Cookies vs Coffee—Which Works Best?

Fundraising is essential for schools, clubs, and nonprofits, and finding the right product can significantly impact your success. Two popular choices for seasonal fundraising are cookies and coffee, each offering unique benefits. Let’s dive into the advantages of both, helping you decide which suits your next fundraiser best.

Fundraising Cookies: Sweet and Simple

Benefits:

  1. Broad Appeal:
    Cookies are universally loved. An easy sell, why chip, when you can chunk?

  2. Year-Round:
    Cookies are perfect for fundraisers any time of the year, typically the best time of year to fundraise is the festive holiday season.

  3. Variety:
    We offer a wide range of Cookie Dough flavours, and even doggie dough! 

  4. Low Commitment:
    Cookies are relatively inexpensive, and people are more likely to make impulse purchases for themselves or as gifts. 1.2kg (2.7lbs) baked into 48 cookies, what is not to like?

  5. Profit Margin:
    Up to a 40% profit margin has made the most successful returns.

Fundraising Coffee: Energy Boost for the Season

Benefits:

  1. Seasonal Demand:
    Coffee is a great fundraising option for those who want to run a smaller campaign with less commitment. The demand for these holiday staples makes them easier to sell.

  2. Community Support:
    Buying a bag of coffee for a fundraiser aligns with most folks who would purchase a bag at their local grocery store, instead, many customers enjoy supporting local organizations during the holiday season..

  3. Limited Competition:
    Coffee fundraising is a great alternative and sells well with Cookie Dough.

  4. Profits:
    Coffee has a 30% profit margin and offers everyone a quick energy boost!
