How Do Mums Help Boost Fall Fundraising Success?

Premium Fall Mums for Fundraising

JOCO Growers has devoted our business to helping local fundraisers succeed. We want to provide fundraisers with premium-quality flowers that can help boost sales year over year. By providing high-quality products grown in a local greenhouse, your fundraiser will offer donors a product that leaves a positive impression. A fall mum fundraiser helps schools, nonprofits, and other community organizations raise money to create better programming and opportunities for the people they serve.

Offering premium fall flowers means you’re providing a quality service that competes with big-box stores. By showing your supporters that you offer a premium product, you can boost your sales and get repeat support for future fundraisers. If you have questions about our fundraising program or want to start planning your next fundraiser with JOCO Growers, reach out to us today!

Why Choose Flowers for Your Fall Fundraiser

We see flowers as the ultimate fundraising item for multiple reasons. Many people buy flowers regularly, whether that be for holidays or for seasonal decor. Mum flowers in the fall make an excellent fundraiser because many people plan to purchase them already, and instead of buying flowers from a big box retailer, they now have the option to help a local organization.

Why Mums Are The Perfect Fall Flower

Fall mums have long been, and continue to be, an iconic decorative staple in the fall. Mums are as common as sunflowers in the summertime, and many people buy them annually. Grocery stores and garden centers often sell mums that are annuals, meaning they won’t regrow year after year. Even perennial mums are often left outside and don’t make it once the freezing temperatures begin. People buy them annually as ornamental seasonal flowers. Because people are likely to purchase mums anyway, the idea of buying them is already planted in their minds. Instead of giving their money to a big box garden center, they can help your organization raise money to benefit their local community.

These flowers are a perfect item to sell for fundraising because customers will return every year to help a nonprofit or a good cause, meaning you can grow the number of supporters you have each year for your fundraiser. You may also have them return for each flower fundraiser you organize throughout the entire year.

Planning & Fundraising Tactics

Fundraising ideas can be hard to narrow down. It’s important to find an item that is unique enough to draw in supporters while also being common enough that it feels familiar. Selling an obscure item may intrigue some, but it can alienate many potential supporters. Choosing the right product, and even the right flower, for the season is key. With our extensive experience providing flowers for fundraisers, the team at JOCO Growers understands what works. Reduce stress by working with a greenhouse you can trust, and you know they can deliver. JOCO Growers has dedicated 100% of our greenhouse grow space for fundraising. We exclusively work with local fundraisers and strictly avoid big box retailers. We build lasting relationships with schools and churches, as well as nonprofit organizations. We offer flowers for fundraising throughout the year, so you can provide high-quality flowers for supporters every season. Go into your fundraiser with confidence, knowing you’re offering a great product in exchange for the money and support from your community.

Building A Successful Fundraiser

Selecting the right flower for your fundraiser is only the beginning. In order to build a successful fundraiser, you have to plan from start to finish. Planning your fundraiser starts with setting a realistic goal. By setting a clear financial goal, you can better understand the parameters that you are working with, which in turn will help guide you on what tactics you should implement. This will include things like having students help fundraise, throwing a fundraising event, fundraising at an existing event or market, and more. After you’ve created a plan of what you’re doing, your plans on how to execute will begin to take shape. This will include things like creating a marketing plan (flyers, posters, social media, etc.) and recruiting a team to assist you. Fundraising for a local organization takes a team of volunteers who are ready and willing to help! By recruiting staff members, parents, families, students, and organization members, you can create a solid foundation for a successful fundraiser. By implementing these fundraising tactics, you are setting your fundraiser up for success!

JOCO Grower’s Fundraiser Philosophy

With 100% of our growing space fully dedicated to fundraising, the JOCO Growers team is proud to play a small part in the growth of our community. All of the flowers we grow are sold to fundraisers in the surrounding area, and we never work with big box stores. It’s our goal to make a difference through our passion and bring success to the fundraisers we work with. Instead of selling items people don’t want or need, we offer them something they are excited to purchase. Flowers are an excellent purchase during the spring and fall because of holidays and seasonal decor. It’s our goal throughout the fundraising process to simplify each step so fundraising organizations can focus on boosting fundraising sales. Fall mum sales bring money to your fundraiser and help provide for your organization.
