The following is a list of proven effective ideas that will help you earn more through the program in the shortest amount of time. And, maintaining the link on your website year-round ensures that you are collecting funds to support your organization twenty four hours a day, all year long. 1. Announce the link through your traditional or email newsletter - Be sure that everyone in your organization knows that you have the link on your site. Even though they already pay dues or donate money regularly, there is a very good likelihood that they will buy a t-shirt at some point as a gift or for themselves and buying it from your link earns more money for your organization. Also, ask them to direct their friends and family to the website so that they have an opportunity to click on your link and buy. 2. Notify the media - Be sure and let the local newspaper, radio station and television stations know that you'll be doing a fundraiser so they can mention it. Tell them that you'll be selling t-shirts as a fundraiser and that people can go to your website to choose their t-shirt or contact you for more information. 3. Ask your friends to send a short note to those people on their personal email list telling them about your new fundraising effort. - Include a link to your site so that they have an opportunity to buy. Be sure and tell them that this is the largest selection of licensed t-shirts on the Internet today. 4. Get kids involved - If you have youth as a part of the organization, be sure and actually show them the site and the shirts available, ask them to share the names of their favorite bands or celebrities and search for them on the site, show them the shirts. Make them a "Street Team." Ask them to actively go out and talk to all their friends about the site. 5. Set up a contest - Make referring your site valuable to your members, set up a contest for the most referrals to your site or for the most vocal supporter of your new site. 6. Contact your old donors - Even if they don't donate directly anymore, they are very likely to be open to the idea of purchasing a t-shirt. We have something for everyone. 7. Invite members at your meeting to order online at the meeting - Take advantage of the fact that when one person sees another buy they become more likely to purchase themselves. 8. Put a sign in front of your organization - A simple sign that people can see when they drive by is a great way to motivate people to look up your site and to buy more t-shirts. 9. Hand out flyers - You can go to events where you can hand out flyers with your website address. Fairs, street parties and civic gatherings can all be great places. The flyers don't need to be any larger than a business card and you can purchase business card sized paper that you can print in your inkjet or laser printer at any office supply store. 10. Be Creative - Brainstorm with your group and find out how many ways you can think of to get people to your website. 11. Sell - If you see someone wearing a t-shirt, be sure to tell them to check out your website where you have more than 2000 t-shirts on sale right now and that you'll have something they will love. 12. Work with other groups - Get other organizations to promote your site to their members as well. 13. Buy one yourself - Be sure that you look at the shirts, there is more than likely one or five that you'd love to have, support your own cause! 14. Go to companies - Go to the companies in your area and ask if you can have something about your fundraiser put in the company letter or if you can leave some flyers for people to look at that has your website (The majority of t-shirts bought at T-Shirtking.com are purchased from work). 15.
