Tips For A Successful Candle Fundraiser

Fundraising With Gourmet Candles

We Make Scents - You Make Dollars!

Every organization wants to choose successful fundraisers for their organization. In an effort to help you understand the power of our Candle Fundraising we want to answer some of the most asked questions. We know that once you understand the benefits to our unique program and product you will be excited about offering our naturally safe, clean burning candles to everyone you know!

Will Fundraising with Gourmet Candles be as good as the gift-wrap, chocolates, or other items we have been selling in the past?

There are many factors that contribute to successful fundraisers which make it impossible to guarantee success in any fundraising program. However, Candle Fundraising Programs have been as successful, if not more so, than most of the products sold today.

Can we be successful if we only have a small organization?

Successful fundraisers are not dependent upon the amount of members in your organization. We have seen small groups and even individuals who have sold incredible amounts of candles for fundraising.

Do many people buy candles?

It would be impossible to know just how many people buy candles, but we do know that on the average, 85% of all families buy candles at least once a year.

Are Gourmet Candles too expensive as fundraising products?

Our candles have value. They are made using a proprietary formula of natural vegetable waxes. This combination of wax burns clean and is practically soot free. If you spill it you can clean it up with hot soapy water! They are priced in the same range as many other candles (which already have a great track record for fundraising).

Why is the "QUALITY" of Gourmet Candles so important?

We constantly search and hand-select fragrance oils from around the world so that our candle gives off a pleasing scent when it burns. If it is an apple scented candle it will smell like apples, not perfume. We take immense pride in our process, which assures that every aspect of our candle is done with personal pride and we truly believe that the key to having a long-term relationship with your fundraising organization and their customer base is to offer a candle that has no peers!

If we sell Candles two years in a row, will the second year be as successful as the first?

Past experience shows that the second year is usually MORE successful because people are aware of the quality and value of our candles and buy more than they did the year before.
