There are all kinds of ways to raise money for a school or non-profit organization. This article will be aimed primarily at school groups and how they might meet their school's fundraising needs.

Of course there are almost as many ways to do school fundraising as there are people. However, not all of those methods are as profitable as some might believe. So when you narrow down your list to "good and effective" fundraisers you end up with a managable list of options. Smencils would make that list.

Smencils are a bit different than the traditional $1.00 Candy Bars that have been sold in fundraising for so many years. There are aspects of it that make for a different reaction from students and parents alike. For one thing they are not fattening! Actually, that is a big plus in today's world. The other is that because they are made of recycled newspaper they are a Green Product. Students are bombarded everyday about this kind of thing and actually get excited that they can now write without killing another tree!

Of course the best and most exciting part of Smencils is that they smell. There must be something about all these factors combined that bring an emotional response from students and parents alike. I can not explain it, but I can simple tell you it is there. This can be noted by the fact that you can go onto Youtube today and do a search for Smencils and you will see student made videos about Smencils! I have been fundraising since 1986 and have never seen anything like this before. From elementary age students to high schoolers, it seems Smencils are making an impact that's fun and profitable.

It is no wonder that groups that sell Smencils, sell out of them quickly. Many students will buy and collect all of the flavors that are available.

With that said, let's get to fundraising with Smencils. The first thing you need to do is to decide houw much money you need to raise and decide how much of that goal you intend to raise with your Smencil fundraising. The best way to do this is to simply divide how much you need to make in profit by $25.00 and come up with the number of buckets of 50 smencils that you need to sell to hit that goal. Divide that number by the number of students or members of your group to make sure that you don't over order. I always recommend that you under order. If sales are going strong simply order some more. They only take at most 5 days to get delivered to your school. Never order more than about 3 buckets (150) of smencils per seller.

Typically, a student can sell a bucket of Smencils in one day at school. Many students like to buy one of every flavor. What student wouldn't want a pencil that breaks the boredom of everyday life at school?

Aim Fundraising has been helping non-profit groups raise money since 1986. There have been lots of fundraising products come and go over the years, but few have had the "splash" that Smencils are having. Find out how you can use Smencils in your group's fundraising plan.
