Piggy Banking while helping the community (Piggy Banking #3)
My folks piggy banked my school fundraiser when I was young.
James here.
School fundraisers are piggy banking threw and threw.
The kids make the sales and collect the money.
The products are provided by a 3rd party.
The organizer (my parents) only needed to…
Pitch the school and bag up the orders at deadline time.
(Order bagging was the tedious, time consuming, part.)
I remember the fundraisers being a month-long sprint of 12 hour days during deadline time…
Followed by a month or two off.
(Nothing to do between fundraisers.)
Today?
I’d run a school fundraiser VERY differently.
By using leverage and piggy banking.
I’d…
Remove all the product bagging.
Cut out the 3rd party and turn the offer digital.
And remove the highs and lows by organizing multiple schools.
There are multiple ways to feed this bird…
One that seems the simple?
Start a ‘Local Deals’ newsletter.
Set up a 1 page site…
Pay the school $1 for everyone who joined the newsletter through the school’s unique URL or QR code …
Kids bring home flyers with QR code saying…
The school gets $1/sign-up and parents get coupons and discounts.
It’s an easy value proposition so you’d likely get a lot of signups.
Now that you own a big list of locals?
You can monetize anyway you want.
…As long as it comes off cool to the community.
Affiliate offers…
Ads…
Sponsorships…
Classifieds…
Birthday shoutouts…
Spin off other groups/communities…
…All would work if framed properly.
Don’t have a few thousand up front to pay the schools?
Presell some ads to local businesses.
How could you make this work in your area?
