Wow, these statistics are really eye-opening. It's great to see that a significant portion of Americans donate their unwanted footwear, but there's still a lot of room for improvement, especially in terms of recycling and reducing waste. This is why partnering with us from TFC for a shoe fundraising initiative is the way to go. By donating your unwanted shoes to TFC, not only are you decluttering your space and giving your shoes a second life, but you're also contributing to a meaningful cause. TFC's commitment to environmental sustainability and social impact makes them the perfect partner for this important endeavor.  Let's join forces and make a difference together! #shoedrive #fundraiser #fundraising #shoedrivefundraiser #fundraisingideas #dogood #sustainablefundraiser #easyfundraiser #donate #community #giveback #support #shoes #giveshoes #makeadifference #donation #hope #positivechange #philanthropy 

Using merch stores for fundraising is the most profitable and successful way to raise money. As someone who has organized many fundraisers and helped organizations with theirs, I can attest to this fact. The key is to leverage online merch stores, which are budget-friendly and easy to set up. Merchandise sells for a higher price compared to traditional fundraising items like candy bars, raffles or 50/50 tickets. In fact, when selling merchandise versus just asking for donations, we raised 65% more money. Plus, people love merch! From t-shirts to hats to stickers and everything in between, there are so many options for people to purchase. The best part is that as an organization, you don't have to put any money upfront. You only pay for items that sell and you control the price. For example, if you sell a t-shirt for $25, you can make between $10-$15 per shirt sold. Bonus tip: most people don't just buy one thing either. So, if you're looking for a versatile and profitable way to fundraise, consider setting up an online merch store. Trust me, it's worth it! #fundraising #merchandise #nonprofits #charity

📌 A logo is a crucial first impression for a company, influencing customer perception, purchase decisions, and overall attitude. It is a symbol or graphic element that represents the business, telling a story and expressing the brand's personality. Despite some companies assuming they don't need a logo, it is essential for every company as it makes the company appear established, attracts more business, and gives clients a sense of stability.

10 YEARS AGO!!! Who remembers this? The ICE BUCKET challenge. A fad that created a lot of noise, huge commitment to ALS #charities and a lot of cold bodies. Did you do it? I was thinking about fad or short terms trends. Big impact. Short term. They don’t always align with your goals, but you join anyway. We set up Wolf Eyewear to be different to this. To have #corevalues that last longer. To add value. To bring brilliance. COLOUR. FUN. This is always why we wanted WHITE OPTICS LIMITED to be part of the #wolfpack. They have been very close to these values for 50 years! Understanding customers on a closer level, what they want to achieve and how a supplier can support them. This is why we will be here for the long term, not just a fad. #wolfpack #growthmindset #familybusiness #eyewear #customerjourney #focussed #charity #eyewearfashion #eyecare #independentopticians
