There are a wide range of methods, ways and means of approaching venues to place a wishing well. Your approach will be somewhat different for each industry such as Restaurants, Sports Complexes, Family Fun Centers, Malls, and national chain stores just to mention a few. 

The most common denominator in deciding where to place a wishing well at any venue is to first make sure that there is sufficient walk-through traffic to support a wishing well. Next, it is important to find the Venus which will attract youngsters who would like to have fun launching coins into a wishing well. You also want to find a safe and secure spot to place the well, so it is not in the way but is quite visible to the passerby. Once you begin to engage with a specific business, the management of the establishment will of course have a lot to say about the spot for the placement. Perhaps you can even make some suggestions if you see a favorable spot. However, before you get to that point, you must sell them on whatever your cause maybe.

Identifying a venue that you think will be suitable for a wishing well is a major first step. Next you must figure out how to approach your potential customer. Keep in mind that most of the potential venues mentioned earlier may already have constant solicitors for one opportunity or another. Therefore, you must be mindful of that fact and tread lightly with your approach as you are not the only one knocking their doors. Having a totally unique product will help your case tremendously. It is also very important to do some homework and learn more about the company you are about to solicit, the more you now about them the better prepared you will be. You can also learn if they are already involved with a charity and better understand how to approach them. 

Customers like to see something new, therefore, it would be a great idea to introduce our Patent Pending Skill Challenge Coin Spinning Vortex Wishing Well. This wishing well puts a whole new spin on wishing wells like no one has ever seen before in the history of wishing wells. It is a brand-new concept, and you may now have the attention of the person in charge of the business you are soliciting. It is small enough to where you can take it with you on your first appointment and introduce it to them. Everyone likes a brand-new concept in a fundraising product, something no one has ever seen before. Now you can capitalize on this opportunity. It is no longer the same old wishing well which has been around for decades. Not only do kids have a blast with our skill challenge wells, but it is just as big a challenge for grownups. Now you are attracting customers of all ages which means more revenues. Furthermore, with the small footprint of our wishing wells it is very easy to find a good spot where space is almost always an issue. You can have the contact person at the venue that you are working with play with the wishing well on your first visit. Chances are that you will get the account on the first visit, and you get to leave it with them immediately. They will learn very quickly that it is in fact a super fun skill challenge game as they will probably spin the coin out of control crashing it quickly as it goes down the small hole and into the money box.

Weather you are an individual placing the wishing wells as a business or an organization wanting to do fundraising for a specific cause, you will need to be prepared to offer the customer a portion of the profits. It is important that you have in place a relationship with a charity which is near and dear to you. For those customers whose organization is not already working with a charity, you can sell them on the charity you have a relationship with and explain to them a bit more about it. You can explain how much you give to the charity and how much you are able to offer them for the placement. It maybe that you offer them 25% of the income and perhaps 25% goes to your charity. The other scenario is that you may approach a customer and they are already involved in an ongoing relationship with a charity. Therefore, if you are doing this as a business you may offer to promote their charity by placing a customized poster in the acrylic sign holder provided with the wishing well and you may even add QR codes and things of that nature.

You can then offer your customer a generous percentage of the proceeds from the wishing well. The percentage may be anywhere from 30% to 50%. That will be up to you as you are providing the well and doing the basic maintenance, pulling the money, counting the money, and mailing the customer a check monthly or quarterly. By promoting their charity and them getting a fair cut of the income will secure the account for a long time. That is what you are looking for with each account you acquire. Longevity and account retention is the name of the game. This holds true for any business if they are to be successful. You don’t want to have a short stay at a location and then lose the account since your customer is not seeing any real benefit from the relationship. Another thing to consider is that our wishing wells are so well priced and are so affordable that the return on investment happens much quicker than paying much larger sums of money for other wishing wells on the market and even run in the thousands of dollars. Therefore, you can afford to be generous with your profit-sharing program. Your patrons will be getting a much bigger thrill with our Skill Challenge wells than they could ever get from any other conventional well on the market. They will also generate as much or even more income but only for a fraction of the equipment cost.
