Hamburger Sale

Create Traffic

A Hamburger Supper is a quick way to raise funds without a lot of planning. The

trick is to make sure and get lots of customers.

It would be best to host your Hamburger Supper where you are assured a lot of traffic such as at a fair, shopping center, or after church. Hold your supper on a night that will not be in conflict with a high school football game, fair or something similar.

Be sure to come up with a clever name for your supper to attract those that would think that your hamburger supper is the typical hamburger supper. Put a smiley face on flyers and put a picture of an open-faced hamburger with pickle eyes and a mustard smile.

An alternative is to make square hamburgers and call them Sponge Bob hamburgers based on the popular comic show Sponge Bob Squarepants. By the way, he flips burgers at Crabby Patties Burger Shop at the bottom of the ocean. Then put a picture of Sponge Bob on all of your literature and tickets.

The Menu

Include in your Hamburger Supper all of the fixings, spears of pickles, peppers, various kinds of chips, desserts (cookie, brownie or cake), and a drink of their choice. Be sure to have take-out bags, styrofoam containers, napkins, and straws on hand as well. Ask local restaurants to donate these items to your group.

Presell tickets so that you will have a good idea on how many hamburgers to fix. Prepare for 2 3 dozen more suppers for those that come in off the street.

Promotions

Create flyers and give to shoppers at shopping centers or post where there is a place to post it (high school or college halls). On the flyer, include the ability for each person that can't make it to supper to make a donation for mailing in the attached form printed on the flyer (include your groups post office box and phone number on the flyer).

Also, have some snacks on hand like cookies, cupcakes, rice crispy treats or something similar for those not wanting a full meal. Children accompanying adults are great customers for snacks like these.
