We have been getting a lot of requests for multipleevents this year – Halloween Drawings, XmasParties, Thanksgiving celebrations, Fall Balls, SkiSprees – looks like good fundraising never quits.And of course youdon’t need a drawingto raise funds:Pancake Breakfasts,Fall Socials – they allwork, and sometimesbetter than prizes because
you can presell tickets soyou always know how much money you haveavailable! Musical events and drama performancesalso work well. One of the users of TM14promotes musical events all over the southeastStates, and he has been printing his own tickets withour software for years.Tours and bus trips work the same way – presell thetickets and know exactly how much money you haveto work with. You have zero risk, and you have themoney in the bank before you spend a dime!So before you spend a lot of money in advance,consider using TM14 this year. Your ticket costcan be as low as three cents, and rarely more thanfive cents! What’s the catch? There really isn’t any.You can even use our software free if you are aregistered non-profit organization.Over 30,000 churches, schools and non-profits havefound it makes a lot of sense … take a look atwww.printbox.com or call our legendary tech supportstaff to help you get started.Happy Fundraising!- The Ticket People at PrintBox: 1 773 734-6858

Good Fundraising Never Quits!

RESONANCE
Let's face it -- most of the people who feel as you do will never hear about your group ... there is just too much competition for their attention.
But just as charity begins at home, so must your message. First, conduct a reality check amongst your core group -- ask each other 'why are we together?', 'what is our core message?', 'how will that appeal to others?'.
Like ripples in a pond, the closer you are to your core group, the more powerful will be the message.
Yet sympathetic vibrations can carry your message far beyond your geographical location ... if you are operating a shelter for stray animals, keep in mind that in 2007 US pet lovers spent $45.12 billion for cat and dog food. And for every pet owner, there are 100 pet lovers (that is why every child's bed is piled high with stuffed animals).
So your message can travel a long way -- even internationally -- based upon the principle of 'Resonance'.
To tap that resource, you need to apply the same merchandising techniques used by consumer marketing people -- strong graphics, simple message, repetition, repetition, repetition.
What bells does your message ring?
