Fortune Cookies
A Novel Fundraising Idea
And a Great Way of Promoting Your Charity
Fortune Cookies make a simple fundraiser at any event. They can also be used as a novel and effective way of promoting your church, school or charity.
A fortune cookie is a triangular shaped cookie made of flour, sugar, butter, vanilla and milk. Inside each crisp cookie is a small slip of paper with "The Fortune". The fortune is usually either a straight prediction, words of wisdom or a proverb.Increasingly companies are using them for promotions, the cookies containing marketing messages or advertisments. This option is also open of course to non profit organisations. Increasingly charities, school PTAs and church fundraising groups are using them as a novel fundraising idea, or way of promoting themselves.
How do I make fortune cookies?
You don't.
There are loads of companies who will make them for you. A Google search will easily find them. They are not too expensive and you can buy surprisingly small quantities. They also come individually wrapped. The messages inside can be general or personalised for your organisation or event. This is a very competitive market so shop around and haggle. Don't forget to ask for charity rates etc.
As a fundraiser
These funny little cookies make a novel fundraising idea at any event. Add to the fun by dressing in oriental garb and offering the cookies on a nice platter. "Who can resist the chance to learn what the future holds?"As a Promotional Tool
These work particularly well if you have something special to promote. Simply include the details on The Paper. In particular they work really well promoting new web-sites. Simply include the URL and an incentive for clicking on a particular page. Lucky numbers that need to be checked against those on a web-page are a great way to launch your new web-site or collect email addresses for future send outs.
So if you are after a novel fundraising idea or promotion that will get you noticed give fortune cookies a try. "Who knows what the future may hold!"
