Operation: Cadbury Fundraiser

The freddo frogs have arrived, hoorah!

What:

There are twelve boxes worth of cadbury goods to be sold but there's
8 carrier boxes the non-freddo goods (i.e. timeouts, cherry ripes
nougat logs and summer rolls) have been added to each carrier box.

That means there's around 1 box for each family. I think it's best that we only sell one box
each to begin with to see how long it takes for them to sell as - other than the fact that
we are all very busy - I've spoken to some people already in the business who say that
they're selling at a steady but not-as-fast-as-they-could-or-should-be rate.

Prices:

The unit selling price is $1.20 (including time outs, crunchies, cherry ripes etc.). Inside each
carrier box is an envelope for the money made and details for you to fill out. Once you've sold
as many as you can within the next 28 days then that envelope is to be sealed and returned to
me along with the freddoes that didn't make it. :(

Implications of this operation for the Crew:

We're expected to make around $360.00 from this drive which really shouldn't be that hard to do.
Once Cadbury have been paid their $360 we can bank ours and use $240 to return Owen's money
which leaves us with $100.

If this is a successful operation and people are still keen to fund raise this way then we shall do it again
and sell more boxes. But i'll see the full details for the maximum you can sell with Cadbury and how
often you can do it.

Tips For Selling:

The site has some good tips for selling them http://www.fundraising.com.au
One idea is to give the box to you're parents who can sell it at work (which is what i plan to do) and
they seem to sell quite well there. But i'm sure most of you have a good idea of what do, if not have
already done it before.

IMPORTANT DETAILS:

Cadbury need to be paid 28 days after today so i'll need the money back before than as
well as a tally of the freddoes and other goods you sold but i'll know what you originally had in your boxes anyway.
(Obviously this is important as the boxes have to be mixed for variety.)

I've got a tally sheet to keep a record of sales and money made. Could everyone please send
me their telephone numbers so i can ring you if necessary before the due date of Monday the 8th of June.

To make things easier, it'd be great if you could bring the money and unsold goods the thursday we meet
that is Thursday the 4th of June. Otherwise get i'll need the day before that Monday.

If there are any problems please give me a ring or email me.

They shall be ready to be collected at the den this thursday.

-Jon
