As with any type of selling campaign you need to have a few basics points considered before you launch into your cosmetic fundraiser.


First things first, test out the products you are going to sell. You want to be sure that the products you offer are high quality at a great price. You should be able to order a sample pack from the fundraising company for little or no cost. This will allow you to ensure you are only offering products you can be proud of.

Secondly set up your goals. Decide how much money you are wanting to raise

and how long you will be fundraising for. This will help your customers know what the limits are and help your volunteers to sell.

Third is to organize. Get all your fundraising volunteers together and train them on the ins and outs of your cosmetic fundraiser. Also allow them and yourself ample time for preparation before your fundraiser begins.
