How should a team fundraise with the FIRST E-Watt Saver LED Bulbs?

[Mike Wittman]

Sell them on the benefits. Honestly $20.00 is a bargain just do the math. Add to that the environmental impact it is a win for everyone. I think the reality is that the program will start with family and friends then slowly expand from there.

I was in a store recently that is selling LED light bulbs for $30.00 each. Seems like a hard sell sitting on the shelf next to compact flourescents for $4-6 each but they are out there. They are selling the benefits including the lifetime cost savings.

We are selling and have been selling our bulbs at $20 a piece unless someone wants to buy a large quantity (working with our school for a possible order) with decent success. I believe we've sold two cases thus far and are planning on selling more at a fundraiser this weekend.

For those who think $20 is too expensive, you can find the same exact bulb at Home Depot, just not in FIRST packaging, selling for $24.
