1.  Planning

Plan your fundraiser when people will be looking for the items your selling.   Best times for our goodies are before Easter, School Holidays and especially before Christmas. 

  Register!  

Register by calling or emailing our office no more than 2 weeks before you begin your fundraiser  Registration is free.  We need to register your group and lock in the current prices.

•    Click here Register          when the email message box appears on the screen - type in your group name, address, contact name and daytime contact telephone number.  One of our staff will contact you to confirm all details

       Discounts will not apply to unregistered fundraisers

This is important as you need to have the current prices before starting your fundraiser.  As most of our products are commoditites, their prices and our pricelists can change at any time.  It is important to register & lock in your pricing no more than 2 weeks before you start your fundraiser.  This ensures that the prices you use are the most current and will remain unchanged for the duration of your fundraiser.

Unregistered fundraisers will be charged at the list price current at the time of processing the order and discounts will not apply.

2.  Keep it simple & fast 

 We recommend you run your fundraiser over 2 weeks - this will ensure that your items are delivered to your customers fast.  This will encourage them to purchase this way in the future and encourage the quick return of orders from your students/members.

3.  Good old Pie Drive vs Convenience

The old "Pie Drive" method works best for most groups as it allows you to add some extra $'s on to each item.   However, some groups simply don't have the time or the manpower to collate and sort all the orders out when they come, so we have accommodated both in our fundraising.

Pie Drive

You place one order using our order form contained in the QNF Fundraiser Forms.  This method offers a 7.5% discount (excluding freight) for all stock ordered.  You check off all the stock when you receive it before distributing your orders and all should be sweet.

This system involves the selection of up to 25 lines from our list of products.   We suggest that you price your items up to the nearest dollar or 50 cents to avoid vast amounts of change being required when students/members are collecting their orders. 

e.g.  If you select Snakes 1kg - list price is say $6.25.  You can round your selling price up to either $6.50 or $7.00 depending how much you would like to make on each item.  This pricing structure is an issue for your commitee to decide. If your order is being transported, you can make allowances per kg for freight in the price of each kg plus a little extra - it all depends what your committee decides to do.     Send order forms with your students/members to collect orders from the community.  Enter all the returned orders into the tally sheet provided  in the QNF Fundraiser Froms and forward us your total order.

Advantages:   Allowance or margin added to our list price increases the amount of money that is able to be raised by one drive.  7.5% discount

Disadvantages:  Limited selection of products available for offer to buyers.

Separate Orders for everyone                   

Using this method, the group photocopies the registered price list and you then distribute these to your buyers.  The buyers return their completed order forms to your nominated co-ordinator who will then forward these by fax or by mail to our office with a consolidated order notice. Each individual order must have a daytime contact telephone number of the buyer (just in case we may have a problem with their order or any out of stocks etc), to avoid any unnecessary delays in completion.

4.  Lead time - 14 days from placing your order to shipment

Please allow 14 days days from placing your order - to us to shipping or delivering your order. 

  This means it takes 2 weeks from when you place your order with us to when it will be delivered or shipped via Transport/Australia Post by our office.  This applies to all fundraisers without exception.

Please ensure that if you are intending to use this service around Christmas please plan to get your orders in as early as possible to avoid any out of stocks.    

Fundraising Order Deadlines for 2008:

5. Special requests & additions to orders

We try our best to accommodate most requests, however we are not always able to do so - especially additions and withdrawals from orders.

Once your order is packed we are unable to make any further additions or take any items from your order.  Any additions will be treated as a separate order and subject to minimum order delivery criteria i.e. $70.00 for free delivery for local delivery suburbs only.  - So please make sure you have all your items listed when you place your order.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

6.  Delivery & Payments

All fundraisers come with invoices for all stock delivered.  Before distributing your orders, we recommend that you count all items received before you begin to ensure that all are received.  We number and document every item in a fundraiser, what box it is packed in etc, so if there is a discrepancy, we need to know whilst it is all together as delivered.

Payments for fundraisers are all Cash on Delivery or by Credit Card orDirect Deposit prior to delivery.  Cheques accepted only via special arrangement with management.  Please check with our office for further information.  Orders shipped via Transport/Australia Post must be prepaid before shipment is made either via Credit Card or Direct Deposit.  Paypal is not accepted on fundraising orders.  We do not run accounts for customers for fundraising activities.
