Fundraisers
Disciple’s Cross functions perfectly for fundraisers because this assembly craft job allows your volunteers to take their part of the fundraiser home to work on. Then, your organization can either sell the crosses at your fundraiser or sell them back to us.
A local fundraiser is a great way to get exposure for your business and promote your ministry at the same time. Many different clubs and organizations are in constant need to raise money. You can offer them the Disciple's Cross™ necklaces at a wholesale price and they can sell them for a retail price and keep the difference.
- Church youth groups are particularly interested in this type of fundraiser to raise money for summer camp, trips or even missions outreaches.
- Sports teams are constantly raising money for traveling tournaments. From little league to collegiate teams, we have seen DC fundraising work.
- School clubs raise money for competition entry, traveling expenses and more.
- Mission Trips are something DC wholeheartedly supports and realizes that it takes fundraisers for the world to be reached with the great commission.
- Charities can come to Disciple’s Cross to raise money and it’s easy for everyone involved. You can meet monthly and gather everyone’s completed crosses then, or stay for an hour after your weekly meetings to create the crosses together. These allow great flexibility for your volunteers.
- FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) A huge national organization for athletes can use this necklace to show their faith. They can make it during group meetings and use them to raise money for the club, while equipping more students with the power of the cross.
Craft Fairs
We have been very successful at craft fairs and local festivals. You will probably have to pay a nominal cost for a booth but you will usually get a great deal of exposure. Since people at craft fairs are looking for less than retail prices you will have better success selling them for $7.50 each or two for $10.00. It also creates more interest if you are sitting by your booth assembling the crosses while people are walking by. Remember to have a couple of display stands on hand.
Clubs
Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) clubs provide a great venue for high school fundraisers. You may also talk to the coaches and club sponsors. Here is where the ability to make crosses in custom colors really comes to your aide. You can make them in the school colors plus any number of color combinations.
Local Churches
Many churches have some sort of bookstore. Since the Disciple's Cross™ is a non-denominational item you will find that many churches will be interested in carrying them.
Local Christian Bookstores
Sure, we have many bookstore accounts but the market is still wide open for an independent producer like yourself to personally meet a bookstore owner and ask them to display your Disciple's Crosses™. The important thing here is to develop a relationship of trust with the bookstore owner and always provide them with new inventory when they are running low. I've even been invited to conduct live demonstrations in the stores to raise interest. This is always fun and the bookstore owners appreciate your participation.
Various Shops and Boutiques
This beautiful item sells just about anywhere. We have them in feed stores, jewelry shops, beauty salons and even bakeries. Anywhere there is retail traffic people will take interest in these cross necklaces.
