Putting the ‘fun’ back in Fundraising

Putting the ‘fun’ back in Fundraising –fundraising products ideas for Schools & Churches by Peter Cardin

 

What types of activities do you think of when it comes to fundraising for schools, clubs or churches? Most of the events I've seen have used car washes, raffles and selling candies. The same boring activities year in, year out, could be limiting the amount of money you could raise for your school, club or church.
While we all love to help support our friends, family and community in their fundraising endeavours, we almost always end up with useless fundraising products that don't really add much values to our daily lives. Sometimes I look at these items and think, if only I could support my local church, school or club and actually get something useful out of it for myself!
Do useful fundraising products actually exist?
I've been to a number of tradeshows over the past few years and have been given many promotional products in my time, but the reality is that less than a handful of these have actually provided me with any real value. Probably the best promotional item I've been given is a Logo USB Flash Drive and as it is not widely used in fundraising, could give you that unique edge you need to raise more money for your school, club or church.
The great thing about USB Flash Drives is that they are useful in both your business and your personal life. Whether you want to store or share pictures of a family event, or transfer important documents or digital files from one device to another, it is no wonder Logo USB Flash Drives are chosen by businesses and organizations all over the world as their preferred giveaway.
Choosing which kind of USB model to use for your Fundraising event
Depending on the type of people you want to target with your fundraising, there are a wide variety of USB products to choose from. The most popular include usb pens, usb bottle openers, leather usbs, wooden usbs, usb cards, usb keys and usb bracelets. Some models have storage capacities of up to 16GB but as most people are more than happy with a 2GB Flash Drive, this tends to be the most popular.
The great thing about USB Flash Drives is that they are really easy to personalize with your school, church or club's logo. This can be done by either printing or laser engraving the logo onto the drives. If you think presentation will make all the difference to your potential fundraising customers, why not consider presentation tins, magnetic boxes, neckstraps, blister packs and key chains, all of which can make your products more attractive.
It is important to choose a reputable branded USB supplier who will help you choose the best model and storage capacity for your budget. At Flashbay, we help you ensure you get exactly what you want by providing an image mockup to show how your logo USB will look before you decide to buy. We can even preload videos, photos and documents onto your USB ready for you to use at your event.
Creative, Unique Fundraising products that people will want to buy!
Selling USB Flash Drives is a unique and creative way to raise money for your school, church or club by offering something which is cool, modern and really useful. So forget the cookies, t-shirts and candles and switch to selling USB Flash Drives today!
