Custom Wristbands Make GREAT School Fundraisers!

Dec. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- In recent years, as school budgets have shrunk, schools have been forced to seek new ways to raise money for clubs and activities. Selling custom wristbands has become one of the more popular fundraising methods. Sports teams, bands, clubs and other school organizations have turned to custom wristband sales to raise money for new equipment, uniforms, special trips and other activities.

The key to the success of custom wristbands as a fundraising product is the fact that they are extremely inexpensive to produce. That means they can be purchased in bulk at a low price and resold at a low price that still has a high profit margin.
Wristbands Direct is your Number One source for custom wristbands of all styles. We can help you design great-looking wristbands that you'll be proud to have representing your school.

Custom wristbands are easy to sell, because they appeal to school spirit and foster a natural sense of belonging. Especially at an age when students want to blend in, being part of a wristband wearing crowd is comforting. Wristbands also are easy to buy, because they can be sold for as little as $1 each and still be quite profitable.

Custom silicone wristbands exploded onto the world pop culture scene in 2004. Cyclist Lance Armstrong started the wristband craze by introducing the now legendary yellow "Livestrong" wristband. The yellow wristband has since raised millions of dollars for cancer research. It also rapidly went around the globe as a fashion fad for both adults and children.

Custom wristbands remain popular with students of all ages to this day. They are available in a variety of styles and a broad spectrum of colors.
Start with the classic debossed wristband, which is the style of the “Livestrong” band. This wristband style features lettering pressed directly into the silicone, for a clean, uncluttered look. The wristband itself can be made in a choice of many colors.

Debossed painted wristbands fill in the lettering with colored ink, creating a bright, colorful band that students are sure to love. Silk screened wristbands print the message right onto the band, allowing for more detail and smaller text. Embossed bands raise the lettering above the wristband http://www.wristbands-direct.com/silicone/custom/promotio... to make the message stand out.
