Steps to a great fundraiser

Step 1
Review all of the information on the Fit for Champions website.

Step 2
After reviewing the website, we recommend that you call us toll free at 1-888-FIT-FOR-U or 740-942-9000 to discuss the details.
We will discuss the following:

• Type of group (sport, youth, high school, grade school, etc.)
• Team/Group colors and mascots
• Number of people participating in the fundraiser
• The products you want to include in your custom brochure - we recommend reviewing the sample brochures and apparel catalog for ideas
• The designs would you like to offer - we recommend reviewing the sample brochures and for ideas which can be modified for your group. Also, for sports groups, we recommend offering generic designs in addition to sport specific designs. This leads to greater sales.

Step 3
After the initial conversation, we will prepare up to 12 designs for your review. In most cases, you may select up to 4 of the designs to be included in your brochure. After we receive your selection of designs and products you want to include, we will create your custom brochure for your review. There are no minimums. All pricing in the brochure is determined by you. We will provide you with your cost, and you determine the amount of profit by determining the sales price.

Step 4
After you approve the brochure design, we will send you one free brochure per player, coaches/group leaders or persons participating in the fundraiser. Additional brochures are available for a nominal fee. The ending date is listed in the brochure and is typically 2-3 weeks from start to finish.

Step 5
Hand out the brochures and start selling. We recommend that the money be collected as the orders are taken.

Step 6
Collect the money and brochures from your members. We recommend that you make a photocopy of each order form for your records. Mail us the order forms and 50% of the total amount you collected. There is no need for you to count or tally the orders. We do that all that work for you. Each order is entered into our computer system. This enables us to provide you with a detailed invoice, detailed sales figures for each seller and a sticker that is placed on each item with the buyer and seller's name and complete description of the item.

Step 7
We will prepare your order and have ready to ship to you within 2-3 weeks. All orders are sorted by seller, bagged and ready to hand out. Your remaining balance is due on receipt of your order.
