- The children need to have one or two products for the customer to choose from. This eliminates the confusion about each product and what it contains or what it does or how it works. If kids have a simple product like candy bars, they can ask the customer if they would like one with or without nuts. Keeping it simple will make it more likely for people to trust the children with their orders.
- Being able to process the transaction and receive the product on the spot creates a higher probability for the sale, especially if the product is a dollar or two. Be sure to supply a large pouch with a zipper, so they can place the money in the bag and close it immediately. When the transaction is simple this will create a higher possibility for the purchase. When people know that their dollars will go toward a good cause they are more willing to comply. Keep the price low, and you will see more results than you would if you had to place orders and wait for a product to be delivered to you.
- Children respond to quantity; when they see their pouch filling up with dollars, that is likely to be a positive motivating force for them to collect more. If it is easy to fill that pouch up so quickly, they will have an instant sense of accomplishment. When they see that they can get people to buy a candy bar or two they will want to continue and not give up. This simple fundraiser sets kids up for success because it focuses on keeping the dollar amount low enough, so most people will be able to afford the product. People like candy bars for the most part and are likely to buy some. Candy and goodies is one of the fastest disappearing things in the average American household, so replenishing the goodies stash will be met with a warm welcome more than likely.
