Quick –
Depending on which fundraiser or fundraisers
you decide to do, so that we know where to mail profit checks or ship
collection materials or chocolate to, there is one universal
registration page with a standard series of questions to identify your
school or organization.
Once the registration page is complete, there are just two more steps to launch your “Green” Products Fundraiser:
- Decide how long the fundraiser will run for. You can:
- choose a specific “Termination” Date, if you’d like your fundraiser to end after a certain period of time, or
- check
off the box to let it run indefinitely. For as long as there’s activity
in your account, we’ll continue to mail off a bi-weekly profit check to
you.
- Decide how your sales will be tracked. You can:
- use
the single Master Code Number that is automatically assigned to your
group after checking off the “Green” Products Fundraiser box. You may
issue that Master Code Number to all the “Potential Sellers” of your
group with the idea that they will pass it on to everyone they know
that they hope will visit the website to support your fundraiser. Once
a supporter of your fundraiser enters that Master Code Number at the
“Help My Fundraiser” page, any buying activity will be collectively
credited to your group by virtue of that Master Code Number. Or
- create a separate Sub-code Number for each
of your Potential Sellers* to see how many people they are driving to
the website. This allows you to also track the progress of each
Potential Seller. To do so, simply enter the first and last name of
each of those Potential Sellers. Please Note: their names will not
appear anywhere on the website for public viewing. The only
place to see their names is at the “My Account” page, which is only
accessible with a Username and Password that you create. Since names
will never be revealed, we highly recommend using this method so that
you can get a more accurate assessment of how your overall fundraiser
is doing.
* A “Potential Seller” is member of your group who might participate
in your fundraiser (i.e. send out emails or make phone calls to people
they or family members know, and provide their Sub-code Number or your
Master Code Number to, and then encourage them to visit CrunchTime.org
to support your fundraiser.

Easy –
There are no catalogs to look through, products to order, receive, sort
through and then distribute to your group members, no money to collect
and deposit, and no checks to write. All that’s needed on your part is
a little sideline coaching to help get your group to drive people to
the CrunchTime website.
Through the “My Account” page you can monitor the entire fundraiser and
see any new activity, immediately. You can easily learn which customers
were directed to the site by which group members, what they bought, the
total purchase price, and the profit your group realizes from each
sale.
TOP |
Profitable –
There are nearly 400 well-categorized products for people to choose
from with prices that range from less than one dollar to just over
$100. Your group’s Profit Margin varies somewhat, but most are above
50%. Needless-to-say, you don’t need to make the same Profit Margin on
a $100 item as you do on a $1 item. Trying to generate a 50% Profit
Margin on a “big ticket” item would drive the price up to a point where
it would be priced out of the market.
Not only does this fundraiser allow you to leverage your time, but with
a little planning you can leverage your resources to accomplish amazing
results. You might consider a having some sort of friendly competition
to see which member of your group can a.) come up with the most people
to contact, b.) drive the most people to the website, and c.) generate
the most number of sales or highest dollar volume, or both.
At the check out section of the website is a box where supporters of
your fundraiser can enter up to 10 email addresses of people they know
who they think would admire the novelty of the fundraiser, the type of
products offered, and appreciate the organization and cause the money
is being raised for. One thing that oftentimes is not taken into
consideration are some of the intangible benefits of the “Green”
Products Fundraiser. Your time commitment is a small percent of what it
would be for virtually any other fundraiser. Plus, by conducting the
entire fundraiser online, as you’ll learn more in the next section,
you’re helping to keep our young people out of harms way.

Safe –
Let’s face it, we live in uncertain times. The last thing you want to
do is subject members of your group to a situation that could put them
in danger. The Internet is a powerful tool that allows us to accomplish
things on a computer that we never would have dreamed of just ten years
ago.

Quick –
The entire online catalog is broken down into just six categories.
Virtually all of the products are items that you’re probably already
using in your home or home office.
If you’re not taking an active role in safeguarding planet Earth—the only home we will ever know—for
the next generation, here’s a chance to quickly replace a variety of
items in your home with environmentally-friendly equivalents. The
intangible benefits are priceless.
TOP
Easy –
If you’ve ever shopped for anything online, this whole experience
should be second nature to you. Once you enter a Fundraising Code
Number and proceed to the online catalog, you might forget you’re even
supporting a group’s efforts to raise money for a worthwhile cause.
There is one small twist at the end of the Check Out process. You get
to choose from a dozen different recognized Conservation Organizations,
which one you would like to see CrunchTime donate a percent of its
profits to.

Cost-effective –
Where else can you contribute to a group’s fundraising efforts and reap
a financial windfall on that investment? Many of the products offered
through our online catalog will pay for themselves in a surprisingly
short period of time, and continue to save you money for the
foreseeable future. Many of our products focus on energy and water
conservation. They will reduce the amount of electricity, fuel and/or
water that you use, thus reducing your utility bills for the time they
are in place.
Products such as compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) will last up to
12 times longer than their incandescent counterparts, all the while
using a third as much electricity. The savings are huge. A low flow
showerhead not only uses less water, it uses less hot water, meaning
you won’t have to fire your hot water heater nearly as often.

Safe –
During CrunchTime’s 12 years in business, we’ve heard some horrific
stories about child abductions. One in particular involved a young boy
who, while fundraising door-to-door in his immediate neighborhood, was
invited inside a stranger’s house after knocking on his door. He was
never seen alive after that.
Start-to-finish, this entire fundraiser can be conducting online. By
supporting this fundraiser, you’ll be endorsing fundraisers that make
an effort to keep our young people out of harms way. On behalf of the
school or organization that directed you to this site, we hope that you
will take part in a fundraiser that truly is a win win win situation:
A group earns the money they need for a worthwhile cause; you invest in
products that will save you money and/or improve the quality of the
environment. Little time, effort or energy is expended to complete this
fundraiser.
