Kick Off

Promote & Sell

Pick Up & Deliver

Step 1 - Sign Up

To start a fundraiser, simply sign up for your fundraising program online or give us a call. Once we confirm the details of your fundraiser we'll send you a confirmation email and mail you the order forms.

Don't forget to ask about setting up your online store!

Step 2 - Kick Off

Start your fundraising program off with an in-person or virtual event where you hand out the information packets and seller tools, introduce your sellers to the product, and answer any questions.

We'll send your order forms which you can pass out to your group. Be sure to let the sellers know when to return their order forms and money.

Step 3 - Promote & Sell

Remind sellers to share their online store link via social media, email, and text! If you need a little boost, we'll be there to provide support and motivation to help get you over the finish line.

Once your fundraiser is complete, you will enter your results on the online portal. We'll email you a link to the portal once your fundraiser has started.

Step 4 - Pick Up & Deliver

Prior to your delivery we'll send you an email reminding you of the delivery details. We'll also send you an invoice due at delivery. Please bring a check for the full invoice amount.

Your products will arrive pre-sorted for each seller. Keep in mind our products are frozen, so it's important that all products are picked up promptly and placed in a freezer.

Frequently Asked Questions

We will arrive in our own delivery vehicle on the date and time selected. We will unload the products and sort them by seller. Please have tables and a few volunteers ready to help when we arrive.

Most groups sell for two weeks. We will deliver your product roughly two weeks after your order is submitted. Your entire sale can be wrapped up within a month! In slower times of the year we can even do it even quicker as our delivery schedule is more flexible.

We recommend collecting payment at the time of order to ensure funds are secured before ordering products.

We encourage all groups to sell at least 150 items. If your group sells fewer than 150 items, your delivery date may be delayed as we will try to deliver when we are in your area.

Payment is due upon delivery, with checks payable to Uplifting Promotions.

Due to high shipping costs for frozen products, all items, including online orders, are delivered by the seller.

The best way to encourage out-of-town relatives to purchase from your fundraiser is by using our online store. When you sell with the online store, each seller gets a personal link that they can send out via email, text, or post on social media. Now, friends and family from all over can support your cause!

We would encourage your relatives that are coming from out of state that have ordered from you to bring a cooler, buy a little dry ice and take it back with them. The product will stay cold for several days provided you tape it shut and cover with a blanket. Frozen products must be kept at 0°F or below so regular ice does not work.

Orders can be submitted through our secure online portal. You will receive a unique link that is specific to your fundraiser. We also offer offline order tabulators if necessary.

After submitting your order, we’ll send an invoice. Online sales are deducted from the total, reducing your balance. For example, if your order totals $1,000 and online sales collect $600, you owe $400 at delivery.

No, order forms are free, and payment for products is due only upon delivery.

Absolutely! We suggest choosing another product line. We have multiple product lines to choose from.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your sellers excited, engaged, and motivated throughout the fundraising process, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve gathered a variety of simple, fun, and creative ways to help you ignite the fundraising spirit within your team.
