How Do I start a Fundraiser?

How Long Should My Fundraiser Last
We recommend groups run their fundraiser for no more than 2 weeks. We have found that running a longer fundraiser does not increase sales, but actually sometimes decreases sales because it takes away the sense of urgency. 10-14 days is optimal.
