FUNDRAISING PROGRAM INTRODUCTION
All across the country, organizations are being faced with the challenge of providing quality services with shrinking funds.
Each year a variety of projects are undertaken in an effort to generate additional income.
Whether it is a sale of wrapping paper, baked goods, candy bars or other products, traditional programs require selling something. The result is often LONG HOURS and a small financial return.
Participants sometimes lose patience with the pressure to “sell” yet another item.
Paperwork is a hassle and the need to deliver goods creates more frustration.
Each new year begins at ground zero.
Often people who buy products from fundraisers are
doing so in spite of the quality of the goods and/or their need for such items.
HOW IS THE MELALEUCA PROGRAM DIFFERENT?
Melaleuca, Inc. is an Idaho-based company founded in 1985 which manufactures over 350 personal care, home hygiene and nutrition products; and is the exclusive marketer of Nicole Miller skin care and cosmetics.
These are daily, consumable household items that ALL families use in their home on a regular basis such as toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, laundry detergent, household cleaners, vitamins, etc.
When people choose to support this fund-raising effort, they are simply REDIRECTING their monthly purchasing habits toward higher quality products that cost the same or less than what they are already spending.
They are using no “new money”. Addition-ally, Melaleuca’s products are highly effective, cost competitive, environmentally safe and FULLY GUARANTEED.
HOW ARE THESE PRODUCTS MARKETED?
Instead of the organization or members warehousing these products, taking orders and delivering them, PEOPLE PURCHASE DIRECTLY FROM MELALEUCA.
The members of the organization who recognize the advantages of switching over to Melaleuca products, both for their families and for the organization, can become “preferred” Melaleuca customers.
Customers simply order the products they want each month VIA A TOLL-FREE NUMBER or the INTERNET and THE COMPANY WILL SHIP ALL PRODUCTS DIRECTLY TO THEIR DOOR.
“Preferred” Melaleuca customers get a 30-40% SAVINGS over retail prices, and when they order each month by the 25th, receive 10% back in free products.
Through Melaleuca, people are given the opportunity to become part of a wholesale shopping network.
HOW DOES THIS GENERATE LONG-TERM FUNDING
FOR THE ORGANIZATION?
As people come into this wholesale shopping network, the organization will receive 7% of all of the products purchased each month by members.
This means that the organization will receive residual checks month after month, year after year. Because customer satisfaction is so high, a network can quickly grow beyond the bounds of the organization, as people recommend Melaleuca to their families, friends and associates.
As the organization’s network of customers grows in size, there is the opportunity to benefit financially beyond the residual 7% income.
Melaleuca also has a generous compensation program that includes a monthly automobile allowance.
Once the organization’s members’ purchases reach 20,000 product points
each month, the organization earns an additional $400.00/month for a vehicle.
At 50,000 product points or more each month, the organization earns an additional $1,000.00/month.
THE DESIGN OF THE MARKETING PLAN ENCOURAGES
A WIN-WIN SITUATION
For those families who choose to take advantage of what Melaleuca offers, many will simply purchase products each month for their personal use.
There is no requirement or pressure to do anything beyond that.
Yet, many families may find themselves sharing Melaleuca with others, and can also earn money for the effort they are putting into the program.
Because creating a Melaleuca business is a PROCESS OF SHARING INFORMATION, NOT SELLING PRODUCTS, many get very excited about it.
There is the potential for all members of the organization to experience the benefit of exceptional products and a way to generate additional income while helping the organization at the same time.
LOW INVESTMENT WITH NO RISK
To enroll as a Melaleuca customer, the membership cost is $29.00 plus state tax.
To receive the products at wholesale, each family membership agrees to purchase a low monthly minimum of 35 product points (about $45.00 - $65.00).
The average family spends $75- $150 each month on similar products.
These products are household staples – it is not a buying decision:
“Will I buy toothpaste, Cleaning products, etc…?” – it is a shopping decision:
“Where will I buy toothpaste, etc.?”).
There is a complete product catalogue and information package provided, as well as a year’s subscription to the monthly newsletter.
All products have a full money-back guarantee.
Because of these extensive guarantees,
Melaleuca provides a truly RISK-FREE opportunity.

WHY MELALEUCA MAKES SENSE AS A FUNDRAISER
Most of the people in your organization buy the consumable products that Melaleuca produces each month at BJ’s, Costco, CVS, Wal-Mart, Wal-Greens, Longs, their favorite supermarket, etc.
Most likely, none of these people own stock in any of these stores, or are paid to shop there - but shop there out of habit.
Instead of spending their money at retail stores to benefit large corporations, wouldn’t it be better to spend the same money with a company that rewards their loyal customers for word-of-mouth referrals?
Our goal is to encourage them to “switch stores” and spend no new money – instead re-direct their purchases to Melaleuca and receive better, safer and more cost-effective, quality products.
As this transition happens, your organization starts to earn money and so do your members.
This is a win-win situation for all concerned. Many of your members have joined Costco’s, BJ’s or Sam’s Club to buy products at wholesale.
This is the same thing they will do with Melaleuca from the ease of
their home, but don’t have to buy in bulk.
It makes sense to shop with Melaleuca and utilize their hard-earned income not only to better themselves financially, but at the same time, help their organization raise funds to meet its financial goals.
WHAT CAN YOUR ORGANIZATION EARN?
EXAMPLE USING AVERAGE 50 PRODUCT POINTS ORDERED
PER MEMBER EACH MONTH
Keep in Mind Most people and families go shoping every day and pay inflated prices. Shopping through Melaleuca will redirect inflated cost to better healthier safer products, Help familes save money and pay you, the individual who refers customers, and your Non Profit
Organization monthly residual income! It truly is a Win Win for everybody!
