HUZO™ Useful Tips to Make Your Job Easy

Schools

School fundraisers are most successful when you "show and tell" the HUZOTM Fundraiser Program to faculty, parents and students. Most parents and kids are familiar with renting movies and video games from their local or online store. HUZOTM offers award winning Online DVD Purchases as well as support and great ideas to make your HUZOTM school fundraiser a huge success! Movies, Games, Music and eBooks are not only fun for the whole family, but offer families quality time with one another. So, why not earn money for your causes doing something you already enjoy, while fostering your family bond?

Here are some tips to help you get started:

SIX Tips for a Successful School Fundraiser

1) Set Kids up for Success with a Selling Script. If a student fundraiser is selling a Harry Potter™ movie or video game, suggest saying, "Why not buy the same DVDs and Video Games you are used to from our school's website at: (www.HUZO.com/ yourschoolname)? It's that simple! Or, if selling the service students can say, "Hey, Mom. I know you're busy this week, so instead of making a trip to the video store, we could order some DVDs and video games from Huzo and they'll send them right to our mailbox! We'll have them before the weekend and it's the same price. Plus, my school will make money from the purchaes."

  1. Use the Internet to Easily Enlist Out-of-Town Supporters. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and close family friends are more than happy to help schoolchildren raise money for their schools. HUZOTM Fundraiser Program features easy-to-use email tools, so students and parents can quickly send a prewritten email to potential supporters, customized with their specific information. The school fundraiser earns credit on all online sales and students earn prize credits. Simply visit: (www.HUZO.com/yourschoolname) and register.
  2. Motivate & Reward Your Top Sellers. HUZO™ offers a free prize program for elementary school fundraisers. We regularly give away games, consoles and other cool prizes. Plus, children love to win these types of rewards for successful school fundraisers. Consider letting the top sellers decide whether they want movie tickets, a game, a new iPod or a new computer. Or have individual classrooms compete against one another where the top teachers fight it out using a video game as the battle ground. You could turn it into an event with Huzo movies and pizza! Huzo also offers gift certificates as rewards for top student sellers.
  3. Plan Fun School Fundraiser Kick-off Events. Plan a fun kick-off assembly to get kids excited for your school fundraiser. Show the great prizes they can earn and motivate them to start raising money for your school. Our fundraising experts will help you plan and even put on a great assembly. Be sure to stress to students that they should only sell to people they or their parents know. Do not go door to door and do not sell to strangers.
  4. Know the Right Time to Raise Money. Holidays and exams are generally not ideal times for fundraising drives. Academic success is the priority for kids in school, and fundraisers should never interfere with that. Parents will also appreciate your consideration, and support the fundraiser more enthusiastically.
  5. Get Parents, Teachers & Kids Involved. Ask parents and teachers to help with your school fundraiser. The old adage, "many hands make light work" is especially true with school fundraising. At a minimum, you'll want volunteers to help with promotions, communications, tallying and distributing orders to make your school fundraiser a snap. Older students can also be a big help. Ask teachers if 1-2 students in their classrooms can help with collecting orders and making posters. HUZO™ deliveries all products and reports this online.

Non Profit Groups

Make your nonprofit fundraiser a success by selling HUZO, a fundraising program that actually puts dollars back in your supporters' pockets with $1000s in earnings coming back to them on the things they love to do.

EIGHT Proven steps for having a Successful Non-Profit Fundraiser

  1. Take Advantage of Free Publicity. Local newspapers will publish group announcements free of charge, so send them a press release about your nonprofit fundraising campaign. Be sure to include as much information as possible: what you are raising money for, how people can contact you to help, and where you will be offering your HUZO™ fundraising service. Nonprofit groups that sell HUZO™ can easily customize a prepared press release available online, making the publicity not only free, but easy!
  2. Link Your Group's Website to Your Huzo Website to Make More Profit. If you are selling the HUZO™ program, we provide you with your own customized HUZO™ website that you can link from your non-profit website. When visitors click that link and subscribe, your group automatically earns the fundraising dollars.
  3. Ask Group Members to Sell Fundraising Products in their Workplace. Do not miss out on this valuable opportunity to make more money for your nonprofit HUZO™ fundraising campaign. HUZO™ Fundraising flyers directing them to your HUZO™ website are a common site in office kitchens and front desks. Members can also use our easy e-mail tool to ask their coworkers, vendors and other professional contacts to support your cause. We will do everything else, including shipping the products directly to your supporters and making sure your group gets profits for the sale!
  4. Include Your Non Profit Fundraising Efforts in Other Group Events. When you have a meeting, special presentation, Bingo night, fish fry or other group event, be sure to have a table promoting your nonprofit HUZO™ fundraising efforts. You can have the event emcee announce the HUZO™ fundraiser so everyone knows the great cause for which you are raising money.
  5. Host a Telethon for Maximum Impact. Schedule a telethon one evening during the week and notify supporters plus appropriate contacts in your organization’s directory, vendor list and personal address lists. Telethons are an excellent opportunity to educate the public on your group’s goals, and invite them to help your nonprofit HUZO™ fundraising efforts, while saving money by buying and renting HUZO™ Movies, Video Games, Music and eBooks.
  6. Go Where the Crowds Go. Take advantage of the traffic grocery stores and popular retailers generate on weekends. People know and love Movies, Games, Music and eBooks, but often don't know how the process will work. People will gladly support you with a little education, a friendly smile and a worthy cause. Be sure to talk to store management to receive permission before you begin.
  7. Recruit Plenty of Volunteers to Make Your HUZO™ Fundraiser Stress-Free. Before you start recruiting help, clearly identify the type of help you need and the responsibilities of each role. For example, you will likely want a HUZO™ Fundraiser Chairperson who will take charge, delegate tasks, and oversee the entire fundraising effort. You may want a co-chairperson, treasurer, and someone to execute promotions. This is also an ideal opportunity to involve your supporters in the community. People like to pitch in for a nonprofit they support.
  8. Share Non Profit Fundraising Success Stories. Be sure to keep your nonprofit group up to date on how the HUZO™ fundraiser is going. Use a simple thermometer poster so everyone can easily see how much money the group has made - and how close you are to achieving your goal. Ask members with a high success rate to talk about their selling methods. Your group will profit when you share fundraising ideas that have worked for others.

Sports and Extracurricular Groups

Sports teams across the country find it easy to raise money every year with HUZO.™ It's a WIN-WIN SPORTS FUNDRAISER because your supporters love getting together to watch movies and play games, while generating a revenue stream to cover the team's expenses, so they can concentrate on having a winning season!

FIVE Steps in Creating a Successful Sporting HUZO™ Fundraiser

  1. Recruit Volunteers - Get Kids Involved. If your sports group members are kids who are old enough to help, be sure to involve them and give them as much responsibility as possible. Fundraising is a great learning experience for kids. The kids will get valuable organizational and leadership experience while they are raising money to help the team.
  2. Sell Fundraising Products at All Your Games & Team Events. Be sure to have your HUZO™ items available for sale at your sporting events. Items like DVDs and Video Games will sell very easily at a sporting event. It's as easy as setting up a table and having someone available to answer questions, sell products and collect money. You can even have the announcer tell the crowd about the benefits of your HUZO™ fundraising event. Best of all, there's no need to advertise since people will be attending your games anyway!
  3. Plan Rewards for Top Sellers. Ask local businesses (especially sporting goods or other stores the team members like) to support your team fundraising efforts by donating gift certificates to reward top sellers on the team. This is a great opportunity for businesses to support the community and gain recognition. HUZO™ can provide many ideas for motivational rewards and tips on how to get them at little or no cost to your sports fundraising group.
  4. Have Post-Game Parties at Restaurants or Homes. Watch Movies, Play Games and even Set up a Game Console at your favorite restaurant or parent’s house. Your favorite restaurant will have a blast catering to the parents and kids who are watching the movie or playing the games. Your members will sell more when they are excited about what they are offering. Your family and friends can support your sports HUZO™ fundraiser while putting money back in their pockets!
  5. Go Where the Sports Fans GO. Take advantage of the traffic sporting events and sporting goods retailers get. Who better to support a youngster's soccer team than a die-hard fan of the game? This tactic works great with HUZO™ because people know what to expect with a movie or a video game, but often just don't know how to sign up for the HUZO™ service. Have the kids promote their own video and gaming site with this easy to remember website: (www.HUZO.com/yourschoolname). It's that easy! Set up a table where fans and patrons congregate, and be ready to tell folks all about your team. Be sure to talk to the store or venue management to seek permission before you start.

Churches/Religious Groups

Whatever your religious affiliation, HUZO™ Fundraiser is a great way to make money. Your church fundraiser will be very easy to implement because supporters just have to remember the name of their church and we help create the website for you (www.HUZO.com/yourchurchname). Every time a sale occurs, this drives revenue back to the church. Everything is tracked online and checks are paid at the close of each month. Churches receive year round funding with this program.

FOUR Steps in Creating a Successful Church/Religious Fundraiser

  1. Make Your Fundraiser a Pleasant Experience. Recruit a Volunteer Team in which you can rely to help divide all the tasks involved in running your HUZO™ fundraiser. You may need a Chairperson, a vice or co-chair, a treasurer, and someone who will head the task of promotions. This is also an ideal opportunity to involve your community supporters. People like to pitch in for worthy causes they support.
  2. Reach Out to the Community. Your congregation no doubt does a lot of good work for the community, and your fundraiser is an excellent opportunity for the community to come together to support your effort. Schedule a special event or telethon. Create a vendor's list and include all participating vendors, giving you an opportunity to cross promote with participating local business owners. These efforts will not only help your church raise valuable funding, but also help small business owners gain exposure and serve the community.
  3. Ask Members to Do One Thing When They Get Home from Church. Ask every member to e-mail out-of-town family and friends to help your church HUZO™ fundraiser. It's easy when you hand out our customizable flyers after church. Our HUZO™ Website features easy-to-use e-mail tools that let you send a prewritten e-mail with all the details - in mere minutes.
  4. Promote Your Church Fundraiser in All Church Communications. Have a newsletter? A church Website? The Sunday program? Be sure to submit a short article, ad, or link relating your church HUZO™ fundraiser. Explain what you are raising money for and how people can help. Often the difference between a successful fundraiser and an unsuccessful one is merely letting people know about it! We're here to help, so please ask us for assistance.
