Fundraising with wine.
We make it easy and profitable.
Fundraising for your charitable organisation, sporting club, kindergarten, school, corporate social club, or group can be a tough, unrewarding business. The everyday financial demands on people today are heavy and spare cash is exactly that - spare.
Modern fundraising initiatives need to be simple, cost-effective and generate high-level returns if they are to be successful. More importantly, they need to treat people as "consumers" rather than "donors". They need to tap into what products people consume on a regular basis and deliver savings and opportunities they could not encounter elsewhere.
Market research shows that the majority of New Zealand households buy and consume wine on a weekly basis so why not direct their expenditure to an affordable, quality product that is branded under your own personalised wine label and which delivers direct financial benefits to your cause?
How does it work?
These quality wines are produced by leading wineries throughout New Zealand and all products that are sold are covered by a full 100% money back guarantee and have been specially selected and blended for wide appeal. Here is a simple step by step guide to the process:
Option One:
- Use a wine from our range of wines under our house label Supporters
- We add your organization name to a drop down box on our web site (Includes shopping Cart)
- Place a banner featuring the supporter's wine on your organization's home page and link it to our Custom Website.
- Market the supporters wine label to supporters via emails, events and newsletters
- Supporters buy the wines online from our web site with the advantage of direct shipping.
AND OR
Option two:
- You choose from our comprehensive range which wines you wish to use
- We will assist you to design and produce your own wine label featuring your fundraiser logo, photo, art design or emblem, etc.
- You set the bottle price for the wine and how long you want to run the fundraiser (we recommend 4-6 weeks)
- Confirm dates - both for obtaining orders and for delivery.
- We produce a sales/order form for you to hand out to your members
- Distribute order forms, publicise your terrific opportunity, and wait for the interest to roll in.
- Will happily assist you at every stage of the process.
- Collect the order forms. Check payment options and other details.
- Return all order forms and other information to us.
- We label the wines you have chosen
- Allow us two weeks to process cheques and credit cards, and to prepare all your customers' orders.
- We have two options we can deliver all your wine at the chargeable rate per area to one delivery address (delivery to all rural areas may incur an extra delivery fee) or we can create a sellable rate that includes free delivery though this option can eat into your profit
Fundraising wine will supply you with an order spreadsheet and profit summary for your records
The Fundraiser receives a check at the end of the fundraising campaign for 100% of the retail profits……yes, 100%!
How profitable is it?
Even if you're fundraising group is not large, the dollar-for-dollar return on specialised wine sales is a proven earner that can outperform almost any other single fundraising initiative. Like all fundraising it depends entirely on how much effort you put in. While we do a lot of the background work, you need to enthuse your members to collect wine orders from as many people as possible. The amount of profit varies with different fundraisers, but we recommend a profit of $4.00 per bottle. Do the sums yourself! Selling 10 dozen bottles will make you around $500 profit. (Note: most fundraisers sell between 10 and 90 dozen.)
