The Best of Cincinnati is the distributor of Black Platinum® hardwood mulch. Black Platinum® mulch is produced from hardwood bark with no fillers added such as; yard waste, saw dust and foul smelling manures. We have supported numerous Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana organizations in their fundraising efforts for over 25 years. Mulch is an ideal fundraising item because it is a product that nearly every homeowner needs and purchases every spring. Two additional ways to enhance your profits would be delivery and spreading options. We have organizations that sell bags of mulch only and others that provide one or both options. Below you will find an illustration of the fruitful opportunities:

A typical mulch fundraising campaign featuring Nursery Supply products will be outlined as follows:
- Determine what items you are going to sell. (Typically 1 or 2 items)
- Determine your selling price.
- Determine the selling period. (Typically 4 - 6 weeks prior to the delivery date)
- Schedule a date with Nursery Supply to deliver your final tabulated order to your location. (Typically late March thru the end of April)
- Schedule a date, time and location for customers to pick up their mulch. If you deliver schedule those dates and times.
- During the selling period pass out fliers, place ads in newspapers, church bulletins and sell door to door in your neighborhoods. These are a few suggestions.
- Collect the orders and tabulate the total quantities of mulch needed.
- Place your final order with Nursery Supply.
- The mulch will be delivered to your location by Nursery Supply.
- The mulch shall be picked up by the customer or delivered to the customer.
