Why is Watkins the best way to
Fundraise?
- Recognition! Watkins Products have
been distributed directly to our homes since
1868! That has made us a household name for over 8
generations!
- Variety
and Selection! Over 350 individual products that appeal
to all members of the family. These top quality spices,
gourmet seasonings, health and wellness items, personal care
and household products are things that people need,
use and offer as gifts to others every day.
Flexibility! You are not asking
your supporters to spend additional dollars from their budget; you
are only asking them to change brands. They will not be
asked to buy a case of something they don't usually purchase
or something they don't really want. There is sufficient
variety in our product line to meet the needs and wants of every
member of the family.
- Quality! Watkins' 100%
Satisfaction Guarantee was
the first of its kind in North America and assures you continual
support for your programs.
- Experience! We like to say we are old
because we are good; not good because we are old. Since our
foundation in 1868, many service clubs, charitable organizations,
teams, church and school groups have used Watkins Products
to reach their fundraising goals.
- Service! Watkins makes available all
the materials and support your organization needs for a successful
fundraiser.
- Profit! Watkins offers your organization
the opportunity to make more money. Because you are offering
products used in millions of households daily, your average order
will increase over time; and so will your profit. Your
non-profit organization will earn between 19% and 33% of all
orders; providing a steady stream of income once your supporters
switch their shopping to Watkins products.
- Simplicity! Your supporters order
directly from Watkins Inc. using a catalogue or a website. They
can order online, by 800#, fax or mail. You don't have
canvassers (a real safety concern, especially where children are
involved), you collect no money, you handle no merchandise
and you make no
deliveries!

Watkins helps
reduce the costs of running a Fundraiser!
Watkins Inc. is proud
to introduce a revolutionary, risk free fundraising opportunity. Nonprofit
organizations receive a free web site where supporters can visit, read
about the organization's goals and activities, and support those goals
with purchases of Watkins quality products. Your organization's free web
site links directly to Watkins’ online catalog giving your supporters
access to over 350 Watkins products. All sales generated through your site
will benefit your organization. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to
personalize their own web sites and use the home page to share their
mission and fundraising goals (all through a simple to use online
editor). There is absolutely no financial risk for your
organization and it provides an ongoing method of
fundraising.

Consider The Following Example:
Let's assume that between your membership and
their friends and family you can count on 500 people to support your
efforts. If each of them ordered only $30.00 worth of Watkins
Products; products that they are already buying at the grocery or
drug store, that would result in $15,000 in sales. Assuming
the minimum percentage of 19%; that would yield $2,850 dollars for
your organization (at 33% you would have $4,950). If this were
a one-time fundraiser that would probably not be too bad!
But... Since we are talking about every day products that people
use up and re-purchase, this activity
could go on month after month after
month!
And, satisfied members will refer
others to your site so that your fundraising income would continue
to rise as your support
base expands! | We would be pleased to answer any questions you may have
