Re: Help with Funding

The Hexbugs from IFI are selling themselves.....really ....we cant hold on to them. You make 5 bucks a bug. We have only had them a week and have sold almost 10 cases.

Just curious as to where you have been selling them.

Team 1511 is selling Hex Bugs too, with the same flying off of the shelf scenario. The mentors and parents are selling them in their workplaces and team members are selling them at school and in their neighborhoods. They make excellent Christmas stocking stuffers or Chanukah gifts, or just for fun!

Smile Re: Help with Funding

Same thing as Cynette. Parents and mentors are taking them to work. Kids are selling them in school (not officially, just out of their backpacks) and to neighbors. We did have a booth at a middle school winter carnival last weekend as well. I think we sold about 40 of them there. My husband took them into work and his company bought 50 of them for the company store.

You can purchase the bugs from IFI...there is a thread on Chiefdelphi about them.

I've heard rumors that SPAM has sold over 26 cases. I highly recommend this fundraiser.

Re: Help with Funding

Awesome! I hope that our team ends up doing this fundraiser.

(26*165=$4290 which is not too bad )
