selling pins

Easy Fundraising Ideas

•Buy 100 Clothesline Pins© @ $3.00 each, sell them each for $10.00 and make $700.00 profit! Some agencies have sold them
for $20.00 - that's $1,400 profit! You know your market, so you choose.

•Enlist your board members or other volunteers to contact local shop owners to support your agency by selling the pins.
A basket of Clothesline Pins© next the cash register is an easy impulse buy, especially during
Christmas, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. Your volunteers can collect the money once a month.
Most shop owners are happy to support a local and meaningful cause and do not ask for a cut of the proceeds.

•Sponsor a Clothesline Project and use the proceeds from the sale of Clothesline Pins© to support the event,
and then sell the pins at the event. To learn more about how to begin a Clothesline Project visit: http://clotheslineproject.org/.

•Organize a Take Back the Night rally and use the proceeds from the sale of Clothesline Pins© to support the event,
and then sell the pins at the event. To learn more about how to organize a Take Back the Night rally visit: http://www.takebackthenight.org/.

•Sell Clothesline Pins© through your agency web site, annual meetings or newsletter.

•Always wear a Clothesline Pin© and have a few in your pocket or purse. When people ask you about your pin, and they will,
you can sell them one and let them know about your services.

•Contact your local newspaper and ask for a feature story to be written about your agency and/or your special event.
Highlight the sale of Clothesline Pins© in the article, letting folks know where they can buy them.
