Case Study Field
  Hockey Canada
Junior Women World
   Cup Fundraiser
Field Hockey Canada ran an online
 fundraising campaign to raise money for
 the Junior Women's team travel to the
 Junior World Cup in Santiago, Chile.
The purpose of this report is to discuss
 the strengths and weaknesses of the
 campaign and to highlight the areas that
 could have been improved.
The idea presented was to offer
 supporters the opportunity to sponsor a
 jersey of one of the athletes.

Each Jersey sponsorship was priced at
 $75.00 and included a limited edition
 commemorative -T-shirt, a lanyard, a
 signed picture of the team, a 6x4 picture
 of the athlete sponsored and a $20 tax
 receipt.
Other levels of sponsorship were added;

$50.00 for a Maple Leaf Member (did not
 include tax receipt).
T-shirt Only for $20.00
Lanyard Only for $7.00
The Jersey sponsorship was the biggest
 seller with over 40 sales at this level of
 sponsorship. The costs incurred included
 some updates to Field Hockey Canada's
 already existing web store, the cost of t-
 shirts and printing. Shipping, taxes and
 the cost to process credit card
 transactions were included in the flat rate
 of $75.00 as well so these costs had to
 be accounted for.
Strengths of the program:
Timeliness: The fundraiser was
 designed around a specific event, the
 Junior World Cup and the timeliness of
 the event created a sense of urgency
 amongst supporters.
Offered Different Giving Levels:
 Response rates increased because the
 supporters had a choice of what level
 they wanted to give at: $75.00 Jersey
 Sponsor, $50.00 Maple Leaf Member,
 $20.00 t-shirt or $7.00 lanyard.
High Margin: The cost to put together
 the each Jersey Sponsorship package
 was about $20.00 with all expenses
 factored in (printing, shipping, t-
 shirts, lanyards and credit card
 processing.) The product was marked up
 by almost 300%. The high intrinsic value
 of the package allowed for such a high
 mark-up.
High Intrinsic Value: The sponsorship
 worked well because of the intrinisic
 value felt by sponsoring an individual
 athlete.

The sponsorship was made more
 personal to the supporters because of the
 interactivity of sponsoring an individual
 athlete.
Field Hockey Canada E-news Service
 and Web Site: The team was able to
 promote the fundraiser on the Field
 Hockey Canada web site and even more
 effectively via the Field Hockey Canada
 e-newsletter.
It was a simple, fast, and effective way
 to promote the fundraiser to everyone in
 the Field Hockey Canada's email
 database. They were able to reach 800
 supporters with the click of a button.
Recognition of Supporters: A
 supporter page was created to recognize
 those who supported the team.

Supporters enjoyed being recognized for
 their contribution and having their name
 displayed on the Field Hockey Canada
 web site.
Weakness of the Program:
Amount of Time & Effort Involved:
 There was a lot of time, energy and
 effort involved in making the fundraiser a
 success. Each purchase through the
 online store had to be manually
 packaged and sent to each supporter.
 Additionally, all of the credit card
 transactions had to be approved
 manually.
Left-Over Inventory: The T-shirts had
 to be purchased in mass quantities so
 unfortunately there was some leftover
 inventory.
These items can still be sold but at the
 moment they are sitting in inventory as
 unsold items and included as an expense
 of the fundraising effort. The unsold
 items reduced the profitability of the
 campaign.
Logistics: It was impossible to anticipate
 the success of the program or know what
 quantities of each size of t-shirt to
 purchase. As a result a number of the t-
 shirts went on backorder when the
 popular sizes sold out.
There were numerous headaches
 involved with the ordering and
 distribution of the t-shirts and lanyards.
The goods were purchased in Vancouver
 and then had to be sent to the head
 office in Ottawa and then onto the
 supporters.
There were delays in shipping the items
 to the supporters and a number of orders
 were cancelled because of these
 unfortunate circumstances.
Limited Promotions: The team didn't
 use every avenue at their disposal to get
 the word out about the campaign. Most
 of the promotion was aimed at Field
 Hockey Canada's membership and word
 of mouth.

If each of the girls had run their own
 email campaign the results could have
 been substanially improved for little or
 no cost.
Suggested Improvements:
There are free services available online
 that can offer an organization the ability
 to create a custom storefront. These free
 services also offer fullfillment of the
 products you place in your custom store.
 They stock your store, handle the online
 transaction, print and create the items
 you want in your stores and they even
 handle the shipping directly to your
 supporters.
There is no risk on the team's part of
 excess inventory and there is no cost at
 all to the team for the shirts. Most are US
 based but can ship items worldwide.
