Here are some of the things you can do in order to make you're your fundraising events ideas will succeed:
Motivation
Properly motivate your manpower, especially if your staff is mainly composed of volunteers (meaning, you are not going to pay them). Motivate them by emphasizing the progress and the result of your fundraiser event. Set up a fundraising thermometer which can be downloaded online, for example. This can serve as a gauge of your progress-whether your fundraising event is succeeding or failing. Nonetheless, it will not fail to motivate your staff to work harder. You should also make them feel appreciated-give them a small honorarium if you can, or even a small token, especially if they are volunteering. This way, they will readily offer their services the next time you have a fundraising event.
Involvement
Be present at the fundraising event-and make your presence be felt by important people. If you can, talk to important people or those who can potentially donate significantly for your organization or your cause. This also makes them feel appreciated, since you are exerting effort to build a relationship with them.
Communication
And in line with the previous item, you should keep in touch with those who supported your fundraising event-from the volunteers to the donors. This way, they will never forget, and they will easily be within reach once you need their help again.
Competition
It is a good idea to research about the fundraiser events of other groups. However, try not to blatantly imitate their fundraising events ideas. Use their ideas and their concepts and give it your own special twist so it will become your own. Copying fundraising events ideas might attract the attention of people who are familiar with the fundraising event of the other group. Instead of helping your cause, they might mock your efforts.
Practicality
Make sure the products and service you will offer in the fundraising event is of good quality. This will ensure that many people will support your endeavor, and that they will continue to support your fundraising events in the future. Anything factor in your event that has bad quality can affect your chances to succeed.
Seizing Opportunities
Maximize the opportunity. For example, you are holding a benefit dinner fundraiser event. During the dinner, why not sell fundraising items to increase your revenue? This is neither awkward nor ill-placed; your supporters will understand your efforts as long as it is done properly.
One Word... Fun!
Lastly, make the fundraising event as lively as possible. This is so everyone will be encouraged to participate in the fundraising event.
Follow these simple guidelines and your fundraising event is sure to be a fun and profitable experience.
