Why TryBooking is the platform of choice for Scout Club Christmas tree sales

Calling all Scouts Groups! Christmas is coming and Scouts Groups across New Zealand are gearing up for their annual Christmas tree fundraising sale! Each year TryBooking helps Scout Groups across the country raise much needed funds for programs, building maintenance, equipment repairs and purchases through the sale of Christmas trees.

Our easy-to-use affordable online selling platform allows Scout Groups to manage online sales, promotion and reporting for their annual Christmas tree fundraiser with ease. Looking to combine your Christmas tree sale with crowdfunding in order to take donations for your Scout Group? Simply add a donations drive to your TryBooking event page.

Not only are our fees the lowest in the industry, we offer custom event page branding, promotion features, crowd funding options, sales and analytics reporting online, all in one place.

Our user-friendly platform has no sign-up or account maintenance fees or lock-in contracts. Plus, we offer great local customer support, free of charge, to take care of any issues you may have when creating and running your Christmas tree sale fundraiser.

TryBooking is a community-orientated ticketing platform that does more than just ticketing. You can use our system for various functions, like ticket sales, registrations, merchandise, taking donations and running a box office. Whether you are wanting to create tabled seating for club dinners or more standard seated events for your end of your production, we have you covered.

As part of our commitment to giving back, our platform is free to use for free events. So, if you’re hosting a free event for your Scouts community to give back or raise awareness for a cause, we provide full access to our event ticketing platform at absolutely no cost.

In this blog, we’ll discuss TryBooking's features and how they make your annual Scouts Christmas tree fundraiser easy for you.
