If you want to throw a successful fundraiser… you better make sure your guests have a good time.
When guests “had a blast” or “can’t wait until next year”, they will likely spread the word to others. However, if they feel like it was a waste of their time… they will likely spread the word to others.
When throwing a fundraiser (especially for the first time), do not focus solely on the profit margin – focus on the guest experience.
If they have fun, you will get them back next year – and you will have a whole year to tweak whatever changes are needed. But if they have a bad time, whatever money you raise in Year 1 might be the only money you raise moving forward.
Musical bingo is great because it’s fun, accessible for pretty much everyone, and flexible (time, rounds, musical preferences, etc.). I’ve already booked about six musical bingo fundraisers over the past six months, and I’m expecting that trend to pick up in 2027.
