Welcome to Heartland Stores, your organization's fundraising solution!
Tired of turning your organization into a business six weeks out of every year? Tired of the product still waiting for pickup on the floor of your office? Are traditional fundraiser sales impossible for your organization? Bored of the same old wrapping paper and candy bars? Look no further!
Heartland Stores Fundraising understands your non-profit organization's need to raise money, and we understand the headaches and obstacles inherent in selling mountains of products for minimal income. Through our own experiences and hours upon hours of research, Heartland stores has identified the hurdles to running a great fundraiser sale, and we have eliminated them. We have developed a process in which all purchases are made on our website, paid for by credit card, and shipped directly to the buyer.
Simple. Smooth. Lucrative.
A few of the obstacles of traditional fundraiser sales:
- I hate collecting and organizing all of the orders! I was not hired to be a data entry clerk.
- The amount of money we collect never seems to match with the number of orders we receive. Is it lack of cash handling skills? Theft, maybe? Plus, there are invariably a few checks that bounce.
- Do I look like a warehouse worker? I wouldn't know how to turn on a forklift, let alone operate it! Now I have cases of product to disperse to a thousand buyers. Should I pull out all of my hair at once or a little at a time?
- It's just not safe to send an army of eight-year-olds to go door-to-door through the neighborhood or to stand on a street corner anymore, and most parents don't have hours to spend doing this with them.
- Unlike schools, churches, and youth sports leagues, my organization doesn't have a built-in sales force.
- Many web-based fundraising companies make it so hard to get help when we need it.
Fundraising, the Heartland Stores way:
- Since all of the sales are completed online, Heartland Stores will handle receiving all of the orders, collection payment, and shipping product directly to the buyer. When your fundraiser is completed, your organization will receive its portion of the proceeds.
- The ways to communicate your fundraiser are unlimited, but the Heartland Stores process allows easy, efficient, effective, and safe methods such as e-mail, web banners, direct mail, and posters.
- Many organizations, including schools, church youth groups, marching bands, and youth sports leagues have an army of energetic young people to do much of the selling. This is not the case for such organizations as community service organizations, political action groups, or any other charity. Since the Heartland Stores process is all online, you can communicate about the fundraiser by e-mail, by direct mail, or via a web banner to thousands of supporters in a matter of minutes. No more walking door-to-door, tackling shoppers outside the grocery store, or passing catalogs at work .
- You are not alone. Unlike many online businesses, Heartland Stores is represented by a local Fundraising Consultant, trained to help you raise money and dedicated to the success of the sale.
