How to Run a Christmas Wreath Fundraiser

Start with Fresh Maine Wreaths

Kick off your holiday wreath sale with fresh balsam wreaths from Rockdale Wreaths. Our wreaths are made with Maine balsam and finished for Christmas doors, gifts, offices, churches, and holiday displays.

Each wreath is made with fresh balsam fir, giving buyers a real piece of Maine, real greenery, natural scent, and a finished Christmas look. These wreaths work well for personal decorating, front doors, customer gifts, family gifts, and fundraiser orders.

Keep the wreath choices simple so buyers can understand the sale quickly. Some buyers may want a classic balsam wreath with a red bow, while others may choose a wreath for a church entrance, office wall, or gift shipment. Show clear photos of the wreath, bow, size, price, and order deadline.

Set Your Fundraising Goals

Before starting the sale, figure out how much money your group needs to raise. The money may help pay for a school trip, sports gear, scout activity, church youth program, cemetery wreath effort, or local project.

Once you know the amount needed, divide that number by the profit from each wreath to estimate how many wreaths your group needs to sell. A smaller group may start with 50 wreaths. A larger school, church, team, or troop may aim for 100 or more.

A wreath count gives volunteers a goal to focus on when getting orders. Check the wreath count a few times before the deadline so volunteers know whether they need more orders.

Plan Your Sales Approach

Start with people who already know the group: parents, church members, scout families, teachers, coaches, neighbors, coworkers, local customers, and past donors.

Give buyers the wreath price, order deadline, shipping or pickup details, and one short line about what the sale helps your organiztion buy. A simple message works best.  “Wreath orders help pay for our class trip,” or “This sale supports our church youth program.”

Group orders move the sale faster. Offices may order wreaths for doors or customer gifts. Families may order wreaths for relatives. Churches, classrooms, and neighborhood lists can bring in several orders at once.

Promote Your Fundraiser

Share the wreath sale in the places your supporters already check. Use school newsletters, church bulletins, scout troop messages, team emails, printed handouts, town boards, and billboard areas.

Use clear wreath photos instead of long promotional wording. Show the balsam greenery, bow, wreath size, price, order deadline, and order link. A good product photo helps buyers picture the wreath on a front door, church entrance, office wall, or gift box.

A kickoff table will work well at a church coffee hour, school pickup, holiday fair, town event, or team gathering. Bring a wreath photo, order sheet, price, deadline, and a short note explaining what the sale is funding.

Email reminders can drive sales over the top before the order window closes. Keep them short: include the order link, wreath details, deadline, and what the money helps pay for.
