Box-O-Batteries are assortments of commonly used alkaline batteries – AA, AAA, 9V, C & D cells. There are 3 assorted packs of varying mixes of these battery sizes. There are also 3 volume packs that contain only AA, AAA or 9V batteries - for buyers who would prefer to tailor their order.

We offer high-quality, high-performance batteries from proven and trusted brands such as GP, Zeus, Energizer and Westinghouse. Our assortments include AA, AAA, 9V, C & D cells. We also offer volume packs of single types in AA, AAA, and 9V sizes for the buyer that want to customize their order.

Box-O-Batteries are priced to be competitive with prices at major
retailers and big-box stores, so there is both real value to the buyer and
monetary benefit to your organization. Many of our long-time organizations have
buyers that prefer Box-O-Batteries over retail stores and wait for the next ordering
opportunity.

The program is designed to achieve a balance between good value for the buyers and a real funding benefit to your organization. The margin for your organization is 30% of all sales. So for every $100 in sales, your organization retains $30. Additionally, we provide a $20 discount for every $500 in sales, which you can use to provide incentives such as gift cards, etc. for your young fundraisers.

Our program is available year-round, and you can determine your preferred selling period and delivery date. You can even run it multiple times per year. We recommend starting to plan about 6-8 weeks ahead of your desired delivery date.

We absolutely want to reward your young fundraisers for their efforts. The
feedback that we have received is that a lot of fund-raising incentives are not
really popular with the kids, and many of our organizations prefer to provide
their own incentives. We think that’s smart. After all, you’re closer to your
students than we are and know what would appeal to them. So, we provide a
monetary discount of $20 off the invoice for each $500 of sales. This is
equivalent to $20 for every 10-12 battery assortment packs sold. The organization
can use these additional funds to provide incentives in a form they feel is
most valued by the students. Gift cards, locally redeemable rewards, and group parties are popular options.

Here's a relatively typical schedule, which is about 5-6 weeks from initial contact to delivery to your buyers...

Week 1 - After contacting us, we will coordinate with you to schedule a tentative delivery date for your batteries. Within 2-3 business days, we will email the document and spreadsheet files that you will need to run your fundraiser.

Week 2 - You will need to print the Order Sheets and distribute them to your young fundraisers. To be comfortable, you should probably plan on 3-5 days to accomplish this.

Weeks 3-4 - A fundraising period of about two weeks is usually optimal. It's short enough to maintain focus, but enough time for your fundraisers to contact everyone they would like to.

Week 5 - After concluding your fundraising sales period, email your tally spreadsheet back to us. We will process your order and contact you to coordinate the delivery and confirm payment details. The delivery will usually be about a week after we receive your tally spreadsheet.

Week 6 - Your youth fundraisers deliver orders to their buyers.

Throughout the process, we are just a phone call or email away - real people here to answer any questions you may have.

We deliver your batteries on our own truck directly to your location. If you have a forklift available for unloading, please let us know when scheduling. Otherwise, we will unload by hand and appreciate any help from your team. Each assortment pack weighs about 5 pounds.

We suggest that your young fundraisers collect payment from buyers when they take an order, rather than waiting for payment on delivery. If your buyers pay by check, you will need to deposit or cash those locally so that a single payment to us can be made from a common account.

We request payment by cash or check when we deliver the batteries. Personal checks are acceptable, as we understand that the fundraising organization may be a PTA, student organization, or booster club rather than the school itself. Due to our low-cost structure, credit or debit card payments incur an additional 3% processing fee.
