    Hi hoping some one out there has any ideas for a choir desperately needing funds.

    We have recorded a Christmas cd but finding it hard to get retail outlets to sell it.

    Have done shows etc with extensive advertising but very little profit to be made.

    We have in the past done usual table quiz and bag packing but need fresh ideas
    for the new year.

    Any ideas?

    do a free concert and sell your cd afterwards.when you do something for free it will come back on you tenfold....

    You can do a kind of sponsorship, e.g., €15/ year free CD + tix to one concert, €25/year free CD + tix to two concerts ... and so on.
    Competitions are a good way to raise your profile, if your choir is up to it.
    Charity events and out-of-town trips all raise your profile and your game too.
