The type of fundraising you choose will determine the importance of your lot location. For example a school that is doing pre-selling need not be on a busy street to attract traffic as the purchasers are likely the families of the students and staff.

Where as service clubs may prefer to set up in a high traffic area. Contact local businesses who can support the project by providing a space at no charge.

You will need volunteers to help set up the lot, unload and put away the trees, as well as work the tree lot. A lot needs to be open at the very least, on weekends. However increased success will be realized if your lot is open 7 days a week for the key 3-4 week selling period. Keep in mind that is gets dark early at that time of year so good lighting is essential.
