The School Year is Here!
School bells are starting to ring, the PTO budgets are being discussed, and sports boosters are kicking off fundraisers over the next few weeks at the start of another school year. Fundraising programs happen to be the central theme of any school group supporting the arts, athletics, or enhanced academics. Getting a new fundraising idea to sell to any one of these groups, however, takes a bit of novelty combined with a lot of planning and teamwork to reach an agreement. Especially in light of school budgets being squeezed along with students' and parents' schedules being squeezed tightly as well, it's make-it or break-it with trying new fundraising programs. One shining fundraising program stands out from the pack though for its beauty, nostalgia, and class. How Treasured Scenes Collectibles Become Effective School Fundraisers
Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder
No one can deny the apparent attraction they feel towards the Treasured Scenes fundraising ornaments at first glance. Free display packaging keeps each ornament on view of your buyers while protecting the collectible from bumps or breakage.
Surpassing the packaging, the hand-drawn details in each collectible's artwork make each Treasured Scenes fundraiser magical, as collectors who purchase them from your school organization see the feature subject image on the collectible in a whole new perspective. Perhaps a historic building in your city is revealed in its original form shortly after it was built, or a person famous is featured for his or her contributions to your region, or a piece of art created by a student is used. There are hundreds of ways the subject image you choose can make an ornament fundraiser, collectors plate fundraiser, afghan fundraiser, pillow fundraiser, collectors mug fundraiser, tote bag fundraiser, trivet fundraiser, or collectors coin fundraiser popular beyond your imagination.
Marketing Support
Keystone Specialties, the company behind Treasured Scenes, provides marketing support materials for each Treasured Scenes fundraiser. After the artwork is designed and approved for your collectible fundraiser, a template email will be sent to your school group's contact person with several fundraiser marketing materials. These materials include:
Media Release Template (For online/print newspapers and broadcast)
Promotional Flier Template (For printing and posting in permitted locations)
Inventory Control Sheet (For tracking inventory of collectibles sent to locations for retail)
Pre-Order Sheet (To take orders before collectibles are delivered (Upon request))
Digital Image of Your Collectible (For inserting into your own email templates and print material)
Social Media Guide (For promoting your fundraiser on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc.)

How to Raise More Funds than Ever for Your School Group
By releasing a new custom fundraising ornament, collectors plate, collectors coin, or other fundraising collectible annually, your school group's fundraiser becomes many times more profitable. Plus the general public, school students, faculty, and parents can anticipate an exciting new edition of your fundraising collectible to be released each year.
There are many ideas to create a successful annual fundraiser by choosing subject images with a similar theme for each edition. These themes could be famous writers featured in literature studies, championship teams' mascots from your school, art created by students and reproduced on the collectibles, national flags for foreign exchange students who are residents at your school for the year, your state's historical sites, your city's cultural attributes, environmental features of your region, and many other themes. It is only a drop of creativity needed to create a flood of successful fundraising collectibles.
How to Start with Your School Fundraiser
First of all, see some of the fundraising programs available through the Treasured Scenes collectibles. Choose a collectors coin fundraiser, custom trivet, custom tote bags, custom collectors mugs, custom woven pillows, custom afghans, custom collectors plates, or custom Christmas ornament such as glass ball ornaments, etched metal ornaments, porcelain ornaments, ceramic ornaments, acrylic ornaments, or even picture frame ornaments.
After selecting which collectible will become your school's fundraiser, have the committee members in your group vote on a subject image, or even hold a competition among the students to submit ideas that they can all vote on after all the submissions have been received. Outline the goal of your fundraiser and the purpose of the image used for your school's fundraising program. Here's how to get started:
3. Order your fundraising collectibles. (You'll receive an art proof of your fundraising item for your group's approval before they are made, plus all the free marketing materials).
Easy school fundraisers don't have to be the same as every year past. While candy bars, car washes, and gift wrap can add to your funds at different points of the school year, adding a custom collectible with artistic or historical value can add thousands of dollars more to your budget every school year.
