Does a product fundraising sale require door-to-door solicitation?
Not necessarily. It can depend on the product but it generally depends on your participants and their spheres of influence. A sphere of influence are those people directly connected to you, friends, family, co-workers or anyone that you are in contact with on a regular basis. By simply asking your sphere, you can often get the sales you need to have a successful fundraiser.
Your products also play a large roll. If you are having a popcorn fundraiser, cookie dough fundraiser, make sure the products are of the highest quality, you will be much more likely to sell more than one to each person within your sphere.

For some people, product fundraising has mistakenly become synonymous with the term “door-to-door sales.” In fact, most product fundraising sales are made to parents, family members, friends and close neighbors. A successful product fundraising drive does not require volunteers – young or old – to canvass neighborhoods. Parents are very involved with these programs, often soliciting support from co-workers.
