We distribute for several supply companies and have found that our customers are consistently most satisfied with our Charleston Wrap line. They offer 2 brochures (Kitchen & Home and Charleston Wrap) that are designed to be sold together as one fundraiser. This supplier consistently offers good, high quality merchandise.
We have used Charleston Wrap for the last few years and had great results. Their product is top notch and great price points as well. They have 2 books the students sell from as well as online products. They always have a great daily prize program.
Their customer service department is always ready to help.
Good Luck.
I kick most catalogs to the curb. They're full of junky trinkets, poorly fabricated "useful items" that honestly don't warrant the price tag. Add to that, many of the school families work at an in-town major wrapping paper manufacturer and have access to all the best gift wrap for a fraction of the retail price. Our school no longer wants us to do "food fundraisers", so that limits our scope.
For Fall 2013, I have to say that I like the look of Cherrydale Farms. The catalog was pleasing, short and had nice items at good price points. There was a separate add-on catalog with biodomes or terrariums for kids. Love this!
Another PTO president in our town told me that they used Cherrydale this year with fabulous results. There was a stuffed animal incentive program for the kids that worked really well. I can't give you numbers, but class participation was super high.
I don't usually endorse catalog sales. Our group has been doing everything but for the last four years. This new catalog has me thinking that we could increase our profits exponentially next Fall. Good luck!
Our elementary PTO is looking to try something new for the fall - thinking about a catalog with various items. Can any of you recommend the best one......don't want the kids selling junky items (i'm assuming some have better quality items than others).....would love to find a company with decent prizes for once as well....if that is possible. Thanks for any suggestions!
