FAQ
How long have you been in business?
Holiday Wreath Company has been providing non-profit groups with holiday fundraisers since 1977. Our experience has given us the opportunity to constantly improve the Profit with our fundraising program. This experience benefits your organization’s fundraising efforts. We can help you Create your own Fund-Raising Tradition.
How are you environmentally friendly?
The alpine fir trees only grow in the Rocky Mountain areas above 5,000 feet.The alpine and grand fir are a soft needle to touch and thus more user friendly. We wait until after the first hard frost before we begin collecting the boughs to make the wreaths. The frost causes the needles of the alpine to set, creating a longer lasting wreath than you will find anywhere else. We are environmentally friendly when we collect our boughs, only pruning the outer ten or so inches off of the trees. This stimulates the growth, and in a year or two, the trees are healthier, and fuller than they would be if we had not trimmed them.

How does our group price the products?
Your group decides your own prices. We feel it is important that every group has the ability to decide their own profit margin and also be sure the prices fit for the community where they sell.

Final Payment must be received before we can ship your wreaths.
This of course will be after you have sold all your products and collected all your money. We apologize for the changes but in an effort to keep cost down, we feel this will increase our productivity and efficiency. We have had groups over optimistically ordering in the past. (Ordering before collecting funds) This causes us to over manufacture products, and creates waste which cost all of us.
