Why raise money through wine
How does it work?
A new era in cost-effective fundraising!
Fundraising for your school, charitable organisation or club can be a tough, unrewarding business. The everyday financial demands on people today are heavy and spare cash is exactly that - spare.
Modern fundraising initiatives need to be simple, cost-effective and generate high-level returns if they are to be successful. More importantly, they need to treat people as "consumers" rather than "donors". They need to tap into what products people consume on a regular basis and deliver savings and opportunities they could not encounter elsewhere.
Market research shows that the majority of Australian households buy and consume wine on a weekly basis. Why not direct their expenditure to an affordable, quality product that is branded under your organisations own label and which delivers direct financial benefits to your fundraising cause?
By involving

Let us give you an example. A large boys' school of 1300 pupils recently commissioned special bottlings of both a quality Coonawarra Shiraz and a Clare Valley Riesling. These cleanskin (no label) wines, sourced at about half the retail price of their labelled equivalents, were then "branded" with personalised labels featuring the school's logo, a description of the wine and its vintage.
The school's fundraising committee encouraged parents to purchase just one case of wine for the year. Their aim was to take a profit of $50 per case of wine (a margin of about $4 per bottle). Orders were taken and monies processed, the final result being that more than 1000 cases of wine were purchased and distributed (some families bought as many as 10-12 cartons).
The outcome was that more than $50,000 was raised for the school - an unprecedented result for a single fundraising initiative.

Even if your fundraising group is not large, the dollar-for-dollar return on specialised wine sales is a proven earner that can outperform almost any other single fundraising initiative. Why? Because it taps into a quality consumer product that people buy anyway, and because it delivers them real savings on their normal expenditure.
The Wine Experience team takes the hard work out of your fundraising objectives. We can help you select a quality choice of cleanskin wines, develop personalised labels, communicate your fundraising message to your potential supporters and distribute your personalised product to the many people who have taken advantage of this genuine cost-saving opportunity.
For a minimal amount of organisation, Wine Experience can help your group achieve outstanding fundraising objectives.
