Frequently Asked
Fundraising Questions
Everyone
wants to choose successful fundraisers for their organization. You need
to achieve your financial goals, and we are here to help you do just
that!
In an effort to understand the
power of our Gourmet Candle Fundraisers, we want to answer some of our
most Frequently Asked Questions. We know that once you understand the
benefits to our unique program and product you will be excited about
offering our all-natural clean-burning candles to everyone you
know!
Will Fundraising with Gourmet Candles be as good as other items we have been selling
in the past?
There are many
factors that contribute to successful fundraisers that make it
impossible to guarantee success in any fundraising program.
However, Candle Fundraising Programs have been as successful, if not
more so, than most of the products sold today by fundraising
organizations.
Can we be successful if we only have a small organization?
Successful fundraisers are not dependent upon the amount of members in
your non-profit organization. We have seen small groups and even
individuals who have sold incredible amounts of candles for fundraising.
Do many people buy candles?
It would be impossible to know just how many people buy candles, but we
do know that on the average, 85% of all families buy candles at least
once a year. We believe that most of them will switch to
natural wax candles when they are educated on the hazards of other
types of candles. Many recent news articles confirm this.
Are Gourmet Candles too expensive as fundraising products?
Our natural wax gourmet candles have value, are naturally clean, and
represent a healthy alternative to paraffin (petroleum-based) candles
. They are priced in the same range as many paraffin candles
(which already have a great track record for fundraising).
Why is the "QUALITY" of Gourmet Candles so important?
We constantly search and hand-select fragrance oils from around the
world so that our candles give off a strong, realistic scent when they
burn. If it is an apple scented candle, it will smell like apples, not
perfume. We take pride - immense pride in our process which
assures that every aspect of our candle is crafted with the highest
quality and we truly believe that the key to having a long-term
relationship with your fundraising organization and your customer base
is to offer a candle that has no equal!
If we sell your Gourmet Candles two years in a row, will the second year be as successful as the first?
Past experience shows that the second, and subsequent fundraisers that
you run with our products are usually MORE
successful. This is because
people who purchased them before are aware of the quality and value of
our candles and buy more than they did previously. Some
organizations hold on-going fundraisers so that funds are continually
generated for the organization. We have no minimum orders for
fundraising – 1 case or 1000 cases – it doesn’t matter! Other
companies can saddle you with minimum orders which can make it
difficult or impossible to do this. We try to make it as easy as
possible for you! Give us a try and you'll see for yourself the power
of our program!
We would love to hear from
you too!
