We are underway with our Mattress Fundraiser. On Thursday, March 31, Susan Bastida, our sales representative, met with parents in the FVL Auditorium for a kick-off meeting, as well as almost 50 parents who checked in to the meeting via Zoom. It was a very informational meeting!
This page will be used to keep you up-to-date with information regarding the fundraiser. We will also be posting information periodically to Lutheran Vanguard of Wisconsin Facebook page.
We recorded the portion of the meeting in which Susan talked through the actual process - what do we do, how do we promote the event, and so on. This video is about 30 minutes long, but has so much valuable information! In the next few days we will be summarizing that information so you won't need to watch the entire video. The quality is not great, since we had to Zoom in to capture the portion of the screen with Susan. The audio is good, however!
We will have handouts for the LVW members. They include:
1. The Flyer (posted above) - These flyers can be distributed in many ways! In the first few minutes of the video, Susan explains how the flyer can be shared via phone! The flyer is very important, as at the bottom is a line where the student's name can be written. If purchases are made using the flyer with the student name on it, that student will receive credit! Those credits will translate into cash for that individual student.
2. Pull Tap Posters - These are explained at 3:15 into the video. They are meant to be placed in high-traffic areas: your church or school bulletin boards, the local Kwik Trip, your place of work, banks, grocery stores, etc. Take as many as you can distribute!
3. Yard Signs - these are the "famous" yellow and black signs that everyone uses who does a mattress fundraiser. You have likely seen them while driving around your city over the past several years. The yard signs are likely most productive in the Fox Valley area, as those outside the region might not know what FVLHS is.
The Flyers and Pull Tab Posters will be mailed to each school in the near future. There will be enough for the LVW members and directors at those schools. FVL already has a full supply of those ready to be handed out.
Check back here often over the next several weeks!
