Overview of Our Fun, Simple, Profitable Fundraiser
Decide on Products/Scents/Pricing for Your Fundraiser
You’ve already taken the first step to a successful fundraiser by requesting this Fundraiser Success Kit!
The next thing we need to do is design your fundraiser. This is such a flexible fundraiser! You have complete control over what type of products you sell, what scents you will offer and the prices you sell the products for.
Look over the enclosed catalog to see the various products our company offers. You can also browse our product line at my distributor’s on-line store (Shop Online tab): http://www.BeyondTheCandleOnline.com.
Select any combination of fragrances from the scent list. All our candles are richly scented and are guaranteed to burn properly. We advise you to select 6 to 10 fragrances from our list.
Select the fragrances that are most popular for the season and time of year of the fundraiser. Try to select a variety from all scent groups…fruits, spices, florals, etc.
Analyze the goals of the fundraiser and decide on your selling price. We typically suggest a price of $20.00 (Mia Bella Gourmet Candles suggested retail is $18.95)
Then, let’s set up a time that we can talk and put the final touches on your “designer fundraiser”! I am here to guide you through every step of your fundraiser so that this is a successful, profitable undertaking for your group.
Get Your “Scent-Sational” Fundraiser Off & Running
I will provide each of your participants with
1. a full color order form for all the products that you have chosen to sell,
2. a fragrance list describing each fragrance your group is selling and
3. an information sheet with letting your participants know what to do along with details about what sets these candles and products apart from the rest!
Sell Products and Make Money for Your Group
Participants will take orders for a designated period of time. I usually like to give the participants two weeks to sell the products (with two weekends). Customers are requested to pay when placing their order. Checks should be made payable to your organization. Advertise that delivery may take from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the time of year.
Collect, Tally and Finalize Paperwork
Participants should turn in orders and all payments to the fundraising coordinator within your group. The orders are tallied and the master order form (provided) is turned in to me with a check for the order total. If you are a non-profit organization, I will also need a copy of your tax exemption certificate (so that sales tax does not have to be paid on the items sold).
Your PROFITS are yours IMMEDIATELY - no waiting on us to cut you a check. The money is in your account at the end of your fundraiser so that you can start using it as needed. Isn’t that great????
Receive and Distribute Candles
Orders are delivered within 15 business days of submitting the order form and payment to me. Orders are shipped via UPS directly to you organization. If you are in my local area, I will personally deliver your products to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start my fundraiser?
After you contact me, I will provide you with a Fundraising Agreement Form. Just fill it out and email or mail it to me. After I receive the form, I will contact you to get the "fire started"! We will work together to personally customize your fundraiser. After we have all the specifics (dates/products/scents), I will ship all your fundraising materials to you.
Can any size group hold a candle fundraiser? Can we be successful if we have a small group?
Sure! Anyone that needs to raise money can hold this kind of fundraiser - no group is too big or too small! Successful fundraisers are not dependent upon the amount of members in your organization. We have seen small groups and even individuals who have sold incredible amounts of candles for fundraising.
Does my group have to be a non-profit group to hold a candle fundraiser?
No! Any group or individual that needs to raise money for a worthy cause can use a candle fundraiser to reach their goals.
Are there any start-up fees with your fundraisers?
No! I will supply everything you need to hold a successful fundraiser for your organization. There are NO out-of-pocket expenses and you receive your profit immediately!
What supplies do I receive?
After we customize your fundraiser, I will send you brochures, a scent description list, and an informational memo for each participant. I will also provide you with a master order form, and an instruction page on how to total your fundraiser.
Does our group have to purchase the products and then sell them?
No! This candle fundraiser is based on pre-selling the products. Your participants sell from a custom designed order brochure, collect the money at the time of the sale. Your group coordinator then collects all the money and order forms, tallies everything on the master form. You only pay for the products you order based on the orders and money you have collected.
When do I pay for my order?
Your participants make their payments for the products directly to your organization. When the fundraiser is over, you tally your profit and deduct it from the total collected. You then send the remaining amount to me.
How long will it take to get my products?
Your orders will be shipped within 14 business days after payment is received. Shipments normally are shipped via UPS directly to your organization unless you are local to my area.
Are Mia Bella’s Candles too expensive as fundraising products?
Our gourmet candles have value, are naturally clean, and represent a healthy alternative to unhealthy paraffin candles and are priced in the same range as many paraffin candles (which already have a great track record for fundraising).
Why is the "QUALITY" of Mia Bella’s Candles so important?
We constantly search and hand-select fragrance oils from around the world so that our candle gives off a pleasing scent when it burns. If it is an apple scented candle it will smell like apples, not perfume. We take immense pride in our process which assures that every aspect of our candle is done with personal pride and we truly believe that the key to having a long term relationship with your fundraising organization and their customer base is to offer a candle that has no peers!
If we sell Mia Bella’s Hand Poured Vegetable Candles two years in a row, will the second year be as successful as the first?
Past experience shows that the second year is usually MORE successful because people are aware of the quality and value of our candles and buy more than they did the year before.
Just look at what some of my satisfied fundraising groups, customers and team members are saying!

Check out the brochure and my online store for a listing of all the fragrances that Mia Bella Gourmet Candles have to offer. I suggest that your organization pick out about 5-15 scents to use for the fundraiser. (Keep in mind the season in which the fundraiser will occur.)
How many other companies let you choose the fragrances you want to sell?
The Mia Bella Gourmet Candle Fundraiser would be great for your organization!
This fundraiser does not take a lot of time. It only takes a few weeks from start to finish.
WANT TO RAISE MONEY FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION?
IT'S AS EASY AS 1, 2, 3!!
FUNDRAISERS ARE THE KEY!! The cost of running an organization can be very expensive. Holding a fundraiser can be a
very easy, cost effective way to raise money for your organization. Fundraisers also provide a great team environment for all
involved. Everyone can participate in raising funds and work together to help the organization to grow and be successful.
SELL A HOT PRODUCT! Let's face it. Fundraisers such as candy, popcorn and over-priced wrapping paper are worn out.
People are tired of the same old thing are want value for their money. As a parent, I know I am sick of the same old stuff!
It is my pleasure to offer your organization an extremely successful and universally appealing fundraising item - CANDLES!
But, not just any old candle - MIA BELLA CLEANER BURNING GOURMET CANDLES! The Mia Bella Gourmet Candle
is a great product that is a step above the rest. The candles come in many colors, scents, are longer burning, soot free, and a healthier
alternative for the home.
Gourmet scented candles make the perfect fundraising item. In a recent poll of women buyers, 96% said that they had purchased a
scented candle within 12 months. With our gourmet scented candles you can offer an alternative to something that almost everyone is
already buying! Mia Bella's Gourmet Candles are a great fundraising item because you can earn excellent income on each candle.
Instead of a few cents for every sale, you can make a few dollars! This means that you can earn more for the same effort!
IT'S EASY!!
1. TAKING ORDERS - I will supply order forms and information for all participants in the fundraiser.
Participants simply take orders, collect the money and turn the orders into the organization. Checks are made
out to your organization.
2. PLACING ORDERS - After the orders are collected, they will be turned into me. I will total the order, process
the payments, order the candles and deliver your profits to you as I deliver the candles or you can just deduct
your $6 per candle and take your profits when you give me a check for the remaining $14 per candle.
3. DELIVERY – After the order is placed, the candles will be delivered in 2-3 weeks. We can have your candles
delivered to you directly or I can deliver them to you. It’s up to you. I just need to know at the time I place the order.
GREAT PROFITABILTY! The Mia Bella Gourmet Candle Fundraiser is designed to be easy and profitable for your
organization. (See attached profitability chart.) If you have any questions regarding Mia Bella's Gourmet Candle Fundraiser,
please call me. I look forward to assisting you in helping your organization to raise money and to grow.
