REW, do you are anyone know of even ONE school, band or PTA that has the cards and are selling them or has the cards on order. I know you said something about 2000 schools. I am just wondering if anyone on this thread knows even one of those 2000 schools. My kids have been selling candy and wrapping paper during the past two weeks. They are using products from Sally Foster organization. My kids attend a private school.

REW, I know you trying to be conservative when you say this, "Further assuming the schools split the fundraising to 3 product strategies and they all get the same return rate, make it 4 so TSIG gets 25% of the results of the total school efforts." The elementary school principal I talked to made an emphatic point about how he wanted to do one project that raised $20-25,000, promote the project strongly, start early, and get it done. He said they had tried doing several smaller projects, but the problem is that you are never done with it. It all drags out forever. .......When you consider that the typical middle school and high school are larger than the typical elementary school, that older children are going to be more effective salespersons than little children, the figure of $25,000 per school is conservative. Also, with older children, they are more likely to be involved in some activity in which they benefit more directly from the fundraising. I talked to a parent this morning whose high school son wants to go on the school trip to Australia. Think they need some fundraising?......According to the elementary school principle I talked to, a school would not be satisfied with raising $2-3,000; thus our earlier estimates may have been lowballing.
