When it comes to fundraising for your team, there are countless options to choose from. However, one fundraising option that has proven to be successful for many teams is a team blanket fundraiser. Not only is this a unique way to raise money, but it also gives participants a physical item that they can use and be reminded of the team every time they use it. In this post, we will cover the benefits of participating in a team blanket fundraiser, how it works, and tips for making the most out of your fundraising efforts.
In addition team stadium blankets are often lifetime mementos. Think about it … when was the last time you threw away a nice warm blanket?
Choosing the Right Blanket
The first step in a team blanket fundraiser is choosing the right blanket. There are many different types of blankets available, from fleece to microfiber to wool. Considerations when choosing a blanket include size, material, design, and cost. It’s important to ensure that the blanket is high-quality and will stand the test of time. A good way to ensure this is to order samples of the blanket before placing a large order.
AMBRO Manufacturing offers a high quality 50″ x 60″ poly/cotton blanket. These traditional stadium blankets are made from sweatshirt material.
Setting a Fundraising Goal
Once you have chosen the perfect blanket, it’s time to set a fundraising goal. This can be a challenging task, but it’s important to be realistic. Take into account the number of participants and the cost of the blanket when setting your goal. It’s also important to consider any additional costs such as shipping and handling.
Promoting the fundraiser and reaching the goal is crucial for success. Utilize social media, email, and other communication channels to spread the word about the fundraiser. Encourage participants to share with their friends and family. You can also consider offering incentives for reaching certain fundraising milestones.
It is not uncommon to be able to earn $10-$15 per blanket sale. Stadium blanket fundraisers are a great way to earn extra income for the school or individual school programs.
Ordering and Distribution
When it comes to ordering and distribution, it’s important to have a clear plan in place. Make sure to place the blanket order well in advance to ensure that they will arrive on time. Once the blankets have arrived, it’s important to have a plan in place for distributing them to participants. Consider holding a special event to hand out the blankets and thank participants for their support.
In conclusion, a team blanket fundraiser is a unique and effective way to raise money for your team. Not only does it provide participants with a physical item that they can use, but it also serves as a reminder of their support for the team. By choosing the right blanket, setting a realistic fundraising goal, promoting the fundraiser, and having a solid plan for ordering and distribution, your team blanket fundraiser is sure to be a success.
