Something that a sales
rep can do to boost sales is to try to sell their products at
a school function. This gives people, who would not normally
go out of their way to go to a party discussing items they could
sell, a chance to see your products. Fundraisers are a great
way to let people know about your product but more importantly
they give you an opportunity to do something for a good cause.

Tips for Fundraisers
• Always
get permission before planning to set up a presentation somewhere.
•
Set up a booth where ever you deem appropriate, some businesses
will allow you set up a booth if it is for a good cause, on
a nice day the park is always an enjoyable place to be.
• Pick a charity that you want to support and let people
know that you will be giving a percentage of your earnings to
that charity.
• Offer a donation jar, that way if there are people who
truly do not want to buy something they can give directly to
the charity.
•
Have a raffle for a free product and charge a dollar per ticket
and add the money to the donation jar.
