Flexible Pricing for PTA Success
Unlocking the potential for higher profits starts with flexible pricing. Here’s how it can change the game for your PTA.
How Flexible Pricing Benefits PTAs
Imagine setting your own profit margins and seeing your earnings soar. With School Fundraising Ltd, you can do just that. You control how much you earn on each product, allowing for tailored pricing strategies. This flexibility means you can cater to your community’s financial landscape while ensuring the PTA meets its fundraising goals.
Most PTAs assume fixed prices are the only way. But the truth is, flexible pricing lets you adapt. You can offer discounts during off-peak times or increase prices for exclusive designs. It’s all about finding what works best for your school. And when you get it right, the payoff can be substantial.
Choosing Your Profit Margins
Setting your profit margins is easier than you think. Start by understanding your community’s spending habits. For instance, if parents are keen on unique Christmas cards, you might charge a bit more.
Experiment with different percentages. A 20% profit on mugs might work, but maybe a 30% profit on tea towels is better. It’s all about finding the sweet spot that brings in revenue without deterring buyers. Remember, you’re in control.
Real-Life Examples of Profit Boosts
Take St. Mary’s School, which increased its profits by 40% last year. They adjusted prices according to demand and saw parents eagerly purchasing more. Their secret? Personalised mugs priced at £9 each, which delighted both parents and grandparents.
Another success story comes from an Essex school, which saw a £2,000 increase in funds by offering limited edition artwork on their products. They learned that unique offerings can justify higher prices, ensuring both satisfaction and profit.
Easy and Profitable Fundraising Ideas
Now that you’re ready to set your own prices, let’s explore some creative fundraising ideas that promise high returns and low hassle.
Personalised Gifts from Children’s Artwork
Who doesn’t love a mug adorned with a child’s drawing? Personalised gifts are a hit with parents and grandparents alike. These items, ranging from mugs to coasters, offer a personal touch that generic gifts can’t match.
By using children’s artwork, you create products that are both meaningful and memorable. Plus, with School Fundraising Ltd’s online system, parents can easily order these items, making the process smooth and enjoyable.
School Christmas Cards and Other Products
Christmas cards featuring children’s artwork are a classic. These cards are not just seasonal favourites; they’re a chance for families to showcase their child’s creativity. Schools can also offer fridge magnets and decorative coasters to complement the cards.
Consider offering a bundle package: a set of cards, a mug, and a fridge magnet. This not only boosts sales but also maximises profits. With each item personalised, parents are likely to buy more.
Low Admin, High Return Fundraising Projects
Nobody wants a fundraiser that requires endless paperwork. With School Fundraising Ltd, you minimise admin tasks. The online ordering system handles transactions, reducing the burden on PTA members.
Projects like these are not just about raising funds but also about saving time. With less admin, you can focus on promoting the fundraiser and engaging the community, ensuring higher participation and profits.

Pricing Tips for PTA Leaders
Pricing is crucial for maximising profits. Consider offering early bird discounts or bundle deals to encourage larger orders. Test different price points to see what resonates best with parents.
Don’t shy away from adjusting prices based on demand. If certain products are flying off the shelves, it might be worth increasing the price slightly to boost profits further.
