Information & Important Tips
for Running a Successful Brochure Fundraiser

There are literally hundreds of local, regional and national distributors offering a huge selection of different brochures to people like you who are looking to raise money. These vendors offer anywhere from 25% to 90% profits depending on the type of brochure--how do you decide? Our suggestion is that you base your decision on how you think a brochure would sell in your area, not just on the profits.

The fact is, that if you have a brochure / supplier that offers you, let's say 50% profit and you only sell $1,000 worth of product and you have another program that offers you only 30% profit but you sell $5,000 worth, you wind up earning three times as much even though your profit margin is smaller.
