Chocolate Fundraising Drives

Chocolate drives have always been a very popular fundraiser. As a major fundraiser they can earn several thousands of dollars for your school or organisation. From the $1 Cadbury Caramello Koalas to the new $2 Cadbury Mervellous creations, everyone seems to be able to sell a box of those babies in the office at morning tea time. There are other alternatives and many big names brands offer their products as a chocolate fundraising drive.  Click here for our list of fundraising chocolate and lollies suppliers.

How it works

Depending on the type of confectionary you choose to sell – and the supplier – you have two options:

• on-hand sales
• order from a catalogue

On-hand sales mean you have the chocolate bars or lollies to sell. it strikes the sweet tooth: it’s an impulse buy. It’s great for quick sales when you need your funds fast. But you have to pay upfront for your products, although deferred payment terms may be available.

Ordering from a catalogue takes more time and effort. You need to distribute the catalogues, campaign for sales and get the orders in. It’s usually the favoured choice when selling larger gift boxes of luxury confectionary where the price tag is higher.
