Beef jerky as fundraiser old idea





You Could Try Selling Chocolate!
There are all kinds of chocolate bars and chocolate candy being sold in schools for fundraising. Hmm, but how do you get the kiddos to keep them cold so they don’t melt by the time someone buys them? They can be squashed and become a mess, plus melt or get damaged in shipping and delivery, not to mention the up-front cost to buy them ahead of time. If you don’t sell all of them what are you going to do with all that chocolate that was pre-ordered and unsold? Jerky is so much easier for kids to sell in schools and a much healthier high protein energy snack.

You Could Try Selling Cookie Dough
But again you run into the problem of getting all orders delivered quickly or keeping it all stored in a freezer, and forget about selling to relatives out of town! These fundraisers, just like Pizza fundraisers are hard to deliver and keep refrigerated and they take a lot of work for both sponsors and kids. Once again jerky is low maintenance. Let the school sponsor know this is an easy turnkey operation and does not have the problems associated with it that candy and food sales have. A jerky sale does not require all this extra work for sponsors or students or parent helpers.

How About A T-Shirt Fundraiser
Sporting your individual logo for your group? Doesn’t everyone love ANOTHER t-shirt that will be worn once before being forgotten? Plus there are the size issues and most of these shirts are of very cheap quality.

Wrapping Paper
This is seasonal and quite bulky and hard for the kids to deliver, plus it easy to get damaged or torn. It’s also like magazines in that it has been overdone since the 1970's.

How About Magazines
These have been going on since the 1960’s and now with the internet and the change in media, this is an idea that still popular, has lost its luster. Because these are so common, school families have become reluctant to ask family members, neighbors and co-workers to buy stuff. Happy Jacks beef jerky is fresh and cut to order. Also magazine subscriptions require a long commitment. Jerky is a fast sale and its good and easy to handle and deliver.

Discount Coupons
Whether using online tools like Scrip or Shoparoo, or working with local or national restaurants or retailers, the basic idea is that the retailer will sell schools coupon books at a discounted price and let them keep a percentage (~5% of the proceeds etc.). While this can be successful, the profit is often pretty low and it does bank on the fact that people will shop or dine at the specific retailers and restaurants. Once again jerky can earn more profit and is healthy and is a much simpler method to be successful.

Let's Think Outside The Box
Why not try something new for your fundraiser that you don’t have to keep cold plus is easy to deliver? What if we told you it’s one of the best-selling snacks in the United States, it’s made using only 100% American Beef, it’s competitively priced, and comes in multiple gourmet flavors? It’s Happy Jacky's the Happy Pirate Beef Jerky! Not only are there multiple beef jerky flavors to choose from, but it comes with a one year freshness expire date and it's a perfect gift. Everyone likes beef jerky! Our beef jerky is beef brisket with no filler and it’s a high protein snack and it's a healthy treat. Schools are really into the healthier products and you can't do better than beef jerky.
