Help 4 Heroes

Post by Big Chris »

Hi all, yet another question...

I am the same many of you who take part in the Help 4 Heroes fundraising through our towers, but my question is do people put anything in the tower related to H4H??

Personally i would be happy making 0 profit on what was put in, as it would make the tower look a bit more (professional is the wrong word, but you know what i mean). The adult wristbands at £2 are a no go, but what about the kids ones, and maybe things like pin badges, hair bobbles, stickers ect.

Has anyone tried this or am i just plain stupid?

Kind Regards
Chris

I am deff not rich Ade, lol

But i just thought it may look good if there was a line of products in there.

I am sure they do, i think total raised so far for H4H (not just towers) stands at about 130 million, so they arnt short either.

Cant see the point of losing columns in your towers, if the location are supportive why not get merchandise placed behind the bar for people to buy, if you want to do more.

Hi Chris,

If you want to do this, then sell their merchadise at your sites at cost, but the towers are your income, so having a non productive product line, hits your profits. You are either a charity, or a business. If you are the latter, then your focus needs to be on profit. I think it is easy to become sentimental about the charity, but as there are many operators on here raising funds for H4H, they are receiving quite a lot of risk free cash each month, so concentrate on yourself.

Cheers,

Paul
