In an effort to help you understand the power of our healthy meat snack fundraiser we want to answer some of the most asked questions. We know that once you understand the benefits to our unique program and product you will be excited about offering our natural and healthy products to everyone you know!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Will Fundraising with Jerky Direct be as good as the gift-wrap, chocolates, or other items we have been selling in the past?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;There are many factors that contribute to successful fundraisers, which make it impossible to guarantee success in any fundraising program. However, Jerky Direct Fundraising Programs have been as successful, if not more so, than most of the products sold today. I have some great testimonials to share with you about completed fundraisers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Do many people buy jerky?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;It would be impossible to know just how many people buy jerky, but we do know that on the average, 75% of all households purchase jerky products. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Are Jerky Direct meat snacks too expensive as fundraising products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Our meat snacks (3.0, 3.5oz or 4oz depending on flavor) are priced affordably and when you consider they are a healthy alternative to most products found locally, this makes our product even more attractive to consumers. Visit your local grocer and compare prices!&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Besides Jerky Direct jerky is a noticeably &lt;u&gt;better product!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Why choose Jerky Direct over a cheaper department store brand?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="bodytext1"  style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Jerky Direct, a producer of healthy all-natural and/or organic products is dedicated to bringing you the finest quality premium products at an incredible value.

It's seasoned with our secret blend of spices, and slow smoked to perfection with real burning hickory. &lt;strong&gt;Jerky Direct jerky is consistently better then the store brands&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;If we sell Jerky Direct two years in a row, will the second year be as successful as the first?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;Past experience shows that the second year is usually MORE successful because people are aware of the quality and value of our meat snacks and buy more than they did the year before. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;Comparison of Candy Bars&lt;br /&gt;verses Jerky:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Candy Bar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Cost to your organization &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;50 cents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Selling price &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;$1.00&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Profit per item &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;50 cents&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Items needed to sell &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;for $600 revenue &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;1200&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Items needed to sell for $6000 revenue &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;12000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" &gt;Jerky Direct jerky&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Cost to your organization &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;$4.74 (approx)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Selling price &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;$7.00&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Profit per item &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;$2.26&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Items needed to sell for $600 revenue &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;265&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Items needed to sell for $6000 revenue &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;2650&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"&gt;Jerky only requires less than &lt;u&gt;1/4 of the sales&lt;/u&gt; to produce the same revenue!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"&gt;Many people feel obligated to purchase 1 item. If you sell 1 bag of jerky you will receive $2.26 in revenue. For each contributor that buys just 1 item &lt;u&gt;you make more than 4.5 times the revenue!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another great selling point: It is competitive with the local convenience stores! A 3.5 oz bag of lesser quality jerky at the local convenience store often costs $7.00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;States all over the U.S. are mandating healthier food items for students. In California it is a new law called "SB 12".&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;Jerky Direct is SB 12 compliant, many other snack items are not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"  &gt;There are several ways to accomplish a productive fundraiser. Some fund raising methods cost of less than $14.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall Jerky Direct jerky makes a great fundraiser and your purchasers will be asking when will you have another jerky fundraiser.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Contact Greg Mathers at &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="bodyTextSmall"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; gamathers@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To see the retail products go to &lt;a href="http://www.chew.jerkydirect.com/" target="JD"&gt; http://www.Chew.jerkydirect.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will explain how to purchase at wholesale.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7904291184260026986-6185869600094631100?l=jdfundraising.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jdfundraising.blogspot.com/feeds/6185869600094631100/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7904291184260026986&amp;postID=6185869600094631100' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7904291184260026986/posts/default/6185869600094631100'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7904291184260026986/posts/default/6185869600094631100'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jdfundraising.blogspot.com/2007/10/fundraising-using-jerky-direct-products.html' title='Fundraising Using Jerky Direct Products'/><author><name>Greg Mathers</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16659824170191047772</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DK4l1AMHfOo/SsISQQuysxI/AAAAAAAAA30/DsHU3LUniaU/S220/Greg+%26+Jan.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
