Soft Launch
When: 3 - 5 days before your kickoff date

​

1. Introduce the WHY (the problem the fundraiser solves) and tie your WHY to the fundraiser.

2. Watch the SPONSOR Video  https://streamyard.com/vvw2kq8dj6dn and distribute the supporters list.
   TIP: Distribute the PARENT / STUDENT letter and refer to parts of it for informational purposes - 

3. Inspire the expectation that every student needs to work with Mom and Dad to complete the supporters list with a minimum of 10+ " quality" contacts. 
   TIP: A quality contact includes the name + cell phone + EMAIL of each contact. You will need to emphasize the need for an email address.

4. The Early Bird Challenge!! Dare or double-dare your students to have $100 raised and shown on the leaderboard by the day of the kickoff. 
   TIP: Use a statement like "Who knows, you might accidentally raise $50 before we even get started?" Campaign should be LIVE on the date of the soft launch. 
   TIP: Hold a student leadership meeting and set expectations that student leaders will lead by example and raise $100 before the kickoff date.

InstaRaise - Campaign ID and Custom Info
Confirm your InstaRaise campaign ID and write it in on the Supporters List PDF before you make the copies.

Setting your group goal for quality contacts with email.
How many email addresses do we need to reach our fundraising goal? Here's the math.
Determine how much money you need to fund your project or goal. Divide that goal by 12 and that result will be the approximate number of quality contacts you will need from your students to hit that goal. Example: If you want to receive a profit check of $10,000, (on average) you would need 834 quality contacts. 
TIP: The highest profit checks are going to the teachers who can really dig in on 20-25 contacts + email before the kickoff date.

NEW - The InstaRaise App

 

InstaRaise released an app for both apple and android devices and it is a free download on the respective online stores. When loaded onto a parent or student's device, the app will open as soon as the student registers or logs in to the campaign page. The user should go to the campaign URL and register or login as we have in the past. If the user does attempt to login directly through the app, they will need the seller ID or the group's campaign ID for "your ID". 
TIP: the app does allow the user to import contacts directly from the device. The device would need to have the contact's phone and email​ address.
