One of the best ways to increase sales of carwash fundraisers and to make more money for your nonprofit youth group, soccer team or high school band is to sell presale tickets. Let me tell you why; you see, if you have 20 people in your group and each person sells 20 tickets at five dollars each and that is $100 per person times 20 which equals $2000 and the best part of this equation is you have not even washed a car yet.
Even better 80% percent of the people who buy carwash tickets historically do not show up the day of the event to get their car washed. Can you see why this strategy works so well and why you should sell presale carwash tickets? I recommend that you print carwash fundraiser presale tickets in packages of 10.
You can you give one package to each student and tell them to sell the tickets and bring you back the money. When they do you give them the second package of 10 but in the second package you have two extra and when they sell those two extra tickets at the end of the pack they can keep the money.
Now then who can print the tickets? I recommend you talk with a local print shop and let them advertise in the back of each ticket and see if they will not print them for free. This is a good strategy and after doing hundreds of carwash fundraisers this way we have never had a problem getting free tickets printed. Please consider this in 2006.
