Where's a common place you always seem to buy a candy bar, even when
you don't plan on it? Where do you willingly pay $2 or $3 for a can
of soda? If you answered retail check-out lane and amusement park
then you have not only been a captive audience - but a captive
consumer. Whenever you have a consumer standing still for a moment -
and, more important, standing still with your product in front of
them - you have a higher chance to make a sale.

Before your sale starts send letters to participants and parents and
put up signs around your organization to announce your fundraiser.
Introduce yourself, your cause, your goal, and what you're selling.
Most importantly, *ASK* everyone involved to support your goal by
purchasing an item *AND* selling at least one item!

Unless you live next door to one of our distribution facilities, when things start heating up this spring and summer, candy bar shipments are going to become difficult. Unless, of course, you've had great success selling chocolate soup in paper wrappers. Ick. Why do retail stores have candy bars in the summer? They don't have to worry about refrigerated shipping eating up all of their fundraising profits! This is an industry wide fundraising issue.
