So you need to raise several thousand dollars in a short period of time. You have a very worthy cause that people would love to help. However, you’ve tried every traditional way to get the money that you need to no avail. You’ve done car washes, bake sales, sold cookies, and every other fundraiser you could think of. Chances are, the people you’re asking are getting tired of the same old routine. You need some unique fundraising ideas and you need them fast. Why not try something new? Silicone bracelets are the idea that you’ve been searching for.

Whether you’re supporting your local church group or trying to fund the cure for cancer, unique fundraising ideas are essential. Every business needs a unique selling proposition and fundraisers are no different. The same rules apply. If you can separate yourself from other fundraisers, people will love to help you.

With silicone bracelets, you can provide something that hasn’t been overdone. The silicone bracelets can be customized to say whatever you’d like them to. You can put a catch phrase on all of them, or individualize them for each customer. The customer will get something that they can wear again and again, instead of a consumable product that they’ll use once. This holds a large advantage over traditional forms of fundraising.

Silicone bracelets can come in a variety of colors and styles. If your organization has certain colors that you need to match, silicone bracelets can provide what you need. This will give the person who buys it a daily reminder of where it came from and thereby increasing the likelihood of them helping you again in the future.

Although it is good for repeat traffic, even a one-time fundraising cause will benefit from custom silicone bracelets. Some may need to raise just enough to offset medical expenses. Some may need to fund a trip of some sort. The different needs that can be met are endless. The main thing they all have in common is the need for a unique fundraising idea. Custom silicone bracelets are great in every situation.

They are inexpensive to make and can generate a large amount of money for your fundraising needs. No one wants to put thousands of dollars into a costly product. Being able to buy a small, lightweight, inexpensive fundraising product will save you time and frustration. Compare carrying a handful of these bracelets to a pallet of cookie boxes. There’s really no comparison on how easy they are to distribute.

If you need a unique fundraising idea, custom silicone bracelets are for you. They look great. They’re inexpensive, and can be customized to look like you want them to. There is no other fundraising product quite like a silicone bracelet.

Awareness Bracelet Craze

Ever since Lance Armstrong started the silicone wristband craze with

the release of his yellow “LIVESTRONG” wristbands, millions of people

worldwide have discovered a new and effective method of supporting

their favorite causes. Today, there is almost every color imaginable

to be found on these ubiquitous silicone bracelets; each one performing

their part in raising awareness for a multitude of diseases and causes.

What does the future hold for this latest fad to take our society (and

a plethora of others worldwide) by storm?

Fashionable Fad

Although silicone wristbands have become incredibly popular, it is

exceptionally difficult to argue that they are the height of fashion.

Even with the cachet factor, it is essential to remember that they are

made of rubber. Very few consumers are choosing to wear their awareness

bracelets to the ball or senior prom. However, this does not translate

into these wristbands as being “unfashionable” either. Indeed, silicone

wristbands have become a “fashionable fad.” A fad, by definition, is a

“short-lived fashion…something that is embraced very enthusiastically

for a short time, especially by many people.” Undoubtedly, many people

have enthusiastically embraced silicone bracelets. But, just how short-

lived is this awareness bracelet craze?

From Fad to Mainstay

Simple market analysis reveals to us a dichotomy in the silicone wristband

industry. Retail sales are beginning to lag, yet manufacturers are

producing silicone bracelets in record quantities, with no end in sight.

How is this possible? Simple. The fad is fading but a new, effective,

and inexpensive mainstay has taken its place – the custom silicone

wristband. Silicone bracelets have already proven themselves effective

for fundraising. Now, their fully customized cousins are proving even

more effective at targeting a variety of smaller causes, and they are

making a dramatic push into corporate promotions and trade shows. Custom

silicone wristbands are being adopted by small non-profit organizations,

large corporations, and everything in between as a powerful tool for

spreading their message, promoting their brand, and announcing new products

or even entirely new businesses. Is the key chain a fad? Is the coffee

mug, pen, calendar, mouse pad, or T-shirt a fad? No, these items are here

to stay. Custom silicone wristbands are here to stay as well. Customized

bracelets are more than just a simple promotional or fundraising item.

They are walking billboards. Human nature dictates that we share anything

that we have received free with practically everyone we meet. If we have

purchased a custom silicone wristband to support our local sports team,

church youth group, or favorite small charity, human nature often dictates

that we share this good deed as well.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that custom silicone wristbands can and will be used by

all types of organizations large and small. They are an inexpensive and

incredibly effective marketing tool that puts an exciting twist on word-

of-mouth advertising and viral marketing. Organizations are beginning to

realize that an investment of mere pennies per wristband has the potential

to reach dozens of prospective customers with each fully customized bracelet

introduced into their target market. In addition, local schools, churches,

and small non-profit organizations recognize the benefits of bolstering

school spirit or spreading their message while raising funds at the same

time. So, if you are looking for the silicone bracelet fad to fade any time

soon, look again. Custom silicone wristbands are not only here to stay, you

can expect to see even more of them as everyone from small local churches to

huge corporate conglomerates jump on board. With the possible combinations

of colors, messages, designs, and even sizes being infinite, creative minds

everywhere will be looking to harness the power of the custom silicone

wristband.
