A Lollipop Fundraiser: The Sweet Little Indulgence With The Serious Profits

By William Coleman


At some point in everyone's life will come a time when they will need or wish to raise money for a certain purpose. This can be for whatever reason, perhaps a relative gets ill, or your business is in trouble. What puts people off of doing fundraisers is they do not think they'll get enough to really make it worthwhile. Never think this. There are many ideas out there that will work when wanting to raise money. Some do incur large fees to put it together yes, but not all do. To do a successful fundraiser attempt to do something that everyone, off all ages and backgrounds will like. One idea that will be popular among everyone is a lollipops fundraiser.



This is not a nickname of any sort, it is exactly what it says, do a fundraiser which sells lollipops. This might perhaps seem just a little trivial but it could be a fantastic way of raising some extra cash.

Lollipops are available in big bags, some may be costly for this reason however basic flavored lollies will suffice, and these bags are actually affordable. You can sell these at very low prices and still generate a good profit margin. Remember to keep prices minimal to inspire more people to purchase them. Getting greedy and targeting a higher profit margin could have an adverse result.

There are many ways in which you can use the lollipops to represent your fundraising cause. For example if you were to do a breast cancer fundraiser you could choose to have pink lollipops. Lollipops also can sweeten the deal if you're trying to get people to be involved in a raffle.

This is such a versatile idea, when you are selling lollipops it is ideal for pretty much any event you could think of. Nonetheless, with certain fundraising causes it may be wise to put thought into if it would be appropriate to place a stall at a specific event.

You don't need to limit your fundraising cause to only one event. Don't think you can only go and raise money at a school fair, go to other events too such as markets, special events, local or school events and really maximize your profits.

Raising money is satisfying, especially when it is for something you value. Do not rule a lollipop fundraiser out as it is an easy way of raising money. Just think, for just one bag of lollipops you could potentially quickly quadruple your money.
