Pre-event planning
Avoid scheduling the event on a date that interferes with other activities.
For schools, engage your principal, teachers, PTO leadership, and staff to encourage participation and generate enthusiasm for the event among students and parents.
Start early and inform as many people as possible of the date and time of your event.
Create a Facebook event page and encourage your friends to share the event. Link to Blue Baker’s fan page or website (BlueBaker.com).
Email a jpeg image of your organization to comments@bluebaker.com so we can promote your event on our Facebook page.
Recruit friends and volunteers from within your organization to promote the event and attend.
Communicate your group’s fundraising goal and explain how the fundraiser will benefit your organization. If your fundraising goal is met, consider offering a reward that is fun and creative.
Distribute flyers and posters to your supporters at least two weeks in advance.
Send students home with a visual reminder about the event (stickers are effective).
