Custom Sweatbands As Promo Items

Sept. 7, 2009 - PRLog -- Time and time again many musicians wear these kinds of accessories when playing live. Sweat wristbands and customized head bands are worn by people who play baseball, football, and many other sports. There are a lot of custom promo items, but one of the best and least expensive is custom sweatbands. We'll dig deep on how to use the sweatbands for raising money, athletic events, and even merch for a band.

How to Raise Money with Custom Sweatbands?

It's looking like you need to start a fundraiser for your organization. Your best bet is to turn toward some type of lower costing promotional item, whether it's custom silicone wristbands, headbands, or custom M&M's - that's up to you. On this specific article we are going to go in depth on how to use custom sweatbands. In the design phase make sure your logo is very simplistic and sticks out, this is absolutely key. People won't buy for reason's that don't interest them like charity or helping you goto France, they need to actually be interested in the design.Keep your artwork simple, it will pay off. Getting artwork and production of the sweatbands taken care of is only half the battle, you need to know how to make sales. Themes work very well for this. In a high school, one of the themes could possibly be a point system. Maybe each time someone buys in a certain class than you give them a point. If those points add up to a certain amount than they get a free pizza party because you divide the money up say 20% to the pizza party, 80% to the cause per sale. Something like this works great as long as people are buying and having fun! What about a campus? Students always have their own thing going, so you really need to grasp their attention if you want to make it work. There is a good solution to this; I like to call it "real em in". You might have to make an initial investment but at the end of the day it will be worth it. Orcastrate a show with bands, stand up acts, or something that is catchy. It's possible for you to ask for a donation as people walk in the door. Usually $5 is a good price for these. These are just a couple ideas on how you can use custom sweatbands as a fund raiser.

Inside Athletic Events

This is always fun because it really shows enthusiasm and excitement for your home team. This is not a way you can make a profit, it's only for fun. There are a few ways to go with this headbands and armbands for the team to wear, for the crowd to wear, or for both! I really like both because it shows that there is no separation between the crowd and the team. This will frighten the other team because it almost has a gladiator effect. A basic history lesson will tell you that warriors wore the same accessories to look alike on the battlefield. These days, it's the same concept, but not so grusome. You can use these with your schools bball players and crowd. If the crowd's favorite player wears a head sweatband, this can be useful. You could order a headband with that person's nickname and hand them out for free. What's cool is how easy they are to see and how much energy they generate.

Music Merch

I have seen a lot of bands ordering custom band shirts, trying to sell them at $10-20 to make a profit. The thing you need to be thinking about is price, that's why you must looks for cheap band merch that you will also be able to sell. Custom sweatbands are a much better choice, when you order 1000 embroidered sweatbands at $1.49 per band if you sell them at your shows for only $5, you make $3510 profit. The best option when it comes to band merch is custom sweatbands because of the cost. All types of musicians are wearing wristbands such as pop, rock, emo, heavy metal, rap, indie, techno, hip hop, r&b and etc. The more they are using them, the more people will want them.

In closing custom sweatbands can be a great promotional item. As you have read they can also be great for many other things. Visit http://www.sertopbands.com for more on how to use custom sweatbands
