Tupperware Fundraiser - School-wide

A school-wide Tupperware fundraiser is a big event. It can raise thousands of dollars for you school with much less effort than that involved in many fundraisers.

I Don’t Sell Tupperware

Let me say right here that I am not a Tupperware dealer, and will not gain at all if your school has a Tupperware fundraiser. I was a career educator before retirement, however, and served as school principal in four different schools - teachers in more than that. I know how important a fundraiser can be, and I know how wonderful it is to find a good fundraiser.

Tupperware Fundraisers Are Good

Tupperware fundraisers are good. They are well-organized by the company, no matter how disorganized your local team may be. They are easy to run, and they reward you with 40 percent profit. If you get in on one of their specials, you may even garner 45 percent profit.

School-wide Tupperware Fundraisers

Tupperware fundraisers that are school-wide have an advantage over other Tupperware fundraisers. For one thing, they allow you to choose between the exclusive fundraising catalog and the full line catalog. The full line catalog gives you a much greater selection of products to sell, but you miss out on the exclusive products. Those who already own Tupperware may be less interested in the non-exclusive products. There are other differences, too, between a Tupperware fundraiser that uses the full line catalog and one that uses the exclusive Fundraiser catalog. Both are excellent fundraisers, but you need to go into it with your eyes open.

Be Sure Your School Thinks Wisely

Now that you know you want to have a Tupperware fundraiser, consider the differences between the two plans.

* Profit: Using the Tupperware fundraiser catalog will give you 40 percent profit. The other catalog is limited to 25 percent profit

* Shipping: The Tupperware fundraiser catalog entitles you to free shipping if sales total $400 or more. Otherwise, you pay 7 percent shipping. The other catalog requires a straight 10 percent shipping.

* Sales Tax: Tupperware fundraiser catalog sales are tax exempt if you are a non-profit school. Users of the other catalog must collect all sales tax, even if you are a tax exempt school.

* Product Selection: The full line catalog offers all products and specials. The Tupperware fundraiser catalog has very limited selection. You should visit Tupperware and view it Online before deciding whether to use it.

* Cost of Materials: With either catalog, you pay a small deposit for materials. With the full line catalog, you will also pay 30 cents per catalog. This can be a substantial amount if you will have many people gathering orders.

* Product Prices: This is the SECRET reason you can earn 40 percent and free shipping by using the Tupperware fundraiser catalog. Prices in the Tupperware fundraiser catalog are listed at 30 to 40 percent higher than retail prices in the other catalog.

Time to Choose

Tupperware fundraiser catalogs normally do well for school-wide fundraisers in areas of higher income. The full line catalog is better for school-wide fundraisers in communities of average income households.

I believe Tupperware fundraisers are an excellent way for most schools to raise money. The program is well organized. The products are durable and of high quality.
