You can create Print Promotional Materials via Vistaprint a partner organization of cMarket. Here you can select from preformatted flyers, postcards, business cards and promotional bookmarks (Great for schools) or create your own designs using Vistaprint's online creation tools.
Seek Out Alternative Promotional Venues
Getting the word out will not only promote your auction items but also your cause. It is an important step to being a successful fundraiser. Here are some ideas:
- Contact local radio and television stations
- Reach out to local businesses - ask to hang flyers in their windows
- Contact local newspapers or other community periodicals
- Have your volunteers hit the streets to hand out promotional flyers
