Who Manufactures The Products You Sell?

    Red Apple Resources / ABC Dough is Texas owned and operated and all of our products come from Manufacturers right here in Texas!

How does the Product Gift Sale Work?

    The product sale using gift brochures is normally set up for a two week selling period.  We recommend a professional presentation on the first day of selling for your students, in order to familiarize them with the sales program and to motivate them by showing them the prize incentive program.  In addition, we stress, no door to door sales or talking to strangers.  We at Red Apple promote safe selling to family and friends by networking.

    At the end of two weeks you will collect all of your students orders and money. You will then deposit all of the money collected into your account and provide our office with the white copies of your students order forms for processing. You don't pay Red Apple until the delivery of your products!

When does Product Delivery Occur?

    Delivery of the gift brochure items is normally within 3 to 4 weeks of when we receive your orders in our office for processing.  Once the orders are scan verified they are sent to our warehouse to be scanned once more and packed for each student. Once the items have been shipped we notify you in advance so you have time to remind your students and parents of the delivery date.

How are the Orders Packaged?

The orders from our gift brochure programs come pre-packaged by Homeroom Teacher and then each individual student complete with Prizes.  This keeps the products organized for each student and his or her classroom on the day of delivery.

Can We Combine Brochures?

    When you determine the best brochure for your school or organization to use, we may recommend an additional brochure for you assist in increasing your groups sales.  Most of the time less is more and it's best to keep the selling simple for your students and their family. If your school decides to sell cookie dough for example and they sold cookie dough for your previous sale we may recommend selling an additional food item to compliment and encourage new business like our ABC Gourmet Pies or Taste of Italy Pizzas. 

    This may vary depending on your schools demographic and the time of year. What is popular in the the Fall before the Holidays may not be what is popular in the following spring.


How Much Money Can We Make?

    The first essential step to having a successful fundraiser is to first identify the needs of the group and to establish your group's financial goals.

    Set the total group goal first, then simply divide the number of students selling into it.  This will determine how many items each student needs to sell to meet the groups overall financial goal.

    The sky is the limit and you actually set your own goals!

How Much is Our Percentage?

    The profit percentage your group is selling for is important; however, there are many other factors to be considered when you are establishing your sale.  Company A may offer 50% while Company B may offer 40%.  The 40% company may be providing valuable services such as consulting, kickoffs, incentive programs, timely delivery of merchandise, and custom packing and more.

    The company also offering the 40% may have a higher quality of product.  The product quality will also assist you in making increased sales and profits to your group!  If a company is offering a lower percentage profit , ask them how they determine their percentage.
