Maximizing Your Fundraising Success
While Pizza 73 provides comprehensive support and resources, your organization's engagement and promotion efforts significantly impact fundraising results. These proven strategies help maximize participation and earnings from your campaign.
Build Momentum Early
Start promoting your fundraising campaign at least two weeks before launch. Create anticipation through teaser posts, countdown graphics, and early announcements. The more awareness you build before your official start date, the stronger your initial participation will be. Early momentum creates excitement that carries throughout your entire campaign period.
Engage Multiple Communication Channels
Don't rely on a single promotion method. Successful campaigns use diverse communication channels to reach supporters where they're most active. Combine email newsletters, social media posts, text message reminders, printed flyers, in-person announcements, and website updates. Each channel reaches different segments of your community, and repetition across multiple platforms reinforces your message.
Communication Best Practices
- Post on social media 3-4 times per week
- Send email reminders every 5-7 days
- Share progress updates and milestones
- Feature supporter testimonials and photos
- Create urgency with countdown reminders
- Thank participants publicly and often
Leverage Personal Connections
Personal outreach from team members, students, or organization representatives significantly increases participation. Encourage your members to personally invite friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers to support the fundraiser. Personal invitations convert at much higher rates than general announcements because they create accountability and demonstrate individual commitment to the cause.
Create Friendly Competition
Internal competition drives engagement and results. For schools, create classroom competitions with prizes for highest participation. Sports teams can compete between age groups or divisions. Track and publicly share standings to maintain excitement. Recognition and friendly rivalry motivate supporters to increase their involvement and encourage others to participate.
Celebrate Milestones Publicly
Share progress updates regularly and celebrate when you reach fundraising milestones. Post photos of supporters enjoying Pizza 73, share thank-you messages, and highlight how close you are to your goal. Public celebration creates positive momentum, encourages continued participation, and demonstrates the real impact of community support. Success breeds more success as people want to be part of a winning campaign.
Make Ordering Easy
Remove all barriers to participation by making the ordering process as simple as possible. Always include your custom ordering link in every communication. Provide clear, step-by-step instructions for first-time users. Offer to help supporters who aren't comfortable with online ordering. The easier you make it to participate, the higher your participation rate will be.
Express Genuine Gratitude
Thank every supporter personally when possible, and express gratitude publicly throughout your campaign. Recognition matters to people, and showing appreciation encourages repeat participation. Share supporter stories, post thank-you messages on social media, and acknowledge top supporters. Gratitude builds stronger community connections and increases the likelihood of future support for your organization.
