Otis Spunkmeyer recently announced the release of their new youth-centered incentive program for fundraisers. Motivating kids to sell products for fundraisers is a key component of a successful fundraising event. Selling frozen cookie dough and other bake-at-home favorites is an effective way elementary schools, youth athletics teams, and non-profit community organizations can raise money for critical program funds.

Driving a strong participation rate – that is, the proportion of kids that actually sell product for a group fundraiser – is the number one factor that can make the difference between a mediocre fundraiser and a successful event. If every child participates in selling, then schools and other organizations can achieve record-breaking fundraisers. All too often, however, incentive programs place unreasonable targets for students to achieve, and the prizes are often cheap and breakable.
“Having gone through fundraising with my own children, I know how important it is to keep children as well as parents motivated and excited about a cookie dough fundraiser,” said Liz Rayo, Director of Marketing for Otis Spunkmeyer Fundraising. “With achievable goal levels and in-demand prizes, this fundraising incentive program is a great fundraising idea for schools, youth athletic teams, dance studios, and other youth organizations needing to raise money. The incentives work great across a range of seller age levels and promote an active lifestyle.”
Already, the program is proving to be popular with students participating in school fundraising. It offers active wear and fitness related items that kids and parents can use when engaging in outdoor and physical activities. The cumulative nature of the program allows sellers to earn up to four cool prizes for meeting specific fundraising sales hurdles. The incentive plan is free to organizations holding a cookie dough fundraiser with Otis Spunkmeyer.
