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

Our team is going to a home show and offering a discount of $19.99 each and 2 for $30. We are developing bulk discounts of 10% off for 5 and over, 20% off for 10 and over, 20 and over we will work with the customer to develop a reasonable cost. What other discounts are people offering. By the way, Home Depot in our area is selling them for $28 plus tax.

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

Sorry for the late reply, so far I sold a couple of bulbs. I find selling that selling to teachers can work well. I sold a bulb to a teenager, but only at $15. I told my teacher that she isn't buying the bulb, but receiving it as a donation gift instead, my teacher replied that was a good line to say.

I was just watching in the Sacramento Regional that Team 2456, Team Recycle It!, really took the initiative in the program. They sold 100+ bulbs to a luxury hotel, the team says said it helps with maintenance costs, and the best places to sell bulbs are offices and hotels.
