Organize a Successful Christmas Wreath Fundraiser This Season

Organize a Successful Christmas Wreath Fundraiser This Season

A wreath fundraiser works when the product is easy to explain. A fresh balsam wreath can go on a front door, a church entrance, an office wall, a cemetery stand, or into a shipping box for someone who lives out of town.

A Christmas Fundraiser with Rockdale Wreaths gives a school, church, nonprofit, or community group a seasonal product people already understand: a fresh Maine balsam wreath finished with classic red bows and ready to hang, give, or display.

That makes Christmas wreaths a good fit for schools, churches, scout troops, youth teams, volunteer groups, and local nonprofits. Many families are already buying greenery for their own homes or sending Christmas gifts, so the sale fits the season instead of feeling like another catalog fundraiser.

Rockdale Wreaths makes fresh balsam wreaths in Maine. For your group, that means supporters are ordering a real Christmas item they can hang, gift, or send during the holiday season.

PTO leaders can read the school wreath sale page for school-specific tips.

Church volunteers can see the church wreath sale page page.

Know Your First Buyers

Most wreath sales start close to home. Parents, grandparents, church members, scout families, neighbors, teachers, coaches, local customers, and past donors are usually the first people to ask.

Before the sale opens, write down the people who already know the group. A school may start with families and staff. A church may start with members and holiday visitors. A scout troop may start with parents, relatives, and neighbors.

That list gives volunteers a place to begin instead of waiting for orders to come in on their own.

Tell People What the Wreath Sale Pays For

Be clear about where the money is going. A wreath fundraiser can support school trips, youth programs, team expenses, church projects, nonprofit needs, or other local group costs.

Simple statements work best: “Each wreath sold supports our school trip,” “Wreath purchases help our church youth program,” or “This sale helps our team cover season expenses.” When buyers knows what  it's about, the order feels connected to the group they are supporting.

Set a wreath goal or fundraising goal before the sale begins. A small group may pick 50 balsam decorations, while a larger group may set a higher target. A target helps volunteers explain the fundraiser and gives the group a way to track progress before the order deadline.

Review the fundraiser hub page before you open orders.

request fundraiser information if you need help placing a group order.

Promote the Wreath Sale Clearly

When promoting your wreath sale, keep the message simple. Include a photo of the wreath, explain the bow style, list the order deadline, and share any pickup, delivery, or shipping details your group is using.

Clearly state the price and explain what the event supports. This helps buyers understand why their order matters and makes it easier for them to decide.

Printed flyers can work well at schools, churches, community centers, and local retail locations during the Christmas season. Email, group messages, and social media posts can also help families, volunteers, and supporters remember the order deadline.

Start Before December

To keep the ordering process smoother, begin your sale before December arrives. Many families need time to choose Maine balsam decorations for their doors, relatives, teachers, neighbors, or business contacts.

Local offices, school committees, church groups, and volunteer teams may also want to combine requests for multiple products. Starting early gives those buyers time to collect names, confirm quantities, and place their orders before the season gets too busy.

Wrap Up the Wreath Sale

After the order window closes, share the result. Tell supporters how many were sold and what the money helped pay for.

A short thank-you is enough. Send it through the same places you used during the sale, such as a school email, church bulletin, team message, printed note, or update.

Final Thought

A Christmas fundraiser works because the product belongs to the season. With fresh Maine balsam from Rockdale Wreaths, your group can raise money with something families recognize, use, give, and display during Christmas.
