Five Brian wants you to see
$45,000
1,200 students, nineteen days in September
A big elementary school outside Charleston. Launched the third week of September, finished the second week of October, and tied for the largest sale Brian ran this fall.
$35,000
600 students, $35,000
Half the size of the big two and nearly the same money. That is what a real kickoff and a midpoint push do.
$26,000
830 students, eighteen days in September
Middle schoolers are supposed to be the hard ones. This one sold $26,000 in gift items with the duck program running and the store shared through parents' phones.
$15,000
150 band kids, $15,000
The best result for its size this fall came from a band program, not a whole school. A roster of 150 raised what some 500-student schools raise. This is the model for every band, chorus and cheer program on this site.
Each of the five has its own page with the dates, the catalog, the prize program and what made the number happen. All five are on the case studies index.
