We used salsa fundraising, last year, and did quite well. It's a change of pace and everyone loved it.
This year we are buying extra to have on hand at our Spring Carnival for on the spot selling. This seems like a good idea since a month after the sale people were asking us when we are doing the sale again.
I strongly recommend this! It's easy, cheap with 50% profit, and it was pretty darn delicious.
We used salsafundraising.com and did very well. He hooked us up with samples for our back to school open house and that helped a lot to boost sales. Can't wait to do it again.
A close friend of mine was just talking with me the other day about a fundraiser they are going to be doing for his son's football team that he coaches. It's a coffee fundraiser selling gourmet coffee. Makes sense. How many people do you know who DON'T drink coffee. The company they are going to use is Roast Of The Town. They are in Raleigh, NC. Looks like they offer a good potential for profit.
A friend of mine just mentioned a company called Loopah to me. it sounds pretty interesting, it's fundraising based off of community service projects rather than selling items door to door. their website is www.loopah.com
.
good luck!
