Holding a fund raiser with wine is a great way to raise funds for your school.
With some sensational quality wines at great prices, Alias wines is proud to offer a fundraising proposal that:
- Can provide a great return for your school
- Is easy to organise
- Is unique and different to ‘standard’ fundraising products
- Offers great quality product at exceptional prices
- Will get a great response from your supporters
- Can be repeated (by popular demand) at regular intervals
Here’s how it works.
- In conjunction with your committee or a ‘dedicated band of volunteers’ we taste and select a wine list suitable for your school. (we can provide a ‘standard’ list if you prefer)
- We can hold a wine tasting evening to introduce the wines and the fundraising activity
- Order forms are distributed to parents for them to fill out and to pass on to their friends
- After a set time – (usually 10 days to 2 weeks) forms are collected by the school and passed back to ALIAS Wines
- We compile the orders and process all payments –
- Orders are delivered to the school (or other drop off point) for pick-up or distribution to the customers (wine can also be picked up directly from our retail outlet)
- A full breakdown of orders with amounts payed is compiled and provided to the school, along with a cheque for the fund.
And that’s it!
We have great success with every fundraiser we have conducted and find ourselves repeating this process with the same school or club at regular intervals – it’s a common situation where members request “we are running low - when is the next wine drive on?”
So just to clarify some of the big questions:
- There are no costs to you – we are simply paid for the wine purchased
- There is no pre-commitment for quantities
- There are no minimum orders – we cater for all scales and levels of organization
- We help you to compile your own wine list suited to your tastes
- We can produce a label for your bottles which features your logo or emblem
- Labels are applied to the bottles free of charge
- We will produce a sales and order form for your distribution
- We will process all credit card orders free of charge
- We deliver all your wine free of charge to a central collection point for distribution
- As we are processing payments and delivering the product you do not require a liquor licence (please confirm with us for details)
- There are great fundraising returns on sales, and depending on the wine selected; your fund can potentially receive approximately 20% return on gross sales.
Traditionally this type of activity would have involved buying wine in bulk and bottling yourself. With this system all the hard work is done for you - all you need to do is distribute the product sales lists and collect the order forms.
We are happy to discuss any concerns you may have or to arrange a program for your school or club.
Please note – bookings can fill up quickly over the peak times, and we usually have established bookings from previous customers, so please contact us as soon as possible to ensure we can meet your timetable.
