How to Measure Foot TrafficIn Feburary 2016 21,

In Feburary 2016 21,
Install an infrared beam at each store entrance. The beam counts each person who enters and leaves the store and typically displays the total on a device fastened above the doorway. To measure foot traffic, read and divide the count by two. The cost for each counter ranges from about $325 to $900 as of 2014.
Analyze Security Camera Images
For a business that already has overhead security cameras, logging foot traffic using the security camera video requires no additional financial investment. Simply assign an employee to watch videotape footage and record the people entering and leaving a department or area over a specific time period. According to IMS, this method works best for measuring foot traffic in specific areas of the store.
Observe Store Traffic
Manual foot traffic counts are useful not only for gathering foot traffic data, but also for gathering information about what your customers are looking at. Position observers in key areas of the store and record foot traffic using a clicker or a manual check sheet.

Places to Get Donations for a BenefitIn Feburary 2016 06,

As soon as you decide to host a benefit event, make a list of charities and organizations in the area that might help. For example, if you're hosting a benefit to raise money for the family of a firefighter that died of cancer, you might ask for help from cancer societies and local fire companies. Write a simple letter explaining the reason behind the benefit and where the proceeds will go. Send letters to organizations in your city and state, with details on when you need donations and the type of donations you need.
Local Businesses
Solicit donations from local businesses for your benefit. Make a list of everything you need and divide volunteers into small groups, sending the groups to different businesses. Include smaller and less expensive items, such as napkins and food donations, as well as larger items. Some businesses and stores might want to help, but can't afford to donate any of the larger items you need. You can also ask the businesses to hang posters or flyers for the benefit, gaining advertising for the event.
Community Members
Ask for help from people in the community, especially those connected to the event. Volunteers can donate their time, working during the benefit to seat people, serving as security guards, making food or taking care of children. You also need people to donate smaller items, especially if you can't get enough donations through other means. Community members might donate ingredients for a benefit dinner or bottled water for a benefit concert that takes place on a hot day.
Celebrity Donations
Never underestimate the power of local celebrities, including radio DJs, newscasters, reporters and athletes. Ask celebrities to donate their time to appear at the benefit, signing autographs for fans or giving a short speech before the benefit begins. You can also ask famous people to donate signed memorabilia and offer those items for sale during a live or silent auction to raise additional money.
