Fundraising Lapel Pins Help Public Schools Accomplish More

Posted by Signature Pins | Monday June 6th, 2011 | Topic: Custom Lapel Pins
Fundraising is a big part of public school culture.  Elementary aged students up unto high school aged students assist faculty with various sales promotions throughout the year.  The objective from selling items is to provide the school with the financial means necessary to support different clubs, sports, and programs throughout the year.  Without these donations, art and music programs, championship games, and organized trips would fall by the wayside. Lapel pins are perfect for fundraising events for the following reasons:
  • They are custom which means that they can reflect the school itself, its students or the event that it is promoting.
  • They are durable and crafted with care which makes them last longer than other types of promotional products.
  • They can be worn on clothing which allows students, their family members, and other people in their community to show school pride and support.
  They are lightweight and portable which makes it easy to carry a large quantity of them with you wherever your event is taking place. Fundraising Pays For Extracurricular Activities and Field Trips Hosting fundraisers throughout the years helps pay for extracurricular activities and field trips.  Students and their families pitch in because they know how important it is to drive sales.  The more school lapel pins they sell, the bigger the profits they make.  This allows the public schools to offer the same types of luxuries that privately funded schools offer to their students. The School Name and Mascot Adds a Level of Sentiment to Pins One of the most notable features of custom lapel pins is the way in which they are created.  Schools can rest assured their design ideas will be put to good use by our talented team of artists.  We take your vision and turn it into a reality. Some of the most common things found on fundraising lapel pins include the school's name, colors, and team mascot.  They can also feature a class' graduation year or the name, date, and location of a school dance or other type of money raising event. Great Product to Be Sold at School Events and By Students to Raise Funds Students can help spearhead fundraising efforts by selling custom pins at the event itself.  This is a great way for young people to get involved.  It also allows donors to really get to know the children that they will be helping.  Being able to see where their funds are going is one of the things that philanthropists mention as being important to them. Higher Perceived Value Makes Lapel Pins Big Profit Makers Unlike other types of products, custom lapel pins have staying power.  Because they are created from metal, they are not going to break or fall apart like other fundraising items.  This gives them a higher perceived value which allows schools to make a much larger profit from them. Promotional lapel pins sold in a school setting are perfect for fundraising purposes.  If you're looking for something other than candy to sell this year, contact Signature Pins with your ideas and request.  We'll get to work right away coming up with artwork that reflects your school, its students or special event.
