Most of the time, you will find that high schools raise money with a special target in mind. It could be that your high school needs a new IT room or the cafeteria has seen better days. No matter what cause you are raising money for, it is important that you look at what fundraising tools you can use.
When you are running an event, handing out stickers is very popular. Stickers are relatively inexpensive to buy and you can order them online. But what happens to stickers? Yes, they are easy to hand out, but do they really support your cause?
The truth is that most people are more likely to discard or a throw away a sticker. Stickers often end up in a drawer or the trash can at home. If you were to offer a magnet instead, you would probably find that someone would display it.
That is one of the reasons magnets are a great fundraising tool.
Take a look at a magnet and you will realize you can say a lot on a magnet. Customizing your magnet is easy. You can mention the name of your high school, the event you are raising money for, and even the financial target. All that will help to make people aware of what you are doing.
People are more prepared to pay for a magnet than they are to pay for a sticker. They feel they get better value for money. As long as you keep your eye on the budget, you will raise more money when you use magnets. Magnets will last longer and become a constant reminder of your cause.
Magnets are not expensive to buy when compared to t-shirts, caps, and many other fundraising tools. They are fun, deliver a message, and people of all ages like them. Magnets don’t take up a lot of space and you don’t have to worry about carrying all different sizes. Don’t lose sight of the fact that we all like to collect things. One of the things we like to collect is magnets.
