The summer months are a great time to get out into the community and begin selling ads for the Foothill Christian School Business Directory. Does selling these adds make a difference? YES they do! As a result of contacting businesses I have sent one child to Washington DC and working on sending another. I have a daughter that will be starting 7th grade in the fall, and she began selling Business Directory Ads last year. She was able to sell 12 ads which started her Washington D.C. account with close to $800.00. Not only will the money start adding up, it’s a great way to teach your kids business etiquette when they have to talk to business owners.
From my experience, many businesses are more than willing to help out by placing an ad in our directory. The key is they just need to be asked! Don’t wait for the fall rush. Use the summer months to gain the advantage. When it came to paying for our memorable trip, it was gratifying to know that most of our expense had been covered. Far and away, the best fundraiser for you is the Business Directory. Take advantage of it!!!
