey's products your group can conceivably sell within the chosen fund raising time limit, then decide whether you are going to sell the products door-to-door or at a stationary table or booth somewhere in the community. Hershey's products sell well at sports events, after-school activities, and in public parks, provided that your group has permission to sell there. For the most professional fundraiser possible, make sure that your salespeople, especially if they are children, are well-informed about the Hershey's products and prices. The sale should also be an opportunity to share some information about the group or cause that benefits from the fundraiser. Last but not least, when selling Hershey's products- by all means, keep that chocolate out of the direct sunlight.
