2. Set a Goal
Every Terri Lynn Online Store has the option of setting a goal — and we highly recommend you do, too! Once you add a fundraising goal, a thermometer tracker will automatically show on your Online Store page for supporters to see. It’s a great way for your team to measure progress, and also for your supporters to be inspired to move the thermometer up, up, up! Once you’ve set a goal, you can also change it anytime (for instance, if you reach your goal and want to keep raising money!).

5. Get the Profit Checks
Once your supporters start placing orders, you’ll start receiving profit checks in the mail each month — no matter how much your Terri Lynn Online Store raises. Easy as that!
