Ever wondered why some elementary school fundraisers don’t get that much attention, no matter how exceptional their concept may be? Well, one reason is publicity. Not everyone would know you have a fundraising project, unless you do an actual promotion on it. You have to let as many people as you can know that you are initiating a fundraising project and that you need their support.
To increase your chances on getting higher revenues for your elementary school fundraisers, you have to invest on its advertising strategy. I know it may cost pretty much but it’s worth every penny on the long run. And besides, not many would want to join in an activity wherein they don’t know what to expect. Introduce to them a bit about your fundraising effort, especially your cause, but leave some points unsaid so that their curiosity would be roused and to surprise them by the time they get to witness your free fundraising sites project. The best way to do that is with the help of a press release. Keep in mind though, that what you should announce to the people is not the whole event but the cause that drove you in engaging it. The cause should be good enough to make it newsworthy to the majority. If your cause doesn’t touch the people’s heart, expect it that not much people would be going to your event. The main essence of advertising your elementary school fundraiser is to invite in plenty of supporters for your cause. The media enjoy stories that they know can attract a lot of people’s attention, so never forget to make your press release an interesting one. If possible, add some pictures related to your fundraising project. We all know that a picture speaks a thousand words and this will surely increase the number customers waiting in line to go to your fundraising event.
If you’re not satisfied with a simple press release and require a greater amount of audience, why not try promoting it through the internet. We are in an era where almost everyone has an access to the Internet. In this way, you have a whole lot of opportunity to ask netizens to support you and you don’t have to pay that much money and effort to put online advertisements. But of course, having your own website is better since this is a great place for you to acquire some sponsors, volunteers that want to help out, draw attention to your valuable merchandise, other events, and even services that you provide. If you don’t have your own website, you can still publicize your fundraising project through social networking sites that you have signed in to or other sites that allow advertising. Make sure also to send some e-mails to your friends and families regarding your fundraising event, like links that lead to your website.
