Why sell during Prime Time?

Have you been looking for school fundraising ideas but you're not quite sure when the best time to run a fundraiser is? We can help with that! Whether you're looking for school fundraisers or a fundraiser for kids in groups, our fundraising catalogs are a great idea for your PTA/PTO fundraiser! In just two short weeks, our catalog fundraisers can help your school or group earn between $5,000 and $100,000. So, what are you waiting for, let's get started!


Excitement Advantage

At the beginning of school everyone is fresh and inspired.


Early bird gets the worm

Sales drop after prime time as communities have already been hit with other fundraisers.

Higher Participation

Large gift shoppers raise the most money because of their selection diversity and online shopping.
Put your strongest fundraiser first. On average, a family sells 10 items, so the key factor to success
is "How Many" participate!


So, if you're looking for a high profit fundraiser and want to get the best sales, sign up for one of our catalog fundraisers! To put things into perspective, Lincoln Elementary kicked off the 1st week of September in 2016 and ended with a participation rate of 35% with 450 students and sales of $25,563. In 2017, the new board decided to push the sale back to the end of October. Their participation rate fell to 18% with sales of $12,308. No surprise... Lincoln PTA was less than excited about their sale and didn’t understand why it was half the prior year. After a consultation, they agreed with us that earlier was better for their school fundraiser. In 2018 they kicked off on August 31st and finished with a 37% participation rate and sales of $28,346. Needless to say, they are kicking off at the beginning of the 2019 school year!
