Great orders this Season despite the Economy...

We have great orders coming in this season despite the economy. Groups are working harder than ever to make or beat their set goals Mitchell said. With the small downturn in the economy groups will have to work harder than ever to meet their goals. Some groups will have to run several fundraisers each year to raise the funds they need to support their causes. Expenses are rising and folks don't have the discretionary money to pay out for every brochure that gets handed to them. "Lisa in California wrote to tell us that they choose rightfundraiser.com because they wanted to offer something that people are going to buy anyways each week when they shopped for groceries". Coffee just has that draw, when folks see the brochure they always say "coffee,,something different!". Most folks are intrigued when ordering the different blends we offer. We have several groups that have are sending us continued orders every month due to the customers ran out and want more of our Slow Hand Roasted coffee which turns in to be a ongoing fundraiser... We look forward to working with more groups like this. It really lets us know we are doing our job in picking the beans, roasting them, processing them, and meeting our customer satisfaction goals.
