Door to Door Business Fundraising Help
So tomorrow I'm planning on going door to door to downtown businesses and soliciting donations and sponsorship for Shaker Robotics. Here's the thing, though - I have NO idea how to do it.
I've got a few dozen donation solicitation letters and forms that could be useful, and I've got a solid robotics team with some good selling points for sponsors. For example, "my team's 2010 robot and two of our team members are featured in a video playing in DMVs across the state of New York - your logo could be on that robot!" However, I'm not sure how to get my foot in the door and how to talk to the right person in the business to get a pitch going.
Does anyone have any tips? How would you go about doing this?
