Van Wyk Sweet and Salty Pretzel Rods

I have an uncontrollable sweet tooth so most chocolate doesn't last long around me. I recently discovered that I like to make chocolate covered fruit and pretzels. It's fun, easy, and delicious but none of it lasts very long around here. When I got a was chosen to review Van Wyk Sweet and Salty Pretzel Rods I was so excited.

Let me tell you that Van Wyk Sweet and Salty Pretzel Rods are made for fund raisers. I don't know about you but my children seem to have an over abundance of fund raisers and they are not different. The box contains 52 pretzel rods which your organization can sell for ONLY $1.00 a piece.  Organizations usually make 40 - 50% profit and have a lot of success selling Sweet and Salty Pretzel Rods.

There are 3 different types in the box 20 chocolate covered with M&Ms, 20 chocolate covered with toffee, and 12 chocolate covered with sprinkles. When my box arrived you know it didn't take me long before I ripped one open. I of course went for the chocolate covered with M&Ms I mean duh, the more chocolate the better. I bit in and wow, delicious! It was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. My hubby of course had to try one when I saw the box and grabbed a toffee one. He too said wow these are so good so I shared a sprinkle one with the kids. They too loved it, my five year old daughter even tried to swindle another piece out of me.

I love the idea of using these as fund raiser items because they would sell themselves. I know I brought a box of candy to my office and people flocked around it to buy. With a unique item like chocolate covered pretzels for $1.00 then add that it taste gourmet it wouldn't take very long to sell a box.  As you can see the chocolate or candy coating is not skimpy in any way. Just looking at the pretzel I would expect to pay more than $1.00 a piece.

The cost per box depends on the size of your order so I will price these to raise money for Cajun Squirrel Rescue.Van Wyk also has other confections that they offer for fund raisers.

TeeSpring

As you all know I am an animal rehabber and that can get costly. Nobody likes to constantly ask (beg) for donations but who has the money to pay up front for a fund raiser? With TeeSpring I don't have to worry about that. This is how TeeSpring works, you pay no money upfront and you don't order any thing yourself.

On their website you can design a shirt for you organization or cause. There are lots of options for you. You can chose from twenty-two different shirt colors, the type of shirt you want anything from a basic Tshirt to a hoodie, and you can also upgrade the quality of your shirt.  Once you have chosen the type and color you move on to the fun part, decorating your shirt. You can pick one or more of the 10,000 images available in the art library or you can upload your own. Add text -- you know what I'm talking about, your slogan or name of your origination. You can easily change the color of the image or text as well.

Once your done with the shirt you move on to choosing a selling price of the shirt, set a goal (how many you want to sell), and how long you want to meet that goal. You can also see how much your profit will be with various goals.

For the next step, you tell people what you are trying to raise money for. This is a way to really get people interested in buying a shirt for your cause. Create a URL and then launch the campaign. Then promote it by sending links on FaceBook, Twitter, email, pretty much any social media. Then anybody that is interested can order the size they need.

So no upfront cost, no ordering sizes you "think" people will need, and no excess TShirts to hide in your garage because they didn't sell. I designed a shirt http://teespring.com/cajunsquirrelrescue for my good cause will you? What do you have to lose?

I was compensated for this post but the opinion is truthful and honest.
