Everyone loves t-shirts and when they support your cause or volunteering event, they’re simply adored.
Why?
Buying a t-shirt is a common, everyday act, and we all enjoy helping others in ways that feel comfortable. How often do you see people wearing a t-shirt promoting a cause (Save the Whales, Autism Speaks, Think Local Act Global) or event (I Walk for Breast Cancer, Support Haiti)? That shirt means something to the wearer and communicates to others that they participate - they care.
3 Ways a T-Shirt Fundraiser Can Boost Revenues for your Existing Event.
1. T-shirts increase awareness and generate buzz.
Printed apparel raises awareness of an event and gets others talking. It allows for your fundraiser to extend past the class or boardroom and into the personal lives of volunteers, supporters and their friends.
2. T-shirts build camaraderie and group identity.
Give one person a shirt, and they’ll thank you. Give a group matching shirts and they’ll wear them with pride, unity and gratitude for the event that brought them together – and beyond.
3. T-shirt fundraisers increase profit.
T-shirts offer significant profit, often starting at $5 or more per shirt. This means that the sale of just a few items per seller can quickly add up to significant group profits.
