Case for Motivating Youth for Car Wash Fundraiser Ticket Sales

If you are going to run a car wash fundraiser for your nonprofit group then you might want to think about selling pre-sale tickets in advance of the carwash fundraiser. One interesting point, which I have discovered after doing hundreds of carwash fundraisers and after 27 years in the carwash industry is that 80% of the tickets sold for carwash fundraisers are never redeemed the day of the fundraiser car wash event.

It therefore make sense to sell as many carwash fundraiser tickets in advance of the fundraiser as possible and it makes sense to motivate the youth in the organization to sell the tickets and give tickets and their parents to also sell at work.

If each kid sells 20 tickets at five dollars that equals $100 and if you have let say 40 people in your organization or nonprofit group in the instance of a high school band to say that means you will sell $4000 worth of tickets before the actual washing of a single car.

It therefore makes sense to motivate your youth sales staff to sell more tickets. After all $4000 for a carwash fundraiser is a lot of money and that does not include the day of the event with all the drive up cars, which will just see you and decide they want their car washed too. Please consider all this in 2006.
