Do the fundraising math – you’ll see how it really works
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. Your school or non profit group needs to make an informed decision – Tracy Hamilton Inc. can assist you with that process – we are here to assist you.
