Is the Living Color Fundraiser successful, like the gift wrap, pizza, candy, etc. we have been selling for years?
Based on participant feedback, Living Color Fundraisers are as successful, if not more successful, than many other products. The idea of a “green” fundraiser, one that promotes nature’s beauty, is a major trend across the United States.
Is there a minimum order?
There is a minimum order of 48 live plant items. If you do not sell 48 items you will be charged a $100 under minimum fee.
Our organization only has a few members. Will the Living Color Fundraiser work for us?
A successful fundraiser does not depend on the number of people in your organization. We like telling the story about one eleven-year- old who sold over $1,000 worth of Living Color Fundraiser plants by himself.
Can we expect our Living Color plants to arrive at our facility in good condition?
All Living Color Fundraiser product is guaranteed to arrive in excellent condition. To avoid damage during the shipping process, all Living Color Fundraiser plants are packaged securely in containers specifically engineered to protect them. If you have an issue with a plant (or plants), send us a picture, and we will replace or refund you for that product.
We have a lot of greenhouses and nurseries in our area, will that hurt our fundraiser or will we hurt their business?
Holding a living color fundraiser will have a positive effect. The Living Color Fundraiser's parent company, Raker-Roberta's Young Plants, is one of the premium suppliers of live plants to the horticulture industry. Most greenhouses know our product is very high value and are excited their customers have access to our plants.
How many people normally buy plants or flowers?
We know that on average, 95% of all households buy plants at least once a year. Plants are usually bought to give as a gift or to use at home / work.
Does a Living Color Fundraiser work year-after-year?
Yes. Our sales data shows that the program actually becomes more successful the longer a group participates. After your supporters experience our unmatched quality, they will begin asking when the next Living Color Fundraiser is taking place. In addition, we continuously introduce new plant genetics and product ideas each year to keep the program dynamic.
