Doesn’t it seem that as soon as the sun sets on Labor
Day we begin to see signs of autumn in the air? The cool
winds start to blow, the leaves gradually drop from the trees
and the schoolchildren we know and other acquaintances begin
turning up everywhere with their fundraising packets for
schools, sports teams, churches, clubs and organizations.
What do your sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and co-workers
have to sell? Candy, wrapping paper, cheesecakes, magazines,
discount coupon books and gift items are the most popular.
As a Flag Dealer have you ever thought when presented with
an order form and a pencil “Why don’t they sell
flag sets?” then made a few phone calls and realized
that its too late for this year or maybe the fundraising
team never thought of it, didn’t know how to go about
getting organized or didn’t realize that you could
be source for them.
Flag Sets are the ideal fundraiser. They’re calorie-free,
non-sectarian and won’t pile up un-read on the coffee
table. Many homeowners still do not have US flags on display;
many have old and faded flags. The ones that already have
flags in good shape would buy them as a gift items. Perhaps
custom banners could be more suitable for certain organizations.
Now is the time to begin your planning for the fall. Contact
the clubs and organizations in your community and find out
who the decision maker is. Many times the chairperson for
the committee is the same person every year and they don’t
want the hassle of making a change. You can overcome their
resistance by showing them how profitable selling flag sets
can be and make it even easier when you offer them the new
Annin dealer sales aid “Key to Successful Fundraising
with Flags” kit. You can offer a choice of American
flags sets or for even more profit, a custom flag set featuring
their team name or organization. This terrific package will
be available in September and includes Fundraising Tips,
Project Planning Guide, Press Releases, Order Forms and more.
Extend your flag-selling season into the fall with Annin’s
Fundraising program. Contact your Annin Sales Representative
