Set the cruise-control, sit back, and enjoy the fundraising ride with your Terri Lynn Fundraising Online Store!
We realize a lot goes into running a successful fundraising campaign. And the more things you can move off your plate, the better. That’s why we’ve designed our online Terri Lynn Online Store program to help you fundraise virtually 24/7, every day of the year. Swap door-to-door fundraising for automations and ease — and save yourself time, money and resources.
Or, you can combine online fundraising with door-to-door fundraising to expand your reach, bolster your efforts, and offer multiple ways for your community to give to your cause!
Here are some of the ways a Terri Lynn Online Store can set your fundraiser on autopilot, so your cause can be raising money while you spend more time focusing on your organization’s good cause.
Set Raising Money on Autopilot with Your Terri Lynn Online Store
Get monthly profit checks
Profit checks from Terri Lynn Online Store sales are mailed monthly, regardless of how much you’ve raised. There’s nothing extra you need to do here — once you’ve completed the Online Store set up (which takes about 10-15 minutes) and then submitted your W-9 for review, your Online Store will open. Terri Lynn will begin automatically sending profit checks every month following your first Online Store sale.
It’s that easy! You can check on orders and view the total amount you have raised anytime in your Terri Lynn Fundraising Dashboard. Then you’ll know how much to expect in your mailed profit check!
Tip: You choose your profit margins when you open your Online Store. When you choose 20%, 30% or 40%, the product prices on your Online Store will be updated to reflect your chosen amount.
Offer hands-free shipping and receipts
Nothing extra for you or your team to do here. When your supporters order delicious Terri Lynn snacks and treats through your Online Store, their orders are shipped automatically. There’s no need for you to orchestrate delivery, collect or track payments, or organize order paperwork and deliveries, plus your supporters will get order and shipping tracking automatically sent to their email addresses.
Tip: Let your supporters know that shipping is free when they buy $30 or more of premium Terri Lynn nuts, mixes and confections through your Online Store.
Set a fundraising goal
When you set a goal for your fundraiser, a progress bar will automatically appear on your Terri Lynn Online Store page, and on your Fundraising Dashboard. The bar will update in real-time to show visitors to your Terri Lynn Online Store how close you are to reaching your goal with every order. It’s a great tool for showing your community the progress you’ve made already, and to encourage them to push you past the goal line.
Tip: Choose a goal that meets your needs, feels realistic and attainable, and excites your supporters!
Recruit supporters directly from your Fundraising Dashboard
Emailing is easy straight from your Terri Lynn Fundraising Dashboard — there’s no need to leave with built-in messaging. When you use our provided email and texting tools, you can simply write your message, paste in your unique Online Store link, and send it out to your contacts’ emails or phone numbers.
Tip: Message your supporters regularly to keep them engaged. Let them know when your Online Store opens, when you’ve met the halfway point, when you’re almost there, and when they’ve launched you past your fundraising goal!
Print a fillable flier
When you start a fundraiser with Terri Lynn, you’ll get access to our Promotions Kit full of easily-customizable graphics, including a fillable flier. Just download, add your organization’s name, and then print — voila, all set! When you don’t have a full-time designer on hand, this is a really handy way of delivering professional-quality promotional materials on the go.
Tip: It’s a flier so nice, you’ll want to use it twice! Once you print your flier, you can also go digital and drop it into the body of an email, along with a link to your Online Store.
Send customizable thank you letters
When you log into your Terri Lynn Fundraising Dashboard, you’ll see a list of recent purchasers. Simply click the “Thank” link next to their names, and a message box will open for you to send a personalized message of gratitude. You can also see how much their purchase contributed to your fundraiser, and thank them for their giving amount.
Tip: Here’s some Thank You messaging you can use:
Hi (Name),
