Timeline for Fundraising Campaigns
Please note that since our time lines are fairly short to produce price lists and order forms in printable PDF format, it is beneficial if your group has a computer with internet access and a printer.
August 15
Deadline for selection of products for your customized price list.
Please note: because new crop prices are not established until early September, prices for your selected products will be adjusted on your final customized price list.
September 10-13
The "new crop" wholesale price list is available via e-mail or as a printable PDF file. Your customized price list with final price adjustments should also be ready to e-mail (or fax) to you around this time.
Now you have received your customized price list/order form, photocopies can be made and immediately distributed to your members.
September 23-25
Deadline by which all your members should have their orders in. You will need a day or so to compile these orders and finalize your total quantities, rounding off your totals to make up full cases wherever possible. Now you are ready to call your wholesale order in to Rancho Vignola.
Rancho Vignola's wholesale order deadline. Please be aware this is a firm deadline – the only exception being if you cannot get through to us due to systems overload, in which case we will accept orders until noon of the following day. Any orders received past the deadline are entered as a "late order" and cannot be guaranteed delivery. Don't forget to order enough bags and twist ties!
November 15-30
Depending on your location you can expect to receive your order between these dates. We can give you a firmer delivery date closer to the time.
Once your order is received you can gather your volunteers together for "bagging day" – to package the full cases into the sizes you have pre-sold. Make sure you have scales, scoops and a clean space for efficiency and hygiene.
After packaging you are ready for your distribution or sale day, when customers come to pick up their orders and perhaps buy those extra items you may have available! Pre-determined by you, this day ideally would be advertised on your price list/order form.
Fundraising with Rancho Vignola's top-quality products ensures a successful campaign which will rapidly grow through word-of-mouth customer satisfaction and in profits for your organization.
We look forward to being of service to you with this year's "Best of the New Crop" Nuts and Dried Fruit!
Please check your name and address for accuracy and send us any corrections. If you would like to receive the September price list by fax or e-mail, send us your details!
