For many students, the high school prom is one of the defining moments of their high school career, and the season is quickly approaching. With prom planning in full swing and amazing ideas being creatively crafted for the best night of the year, prom fundraising ideas that bring this special occasion to life are essential. A successful prom is possible with efficient, accessible, and easy fundraising endeavors.
Utilize Social Media
Nowadays, the use of social media is prevalent throughout daily life. Advertising fundraising activities via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many other platforms allows students and fundraisers to bring awareness to their school’s prom. Social media creates a personable presence that individuals are more likely to support in the long run. To fully utilize the power of social media, try the following methods to spread the word about your school’s prom fundraising endeavors:
-
Use Facebook to post fundraising updates, goals, and events
-
Share progress photos on Instagram
-
Tweet to local businesses about your prom fundraising ideas, and how they can support
Website creation is now more affordable and easier than ever. Create a small website for your school’s prom, with links to social media platforms and fundraising sites like FlipGive. FlipGive has an existing and user-friendly website that allows individuals to support fundraisers by purchasing items that they need, all year long.
Make Fundraising Personal
Ease into fundraising by connecting with individuals that are closest to you. Uncles, aunts, cousins, parents, and friends all want to help make prom a success for their loved ones, and donating towards prom is an easy way to do so. Explain your fundraising methods, how they can donate, and the plans in place to make your prom the best that it can be.
Offer Practical Fundraising
Fundraising purchases and impracticality sometimes go hand in hand. People don’t want to buy more candy, over-priced items, or belongings that are unessential to their lifestyle. For your prom fundraising, offer a variety of high-quality items, from brands that people know and trust.
Formal Wear Fundraising
Organize a fundraiser that gives back in more than one way. Invite prom attendees to shop for their formal wear through one of the amazing brands that have partnered with FlipGive. From the Hudson’s Bay Company to Anthropologie, FlipGive is sure to have formal wear suited to any style.
FlipGive allows fundraisers to quickly create a fundraising page for their team or event, and allows people to donate while shopping popular brands that they already love. End the awkward donation conversations by inviting friends and family to shop your FlipGive fundraising page, hassle-free. Start your prom fundraising early by visiting FlipGive online or by calling 1-844-GET-FLIP.
