Kreative Fundraising 2011

     Well, 2011 was my first year providing fundraising calendars. It was very interesting to work with a couple businesses as well as groups to learn from the different experiences. I found it very fascinating to monitor the sales between businesses that are in sales and compare the progress to the groups that did it strictly to for the purpose to raise funds. I was extremely impressed that the 2 businesses were outsold by the 2 groups.

     I found that the 2 groups utilised my advice whereas the 2 businesses didn’t.

     One business just didn’t bother with anything other than the 2 signs provided, while the other business used 2 of the 3 recommendations. Unfortunately, they didn’t do the one thing that I would classify as thee most important and would fall under what I call, Sales 101. I plan on creating a video and posting it on my YouTube Channel, kreativetouch22, in the next couple weeks so I can provide it to this year’s fundraisers.

     I’m quite excited for the 2012 to seeing what Kreative Touch will get involved in this time around. I have a better understanding, and preparation to strategize in order to reach a broader scope. This time around there will be proper preparation time to enhance the experience for all businesses and groups in order to provide them with a great structured opportunity to raise money in a more meaningful way from their customized calendar. Not to mention it is a lot healthier than a chocolate bar.

     At least now I have until May/June before I start contacting new businesses that are already showing an interest and as 2012 starts I will be ensure the prep work is all set to go!

     Here’s to a Happy and Successful New Year everyone!
