1. Get Ready to Flip the Switch!

CFLs use less energy and our CFL fundraisers require much less energy from you, too. Once your group flips the On switch to begin the fundraising process we take care of everything from there. No groups of volunteers to recruit. No orders to gather. No cash to count. No products to distribute. Of course, the more you promote the CFL fundraiser the more successful you'll likely be. But this first step is the most important.

2. Distribute Materials to Teachers and Students

We take care of production of all materials. We will customize them to your school as much as possible including a special message from the principal or your group's president. You may want to mention how you plan to invest the earnings from the school fundraiser, for example, or talk about integrating this CFL fundraising program with the school curriculum.

We will prepare sets of materials for teachers that you can distribute. These "lesson plans" will offer information and ideas on how to help children understand where energy comes from, how we use it, and the effects on the environment. We will stress teaching of what each of us can do to reduce energy use to help the environment. In addition to taking very little time and effort, this educational element to the fundraiser helps us stand apart.

Orders are taken over the Internet. Bulbs are sent directly to homes. You do not have to worry about taking orders, counting and reconciling payments, or distributing the CFL orders. We take care of everything.

3. Build Awareness, Encourage Purchases, Earn Benefits!

We hope that you will encourage purchases by reinforcing the benefits of the program - to students, the school, and the environment. Messages on the school's and your group's websites will help as will mentions in newsletters. The biggest impact you will have is by setting an example and making purchases yourself. Your word-of-mouth "advertising" will convince parents, families and friends to support the school while they save energy, save money, and save the environment.

We will offer a wide selection of CFL bulbs and LED s to maximize energy savings and the likely success of your CFL fundraiser. We make it easy to find the bulbs you need to save as much energy as possible. Every room could benefit from using CFL bulbs. You can shop by room for CFLs . Kitchen, family room and bath CFL bulbs. Or shop by type. All shapes and sizes of CFL bulbs. Indoor and outdoor CFL bulbs.
