For your next fundraising campaign, go shirtless.
Okay, not actually shirtless. But switching out the standard T-shirt for a more creative product can greatly enhance your fundraising efforts. That’s what one team did when they used an InkSoft online store to raise over $34,000 (and growing) using just wristbands.
Fundraising beyond T-shirts
T-shirts are the go-to fundraising tool for causes across the world. And it makes sense””many people like to show their support with the clothes they wear. But sometimes, a T-shirt is simply too much of an investment. Not everyone feels compelled to spend $20 or more on clothing that they might not wear for more than a few days.
That’s why smaller and less popular fundraising products such as wristbands can offer such a huge advantage. A few dollars is an easy investment on the donor’s part, and the donor still gets to show their support with a wearable item.
You might think that you’d never raise enough funds with a lower-priced product, but at least in this case, the opposite is true. Not only is someone more likely to buy a wristband because of the low price, but they’re also more willing to share the fundraising link with their friends. It’s far easier to encourage a friend to spend a few dollars on a wristband than to invest $20 on a T-shirt.
Do T-shirts have their place? Absolutely. We adore T-shirts and have seen amazing results from fundraising campaigns that use them well. But sometimes, a product as simple as a wristband can change the way news spreads and generate even more support than you originally hoped for.
