Safety All Around: Safety Products As Fundraisers

Need, practicality, and usefulness are three elements that can really boost fundraising product sales. When you show your customers that you are selling something that is truly helpful and needed in their homes and their lives, you grab their attention and their orders.

These elements also happen to be characteristic of safety products and so, safety product fundraisers have risen to the challenge of serving consumer need while building firm funding bases for groups and organizations.

Safety products as fundraisers are often hard for consumers to say no to because many times customers don't even realize their own need for safety products until they are presented with a brochure full of safety items they have neglected to stock or restock in their homes and automobiles.

Products For Sale In Safety Fundraisers

Safety fundraiser products offered for sale include a variety of items depending on the supply company and catalog chosen; among the more common offerings are:

* First aid kits for home and auto
* Boating and water sports first aid kits
* Automotive emergency kits
* Kitchen and safety fire extinguishers
* Reflectors and roadside emergency kits
* Emergency lights
* Child proofing safety items such as outlet covers

Obviously, the usefulness of such products is unmistakable. What's more, safety fundraisers are easy to run. The process consists of taking orders from a brochure or catalog, submitting to the company, and distributing once received.

Fundraising And Staying Safe

Organizing a safety product fundraiser is the ideal time to review safe selling and fundraising practices, although keeping sellers safe is of the utmost importance during any fundraising campaign.

Before sending young sellers off with safety fundraisers, review the following safe selling practices with all participants:

- No sellers should sell alone; always partner with a friend and use the 'buddy-system'
Never go inside the home of a potential buyer, no matter how friendly they seem (this includes time of product delivery).

- Do not carry large amounts of cash; ask buyers to pay by check when possible.

- Try to fulfill selling goals by selling to family and friends first.

- Be polite and courteous.

By reinforcing these selling safety tips, all safety fundraiser participants can have a safe fundraising experience. And by supplying family, friends, and neighbors with the safety products they need, your community will be a safer place to live and work, too.
