Money Making Ideas for Your School

We all know that we are living in hard times and need to find alternative ways of raising school funds. So now is the time to find your inner Richard Branson, be entrepreneurial and go out and earn some money for the school.

And a culture of enterprise in schools can also teach children about the rudiments of commerce.

 Here’s some ideas:

1)      Think of the amount of times you use e-bay to sell personal items so why not sell these items instead to parents or the local community and the money earned goes back to the school? Do you grow food on site? – if you do sell this as well. We sell a mobile pop-up shop unit which would help you do just this and here’s another idea. Approach local businesses or retailers and ask them if they would like to sponsor this unit and we can put their name “above the shop” on the header board.

2)      Get companies to sponsor our products and we can put their branding or logos on as recognition of this

3)      Recycle old mobile phones, printer cartridges, CDs, DVDs using our revenue recycle unit

4)      Rent out our classroom buildings to your local community

5)      If you are seeking funding for anything, be a bit creative and put together a school video which features the children talking about why they want this funding and why it is so important. We have some stock videos which you could use for this (see the video page on our website).

Oh and we also operate a customer loyalty scheme whereby we can offer credits and commissions for referral or repeat business. If you help us out, it is only right that we help you too. Makes for good business we reckon. Richard would be proud!
