Bagged Mulch Sales Are A Great Way to Way to Raise Money
Mulch has proven itself to be a great way to raise money because it has become so popular for homes and businesses.
When Should Your Mulch Sale Begin?
Pre-selling should start as early as January. By pre-selling you have an effective way of projecting the profits for your organization. We recommend you choose one weekend from mid-March thru mid-May for your product distribution.
Profits
Your organization will be able to profit as much as $2.00 per bag, depending on your services, offering a delivery service can greatly increase your sales. Some high school teams have shown a profit in excess of $35,000.00 per year.
Management
To make sure that your sale will continue year after year it is very important that you keep records of all customers & sales to those customers. Please make sure you have someone store your data so it can be used for future reference.
Sales
It is absolutely imperative that all players or members of the organization have a clear goal of how many bags they are to sell – set by the leaders. It’s the age old story if you fail to plan you are planning to fail.

Dates to Consider
Successful mulch sales are those that pre-sell. Most organizations will start taking orders in January for a March thru May distribution date.
Delivery?
Your organization will need to obtain a space large enough to store the mulch and accommodate a tractor trailer for delivery. It must also have enough space for customer pick-up and loading for your deliveries. We need a five to seven day delivery window for delivery.
