What will these funds achieve? Be specific: new sports equipment, school trips, community projects, or special events. Clear goals motivate supporters and increase generosity.

3. Choose Your Products

Decide whether you'll sell family pies, hot cross buns (available January-March), or both. Offering well-loved products attracts a wide audience and maximises your sales potential.

4. Launch with Enthusiasm

Promote through school newsletters, social media, and word of mouth. Highlight the trusted quality, the generous margins, and the local connection. Emphasise how purchasing supports both your cause and a local business.

5. Streamline Order Collection

Set up clear systems for collecting orders and payments. Accept cash, bank transfers, and cheques. Keep detailed records of all orders and payments to ensure smooth distribution when products arrive.

6. Build Momentum

Share progress updates regularly. "We're halfway to our goal!" creates excitement. Consider sharing serving suggestions or pairing ideas to maintain engagement throughout your campaign.

7. Finalise Efficiently

Once orders are complete, submit your final order to Dough Boys Bakery. They'll prepare your products for delivery, ensuring everything is ready for distribution to your supporters.

8. Distribute with Care

When products arrive, organise a collection day or arrange deliveries. Have volunteers ready to help. Consider offering delivery for larger orders to increase convenience and sales.

Pro Tips for Maximum Success

• Leverage Trust: Emphasise the thousands of pies distributed weekly. Trusted quality creates immediate confidence and removes purchase barriers.
• Time Your Campaign: Consider timing hot cross bun fundraisers for January-March when they're seasonally relevant. Seasonal timing increases urgency and sales.
• Emphasise Value: Highlight the discounted rates and generous margins. Value proposition drives purchases, especially when combined with trusted quality.
• Create Variety: If offering both products, create bundles or variety packs. Variety increases average order size and makes decision-making easier.
• Leverage Local Pride: Emphasise the local production and support for New Zealand businesses. Local connection creates emotional resonance.
• Create Urgency: Set clear order deadlines and remind supporters regularly. Limited-time opportunities create action and prevent procrastination.

Why Trusted Brand Fundraisers Work

Trusted brand fundraisers succeed because they remove risk. When supporters see products they already know and trust, they purchase with confidence. The familiarity, generous margins, and local connection create a compelling proposition that makes selling easier and increases average order values.

The year-round availability (plus seasonal options) also provides flexibility, allowing you to time your fundraiser for maximum impact. It's fundraising that feels reliable, valuable, and rewarding for everyone involved.
