Cool & Unique Umbrellas' is pleased to invite your committee to participate in a new program of fundraising. It follows a very simple strategy and has proven results. The advantages of this program include:

· No initial monetary outlay.
· No payments for stock purchased until 14 days after sale.
· High margins/commissions for your organisation (usually 50%).
· The umbrellas are the most popular styles and their suggested selling price is less than R.R.P.
· Product support with guaranteed satisfaction.
· It's a great alternative to selling chocolates!

The program operates in three forms:

Catalogue Sales: We will provide sales catalogues for your members/students/volunteers. These catalogues are full colour A4 size flyers with comprehensive descriptions. Each is accompanied by an order-form specifically designed for your organisation. There is no cost to you for this service. The Fundraising Committee is also provided with samples and information on the umbrellas.

The 'suggested selling price' ranges between $6.00 and $45.00 with the most popular umbrellas selling between $10 and $15 each. Remember that your selling price is less than RRP!

After the orders are totalled we will deliver the umbrellas to you at an agreed time and place (usually within 48 hours). After the umbrellas are distributed and the monies collected by your committee, we allow a seven-day 'adjustment period'. During this period you are likely to receive follow-up orders and other changes. Seven days after this, the total payment for the cost of the umbrellas is due. Thus we receive payment 14 days after you receive your payment.

'Umbrella Fair': Subject to agreement, we will provide stock 'on consignment' for fundraising days and events. Why not have an umbrella stall at your annual fete or fundraising night?

Promotional Umbrella Sales: We can print your club/school logo onto an umbrella such as a folding umbrella or golf umbrella. These can be sold at a profit to members/students/supporters. This can also be combined with the 'Catalogue Sale' and the 'Umbrella Fair'

We are very willing to discuss other ideas you may have for incorporating our umbrellas into your fundraising plans. Please have a look at the accompanying information and feel free to call and discuss any ideas you have.
