This proposal suggests working with local organizations to sell prepaid photo packages as fundraisers. It would provide benefits like increased sittings and community relations while requiring little training. Organizations would keep commissions from package sales. Potential gains are estimated at $30,000 per large group fundraiser with 100 participants, $15,000 per mid-size group with 50 participants, and $3,000 per small group with 10 participants. The proposal aims to boost sittings, give back to the community, and provide additional resources to local management to improve metrics.
