3 Ways to Motivate Your Students During a Fundraiser

Fundraisers are a great way for student organizations to raise money for new equipment, trips and more. Once you have decided on the type of fundraiser you're going to hold, you'll need to figure out how to get your students motivated to sell. In today's blog, Harmison's Hometown Fundraising offers 3 ways to motivate your students during a fundraiser:

1. Host a Pre-Party.

In order for a fundraiser to be successful, the students need to be excited about it. One great way to create that excitement is to host a pre-party or a launch party. At the party, students will be introduced to the fundraiser and the expectations/goals will be addressed. Make sure there are snacks and games to keep them entertained. Be sure to talk about what they will get out of the fundraiser and why its important to get out there and sell, sell, sell!

2. Offer Incentives. 

One of the best ways to motivate students to do something is to offer incentives. Students want to know what they will get out of participating in the fundraiser. Sometimes the new sports equipment or getting to go on a trip in the future isn't enough motivation. Consider offering physical prizes that students can earn based upon their sales. Whether you choose to purchase small prizes on your own or use one of our prize brochures.

3. Use Progress Charts.

Another way to motivate students is to set goals and monitor the progress towards achieving those goals. How much money is needed for the fundraiser to be successful? Is there a certain amount of money needed to purchase new equipment? What is the price per person needed to go on the upcoming trip? Use charts that you can fill in to show how much money you've raised so far and how much more is needed. Many students are visual learners, and using visual aids is a great way to keep them motivated.
