Revitalize Your Wreath Fundraiser

Planning a Profitable Holiday Wreath Sale

A Christmas wreath fundraiser can work well for a nonprofit, school, church, scout troop, PTO, or community group that wants to raise money during the holiday season. This supporting guide is focused on the long-tail planning side: setting a sales goal, organizing volunteers, promoting the sale, and keeping orders on track.

Why Groups Choose Rockdale

Rockdale products are handcrafted on our Maine farm with fresh balsam, pine cones, and classic red bows. They work well for front doors, churches, offices, porch displays, and holiday gifts because supporters receive something seasonal, useful, and tied to a real Christmas tradition.

Groups that need the main program page can visit the fundraiser hub page. Schools can review the school wreath sale page, churches can review the church wreath sale page, and local organizations can use the nonprofit wreath fundraiser page for program details.

Setting Your Sales Goal

Start with the amount your group needs to raise. That might be for a class trip, youth program, church project, sports team, local pantry, or community event. Once the goal is clear, estimate how many orders you need and who will help collect them.

Pricing and Profit

Decide on a selling price that fits your audience and still gives the group room to raise money. Your final profit depends on product cost, selling price, order count, shipping or pickup plans, and any local expenses. Keep the math simple so volunteers can explain it without confusion.

Organizing Your Sales Team

Ask parents, church members, scout families, neighbors, and local supporters to help. Give each person a clear job, such as sharing the order link, tracking orders, collecting payments, answering buyer questions, or helping with pickup day.

Promoting the Sale

Share a good product photo, the order deadline, pickup or delivery details, and the reason for the sale. Use the channels your group already checks, such as school emails, church bulletins, team messages, local newsletters, and social media.

For flyer copy, email reminders, order notes, and buyer questions, use the fundraiser resource center. It gives groups practical wreath fundraiser resources they can use while planning and promoting the sale.

Order Management

Keep orders in one place. A basic order sheet can track buyer names, quantities, payments, phone numbers, and pickup notes. Before the cutoff date, check the totals and make sure every order has the details Rockdale needs.

Delivery and Pickup Planning

Confirm timing before you promise dates to buyers. Some groups use direct shipping, while others arrange a pickup day at a school, church hall, firehouse, or other central location. Give buyers the pickup address, date, and contact person early so fewer questions come in later.

Thanking Your Supporters

After the sale, thank the families, neighbors, and volunteers who helped. Share the final order count and tell supporters what the money will help pay for. That gives people a reason to come back when your group runs another seasonal sale.

Tips for a Smoother Sale

1. Start early so your group has time to share the sale.
2. Give buyers the order deadline, pickup plan, and payment steps in one place.
3. Use one person or small team to track totals.
4. Remind supporters a few times before the deadline.
5. Keep pickup or shipping details easy to find.

Ready to Start?

Rockdale works best with groups that have a clear goal, a simple order process, and enough time to reach local supporters before the holiday rush. When you are ready, start a fundraiser and send Rockdale Wreaths your group details so we can review timing and product needs.
