Smens or scented pencils are considered as excellent fundraising products because they are really unique as compared to other products that have been used or offered in thousands of elementary school fundraisers already. Even though the profitability of smencils are really great, you still need to plan things out well so that you can make your campaign a huge success with these as your products.

The first thing that you can do to make your smens fundraiser really successful is to get good volunteers. The people whom you will be working with will have a huge impact on the success rates of your fundraising campaign as they will serve as an important ingredient that will help you start the latter. Your volunteers should be hardworking and they should be willing to make sacrifices. By getting volunteers that are dedicated, you can ascertain that you will have members who will be willing to spend long hours just so you can reach the goals and objectives that you have set. When you get to gather the number of volunteers that you need for your fundraising campaign, be sure to communicate with them well.

One of the best ways for you to do this is through conducting meetings and inviting or encouraging them to attend so that they can give out their opinions or suggestions to the group. By doing this, you will let your members know that they are considered as an important part of the group and that their suggestions are considered vital to the success of the fundraiser. In addition to this, allowing and encouraging your volunteers to attend your meetings will enable you to get all of them on the same page. During the meetings, you can orient each of your members about the reasons why you need to raise money in the first place; the amount of money that you need to raise; and the ways on how you can effectively sell out your products. Moreover, be sure to inform them of the starting and ending dates of your campaign. Lastly, use your meetings to inform your members of the different tasks that they need to carry out.

Next, work on you sales script and make sure that it is as compelling as possible. Having a good sales script is similar to having a tasty bait when you are out fishing in the sense that this will serve as the appeal that will allow you to convince your customers to give you the sales that you need to raise funds. When you make your sales script, be sure to include the reason why you need to raise money; where the money will be used on; and the people who will be benefiting from the project that you will be spending the money on. For instance, if you plan on raising money to buy new classroom equipment for your school, you can use this as the reason behind your campaign and tell your customers that the students in your school will benefit from this if you get the chance to raise the money that you need.
