What to expect
Preplan the event
Planning Meeting!! The meeting takes roughly 20 minutes to review important dates, set goals, assign tasks and cover the prizes.
Product Delivery
Chocolate will arrive a few days prior to our start kickoff. During our planning meeting we’ll pick the best place to store the product. 75˚ or less. Most shipments will arrive on a pallet, if you have double door access we can remove the center post and wheel the order into the storage location.
The Kickoff (Day 1)
Presentations are crucial in both educating and motivating the participants. We’ll cover the do’s and don’ts of a chocolate sale will help safeguard you from any avoidable errors. We can do an in-person kickoff or virtual without disrupting your normal schedule.
During the Fundraiser (2 weeks)
The day after our kickoff kids will be checking out cases. You’ll be busy checking out cases using a spreadsheet, and collecting money from sold cases. After the first week, things will lighten up a great deal. Cash and checks should be turned into the school and submitted to your financial institution. It is very important to keep good records of who has a case checked out.
End of Sale (Last day)
At the end of the sale we’ll use the checkout spreadsheet to collect funds from students with cases still checked out. Once all funds have been collected, and deposited, report all unopened cases to your fundraising rep. Unopened cases can be removed from from invoice and returned to the rep within 45 days of delivery.
