The success of your fundraiser depends on how much publicity your group can attract. Community awareness of your fundraising need and your fundraising offering will always increase your results. Here are some fundraising publicity tips: Publicity Tip #1 - Use your website If you don't have one, get one. Use it to communicate your goals,thank your sponsors, highlight periodic offerings, recognize successes, honor individual contributors, etc. Promote your web site on all your materials. Publicity Tip #2 - Actively seek more publicity Get the word out about your fundraiser in as many ways as possible. Get into as many neighborhood newsletters and other public forms of communication as you can. Send out press releases to the local media and invite coverage with photo opps at your fun events. Publicity Tip #3 - Utilize any gathering Make announcements at other events to spread the word, display products, take orders, make sales, and recruit volunteers. Take a joint venture approach to marketing your group by giving something of value back to all those who join your team. Publicity Tip #4 - Goal awareness Heavily promote the goal of your fundraiser in all communications, particularly between sellers and buyers. A good cause gets the money out. Make sure that all participants know the specific reason why the money is being raised. Publicity Tip #5 - Communication Use all available means of increasing awareness of your group's efforts including roadside signs, e-mail lists, phone calling tree, newsletter, flyers, posters, bulletin boards, recorded hotline messages, etc. Publicity Tip #6 - Sponsorship decals Offer these free to supporting merchants. Sell to membership level supporters. Use the glass stick-on type for storefronts or vehicle windows. This "branding" gets the word out to the community that your organization has a strong support base. Publicity Tip #7 - Bumper stickers Sell your organization year round with every fundraiser by offering one that says "Proud Supporter of _____." Give one to every volunteer and group member. Publicity Tip #8 - Flyers everywhere Hit local mailboxes (follow postal regulations) and car windshields in shopping centers. Give fundraiser details in your flyer in a way that promotes sales and gives contact information. Put a coupon or free gift offer into the flyer that will keep it from being thrown away. Your merchant base will help provide the offers because this is free advertising for them. For example, a flyer including a car wash, dry cleaners, or oil change coupon. (Or even all three!) Publicity Tip #9 - Build an e-mail list Ask for an e-mail address for a newsletter distribution when you're fundraising. Have opt-in links on your web site. Build an online community of supporters by offering them extras available only at your site. Put your fundraising publicity plan in place today. You'll reap the benefits in continued growth and additional fundraising success for years to come.
