Fundraising with Rancho Vignola New Crop Nuts & Dried Fruit
First of all, our business operates once a year only, importing the best new crop nuts and dried fruit from California into our British Columbia warehouse where all orders are processed and shipped out. We publish a wholesale price list every year in early September which lists all products in full-case amounts and in "split cases" of 5-lb bags. Wholesale prices for full cases are the same as those a retail grocery or health food store would pay, which means there's lots of room for marking up prices for re-sale to generate fundraising income. The wholesale price list always has a firm order deadline near the end of September.
Make Up to 70% Profit Margin!
Fundraising groups usually purchase our products in full cases, but offer their members smaller packages on a customized retail price list/order form at marked-up prices (see "sample" fundraising price list). The difference in price between the wholesale price per pound and the retail package price per pound is the mark-up, usually around 45-70%, which are standard fundraising mark-ups.
Depending on the package size, these mark-ups represent the profit your group can generate.
Purchasing in full cases means that your group's orders must be packaged down by the group's volunteers (see Packaging your group's order).
