The Gardener’s Gadget Fundraising Program

The Gardener’s Gadget is the versatile gardening tool that will not rust or bend. Digging, cultivating, scooping and measuring can all be done with this convenient tool. Every gardener should have one as this solid aluminum cultivator and spade combination will last a lifetime.

The Gardener’s Gadget, at 14-1/2” long, is big enough to handle most gardening jobs, yet light enough to be used easily. The spade is marked on the back at one, two, three and four inch intervals so that seeds and bulbs may be planted at the proper depth. The cultivator has five strong tines 1-1/2 inches long. The contoured handle is made to be comfortable to your hand.

This high quality, versatile product would be a wonderful change for your organization’s fundraiser this year.

Below are some proven planning techniques that have worked well for groups and organizations in their fund-raising ventures. You can choose one technique or use them all, whatever fits your needs. The bottom line is to get the product to the customers .. then the Gardener’s Gadget will sell itself.

Church Groups .. When these groups sponsor booths at church socials, town fairs or carnivals, they are putting in their time and effort to make a profit for their organization. In addition to the work of staffing the booth during the event, is the added job of making food dishes, crafts or other items for sale. If there are left over items, then there is additional work to pack up and store or separate and distribute the items back to their original location. It would be so easy to place an order for the Gardener’s Gadgets, put them on display and let the product sell itself. If by chance you have some left after the event, simply return the unopened boxes for credit.*

Garden Clubs .. Many neighborhoods still have a local gardening club, so why not use the Gardener’s Gadget as a fund-raising opportunity for each member to add to the club treasury. Or as a twist, they can be offered to the members of the club as prizes for effort, achievement or attendance. Using the Gardener’s Gadget as a fundraiser gives the public an opportunity to buy a little something at the Home & Garden Show or the floral arrangement demonstration where ordinarily nothing else is for sale.

Arts & Crafts Fair .. Some towns hold annual or semi- annual events to sell unique, handmade items like embroidery, knitted articles, quilts, paintings and ceramics along with other handcrafted items such as furniture, baskets, toys and candles. These wonderful one-of-a-kind items draw a lot of interest and will bring people to the event ~ why not take advantage of this and set up YOUR booth with a display of Gardener’s Gadgets. You can get the product straight from the factory very quickly, without spending your precious time to create or package each item for sale, and you get more profit on your investment. This is a great project for youth, church groups, or fire/police departments as there is practically no time consumed in preparing the products to sell .. simply Order, Display, and Profit.  

Schools .. Elementary and high schools, as well as individual school teams hold several fundraisers through- out the school year (band groups, PTA, cheerleaders, athletic teams, etc.) Instead of selling the same old stuff year after year, why not make a change this spring or fall and promote the outdoors by selling the Gardener’s Gadget. Parents, extended family members and friends would all be excited to see a change from the same high priced items and food products that are being sold by many different school groups. Your group could be the one to bring in the most profit, simply by offering something different.

Youth Groups .. The annual 4-H Fair draws a wide range of potential customers from farmers and gardeners to home- makers, all of which would make a great opportunity for your youth group to sell some of the Gardener’s Gadgets. Your booth can easily be set up with a hands-on display for all who pass by to “try it". They will be amazed at how lightweight and manageable the solid aluminum Gardener’s Gadget is and want to purchase one on the spot. These items are very portable and can be sent door to door with each Boy or Girl Scout without a lot of fuss or trouble. If you have any left over after the fundraiser is over, just return the unopened boxes for credit,* your group will not have to worry about taking a loss for not selling them all.
