5. Streamline Order Collection

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

Pro Tips for Maximum Success

  • Leverage Regional Reputation: Emphasise Marlow Pies' status as a South Island household favourite. Regional recognition creates immediate trust and removes purchase barriers.
  • Emphasise Convenience: Highlight the blast-frozen format and how easy it is for families to stock up and enjoy at home. Convenience drives purchases and creates practical value.
  • Leverage Track Record: Emphasise the long history of helping southern communities raise funds. Proven success creates confidence and removes risk.
  • Create Variety Displays: If possible, showcase different pie varieties at school events. Visual variety drives impulse purchases and increases average order size.
  • Emphasise Value: Highlight the affordable pricing and high profit potential. Value proposition drives purchases, especially when combined with trusted quality.
  • Create Urgency: Set clear order deadlines and remind supporters regularly. Limited-time opportunities create action and prevent procrastination.

Why Regional Favourite Fundraisers Work

Regional favourite fundraisers succeed because they remove risk. When supporters see products they already know and trust, they purchase with confidence. The household favourite status, proven track record, and convenient format create a compelling proposition that makes selling easier and increases average order values.

The affordable pricing and high profit potential also ensure healthy margins while remaining accessible to supporters. It's fundraising that feels reliable, valuable, and rewarding for everyone involved.
