Cookie Dough Fundraiser: Offer Incentives To Your Volunteers

When people work on something they usually think of the main reason why they’re doing such a thing. When they finish doing a little contemplating, they will then realize the main purpose behind their actions. This is where motivation steps in. If people are not strongly motivated to do something, they won’t exert their best efforts. However, if they are really eager and interested on that particular thing, you won’t see a single sign of fatigue on their faces. You need to have motivation within your cookie dough fundraiser group if you want this to work out really well.

Even though telling your volunteers that you’ll be able to raise a really good amount of money if they work really hard to make your cookie dough fundraiser a really successful one, offering them incentives in the form of prize award programs is way more effective in getting them really pumped up. By telling your volunteers that they’ll have a shot at getting really cool prizes if they strive hard on doing their assigned tasks, you will get them into a frenzy of excitement. This in turn will allow you to boost your profits later on. Ask your volunteers what would really get them pumped up and try to be as creative as possible.

There different types of prizes and incentives. First are intangible prizes. These refer to things that have no cash value but are really effective when it comes to motivating volunteers and serving as a good source of entertainment. Examples of intangible prizes include allowing your volunteers to throw cream pies at the leaders of your fundraiser if you get to reach your fundraising goal; letting your school principal lie and sleep on the floor; and letting your volunteers to have an activity that they really want to do. If you choose to offer the last one, be sure to allow your volunteers to go beyond the usual activities that they have been doing in your previous fundraising campaigns.

Next to intangible prizes are raffles. In here, you’ll be offering raffle tickets to your sales volunteers for every minimum number of sales that they get to generate. For example, for every 12 products sold or for every $100 that your sales volunteers get to generate during their product sales campaign, they get to own one raffle ticket. This means that, the more products that they sell out to customers, the more raffle tickets they get to own and the greater their chances at winning really cool prizes. Be sure to feature really interesting prizes so that your sales volunteers will really be energized to produce lots of sales for you.

Lastly, you can also offer a grand prize for your fundraising group’s top seller or the person who gets to bag in the largest number of sales at the end your sales campaign. You can offer a bike, movie tickets, a laptop, and other catchy prizes. When you offer prizes, be sure that you don’t go overboard by buying things that your group can’t afford.
