Your Quick-Start Guide to an Easy Crumbl Cookies Campaign with BlazeBite

Welcome! If you’re looking for a popular, quick, and successful way to raise money for your organization, you’ve come to the right place. Based on overwhelming feedback, we’re going to walk you through the entire process of setting up a digital Crumbl Cookies fundraiser with BlazeBite. The entire system is designed to be incredibly easy, from securing the cookies to getting paid.

Tip of the Month-4-cookies (1)

Step 1: Secure Your Cookies (Start Local!)

Before you launch your campaign, you need the product. This first step is simple because each Crumbl Cookies store is franchise-owned, and many franchise owners are eager to give back to the community.

A. Negotiate Your Catering Order

Your very first task is to locate and contact your local Crumbl Cookies store. Your primary goal is to secure a favorable agreement for a large catering order of cookies. Don’t overthink this! This is a simple process, and because you’re placing a high-volume order, the local store would much rather work with your organization than rely on day-to-day foot traffic alone.

Important Note: This is different from a “Dine to Donate” event. You are not asking for a percentage of their daily sales. You are placing a large catering order with special pricing.

B. Lock-In Your Profit Margin

This is where the money is made, and the math is easy. When discussing your large order, you’ll be asking for catering pricing. Based on our experience, this is typically around $3.50 -$4.00 per cookie (varies by location).

To maximize your revenue, we recommend the following retail pricing structure:

  • - Single Cookie: $6.00
  • - 4-Pack: $20.00 ($5.00 per cookie)

C. Keep the Menu Simple

Once the pricing is confirmed, finalize your flavors and product mix. For the easiest sorting and delivery, we recommend a focused selection:

  • - Four individual cookie flavors.
  • - One or two 4-packs.
  • - Possibly a 6-pack.

Step 2: Launch and Manage Your Fundraiser with BlazeBite

Once you have your cookie agreement, running the sale is effortless. Our BlazeBite platform handles all the logistics for a smooth, cashless, and paperless experience.

A. Set Your Schedule (Launch as Early as Next Week!)

We can build and launch your custom fundraising page in a matter of days. All you need to do is identify your desired timeframe.

  • - We recommend a 2-week window to create urgency.
  • - For maximum sales, link your fundraiser to a specific event like Homecoming, Valentine's Day, or Thanksgiving, and/or community event as this creates an easy marketing narrative that drives huge interest.

B. The Digital Ordering Process is Stress-Free

Say goodbye to paper forms and lost checks. With BlazeBite, your fundraiser goes fully digital:

  • - Easy Ordering: Customers place orders from their couch, accepting credit cards, Google Pay, and Apple Pay.
  • - Hassle-Free Payment: The payment processing fees are paid by the customer at checkout, ensuring your organization keeps every dollar of the stated cookie price!
  • - Data Collection: BlazeBite securely collects all necessary purchaser information (name, phone, email, and order details) automatically.
  • - Tips & Donations: Our platform lets you customize the tip message (e.g., "Donations fund new uniforms"). This simple feature often brings in an extra 10% in funds!

Platform Fee: We charge a small fee of $0.25 per cookie sold to cover the secure payment processing and digital management, keeping the rest of the process running smoothly for you.

C. Track Results and Get Paid (The Easiest Part!)

You’ll have simple, real-time access to your sales data:

  • - Easy Reporting: Our customer portal lets you monitor sales instantly. We provide customized reports: one for your group and a streamlined one for Crumbl Cookies to simplify logistics.
  • - Quick Payment: We'll send you a link to set up your organization's payment account before the fundraiser starts. Once the campaign is complete, we'll deposit all funds directly into your account the following week.

Step 3: Simple Best Practices for a Big Reward

Organizing your own cookie fundraiser takes minimal effort but delivers maximum reward. Follow these final simple tips for huge success:

  • - Promote Like a Pro: Use flyers, emails, social media, and school signage. Don't rely on just one channel!
  • - Delivery is Simple: Sort and label orders by student/teacher/customer before delivery day.
  • - Show Your Impact: After the funds are deposited, send a thank-you note showing exactly how the money will be used. People love to see their support in action!

Ultimately, you can skip the paper chaos and raise 3x–4x more than old-school events like dine-to-donate nights. You simply manage the promotion and the final delivery and let BlazeBite and Crumbl handle the rest.

Once you experience how easy it is to run your own fundraiser with BlazeBite, you might find yourself organizing mum sales, Night at the Races event and/or anything else you can sell through the app to help raise money for your cause!
