What's So Great About A Lollipop Fundraiser

By Catherine Bidwell


No one wants to do a fundraiser which barely breaks even, the entire purpose is to ensure that you are getting a good enough profit margin to not just make it worthwhile for you, but so that you can give a substantial amount to the cause which you are fundraising for. More and more people want to do fundraisers and they simply cannot think of any ideas which they believe will be good enough. Many ideas may not achieve your desired result so its crucial that you go back to basics. Consider things people of all ages will enjoy and want to be involved in. One example of something which everyone will love is a lollipop fundraiser.



This is not a nickname of any sort, it is exactly what it says, have a fundraiser which sells lollipops. This might perhaps seem slightly trivial but it can be a fantastic way of raising a little bit more cash.

Many fundraising ideas require a large sum of money to get going, though one which sells lollipops this really is unnecessary. You can purchase large bags of lollipops for a small price. When you sell them you can choose which price to offer them for. However, since you will make a large profit margin attempt to keep the price low to encourage more sales.

It is possible to really experiment with these fundraisers. As an example if you wanted to do a raffle as well, more people will probably participate when they're given a lollipop with their ticket. Or, if the fundraiser was for a specific purpose, for example breast cancer, you could sell just pink lollipops. The number of choices are countless.

This is such a versatile idea, when you are selling lollipops it is suitable for pretty much any event you could think of. Even so, with certain fundraising causes it might be a good idea to put thought into whether it would be appropriate to place a stall at a certain event.

You do not need to limit your fundraising cause to just one event. Don't think you can only go and raise money at a school fair, attend other events too like markets, special events, local or school events and really increase your income.

If you are really thinking about raising money for any cause which is close to you then a lollipops fundraiser can definitely benefit you and your group. Should you buy just one bag of lollipops then sell them, you would be able to quadruple the cost of the lollipops.
