How do I say this without stirring up trouble. If many groups are all doing the same sorts of fund-raising projects, how do they expect to motivate participation or purchases therein? I've always wondered why they don't try to differentiate their offerings a bit more. But then again being the daughter of a man who made his living in advertising and sales I'm no one's demographic because I’m not easily moved by such. Realistically, how many of the same sorts of shirts, tote bags and other assorted food items can people with limited discretionary income be expected or anticipated to buy? I’m not trying to criticize I’m merely musing upon the topic.

@robini71 More variety is great, but any additions would have to be things that are useful or desirable for the widest possible sampling of people. You can certainly come up with some creativity which matches whatever particular cause you're fundraising for. However, the more niche an item is, the less you'll attract people who stumble onto your efforts versus people already interested in supporting them. Some unique items might work if they're attractive or quirky enough.
