Whether you're responsible for planning & executing the bake sale or just volunteered to bring baked goodies, use these tips to master your school's bake sale this year.
The first thing you'll want to do is check community calendars to avoid conflicting with other fundraisers. Also consider partnering with another relevant event to help draw an even bigger crowd.
Choose a time with the most potential for customers. Think about the busiest times of day for the location you've chosen.
If your bake sale is taking place outside of school, make sure the location is safe from street traffic, easily accessible and visible to customers.
Talk to the school administration about ways to recruit bakers and helpers from within the school community. They may be able to get the word out to parents using emails, newsletters or even their social media accounts. Baking can be a great activity for kids so be sure to get them involved too!
To advertise the sale, send announcements to local newspapers and post information on local websites. Remember to email friends and family, and don’t forget to post on your Facebook page, blogs, and Twitter. Ask your volunteers to do the same and see if your school has a newsletter or social media profiles that they can also use to spread the word.
