What percentage of profit will my group receive?
The amount of profit an organization receives will depend on
the brochure and prize program selected for the fundraiser; and, in some cases, the volume of sales. Profit on our various programs
normally range from 40-50% of sales. Generally, a Gross Sale of $5000.00 or more earns the higher profit percentage shown on each
Product Page. We would be happy to discuss the profit potential of any program with you.

Do you have an on-line store?
Both our Gift Shopper and Magazine programs include an extensive on-line store where out-of-town relatives, etc., can shop: www.allamericanfre.com ; www.aphearst.com . Your
organization will receive profit for anything ordered on your behalf, and the student will receive credit towards prizes/incentives.

When do I collect the Order-taker money?
Collection of money is your organizations option. It is our experience, however, that most fundraisers collect Order-taker money in advance, i.e. pre-pay. Post–pay is when your customers take orders, but collect either when picking up orders or after delivery has been made. In this situation your organization may have to wait for them to collect all the money before paying you.

What do I do once all orders and monies have been collected for our Order-Taker?
Once your Order-Taker is completed, contact us to arrange for submission and processing of your orders.
