Solicitation
Can you give me some tips on surefire ways to get someone or a company to give you their full support, meaning, to give a generous amount of solicitation?
I'm a college student, a sorority newbie and I need to "produce" quite a large amount of money purely from solicitations.
Please, please, I need all the help that I can get regarding this matter because I love my sorority but I still have a lot to prove.
Thanks in advance!

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Personal Finance?
oh cool, what soroity?
anyways, the previous advice was very good, i would try giving that a chance first
and it also depends on how willing you are to work
and if you have money to start with
i was going to say, sell things
like ask companies for donations and sell them
also do a fundraiser
there is a fanniemay fundraiser that gives you half of the profits selling choloate bars

i did that for my art club and we raised money quick! since the bars are $1, alot of people buy it
but i would try going to companies and asking for donations
sorry i couldnt help much, thats all i can think of

Well if you are trying to raise money for a sorority, then you are a girl, so approach companies that promote women, or that are owned by women, and employ a lot of women. Especially women with college educations. Another good idea is to approach companies that provide services to the college you attend. You might also do a kind of promo, say that for a donation, you will put up signs in the sorority house to promote the business that made the donations, pass out flyers, hand out business cards, coupons, etc.
Try to make it a win/win situation. If they make a dontation, you will bring in business. How is that for ideas.
