Ladies:


I need some help. I am in the process of signing up my first fundraiser. It is an organization- Animal rescue.
The lady I am organizing it with, emailed me back and only wants to do ONE SCENT.


Do you think that is a good idea to let them do that and are we allowed to do that?


Thanks.

Hi Edie,
Personally, I would encourage her to offer at least 6, and hopefully 10 or 12! I would just explain that people like to choose and it willreally benefit theorganizationto do so. You want them to have the most successful fundraiser possible and I'm sure they want the same!

Goodluck!

Hi Edie,

I'm with Deb on offering multiple scents but ifshe continues to insist on one scent, why not use the apple pies? I heard John and Lise MacFadden talk aboutdoing a fundraiser usingonly the apple pies. Just a thought.

One scent would really eliminate those who like choices. What about the simmer pot and their choice of scent on a mia melt?

Or maybe the Apple Pie and Sweet Orange and Chili Pepper?


Has she seen and smelled these wonderful products? I think that she's really limiting the success that her organization could have by just offering one.
