10 Tips for a Successful and Profitable Fundraising Event!
- Get several high profile students and/or well-liked teachers/professors to volunteer to be hypnotized at the show. Advertise this school wide.
- Put up posters at other schools within a 25 mile radius of the show location.
- Make tickets available for presale at a discounted rate ($2.00 is normal). Allow ticket sales at multiple locations and advertise the locations and times at least a week in advance.
- Place an advertisement in the local school paper. Have the show mentioned on daily announcements and email distributions to students and staff. If possible, have them interview the entertainer.
- Play a demo video in the cafeteria or high traffic location at least a week before the show.
- Have local radio stations and the school station do an interview with the entertainer. Recommend a popular DJ be hypnotized for promotion.
- Get local businesses to help advertise your event. Be sure to recognize the businesses that helped you promote during the show introductions.
- Create a fundraising event by teaming up with a local non profit agency and make a charitable donation to that agency on behalf of your school from the profits.
- Team up with other similar organization, clubs, or schools to maximize the attendance at your event.
- Give consideration to entertainers that have a ticket split or fundraising program. This option will provide you with a “Risk-Free” night of entertainment without the stress of the possibility of losing money.
