 | Hello and thanks for stopping by! Welcome to the green fundraising page dedicated to churches!
Reusable bags and reusable shopping bags have been a huge hit in the church community. So much so that we can honestly tell you that “You” make up for a great percent of the business we do and for that we are thankful and decided to make this special page for you.
So why would a church group or religious organization want to use reusable grocery bags or other types of custom imprinted bags you may ask? Well here are a few reasons we have come up with.
The Reusable Bag Fundraiser
Throwing a reusable bag fundraiser is a great idea for any church to make some extra money. As with most churches cash may be tight and a bag fundraiser is an excellent way to bring in some extra money. Our recommendation to you is to sell packs of bags. When we say packs, we mean 4 or 10 bags at a time. Don’t try to sell just 1 bag, focus on the pack. The pack enables you to sell the bag for slightly more than the grocery stores do. From what we have found, if your reason for selling the bags for more than the $1 you see at the stores is good, people generally do not have a problem buying them at a slightly higher cost. We agree it’s hard to compete with the large chain grocers offering them for $1, but please trust us here. You still have a great chance of making some nice extra money if you do it like this: |  |
