Here are a few practical tips to make your next cookie dough fundraiser a success!
Reach Out to Local Businesses
One of the best ways to reach the community is by going to places that the greater community frequents. Reach out to local businesses and ask if you can set up a selling table outside of their establishment. Be creative and brainstorm places that people visit often or drive past often. Grocery stores, gas stations, downtown restaurants, and coffee shops, or even public parks. Make sure that whenever you set up you have the proper permission to do so.
Offer Samples
One of the best ways to get people to buy cookie dough is to let them try the cookies! Before you set up somewhere, prepare by baking some of the dough so that people are able to taste test them! Not only will having samples attract people to you but it will get them hooked! Make sure to have different flavor options so that prospective buyers can taste test. By using this tactic, people are more likely to purchase since there is an element of trust that is built!
Maximize Personal Connections
Reaching high volumes of people will ultimately increase the number of sales you are able to make. That being said, encourage your group members to use their personal connections. Take cookie dough orders from friends, family, and co-workers. Also, consider recruiting personal connections to help sell dough to everyone they know as well!
