Personalized wristbands are worn on the wrist, engraved with a catchy slogan telling something about the cause. The use of personalized wristbands came into being largely from the efforts of Lance Armstrong, a great cyclist, who raised funds for cancer with his live strong Campaign. Millions of yellow wristbands were sold with the slogan “live strong” engraved on it. This idea was a huge success because many celebrities started supporting this cause. Some of the famous celebrities Rock Star Bono and others wore white silicone personalized wristband to support “Make support History” campaign.
If you want to raise money for a cause through personalized wristbands, just follow some simple steps. First step is chose a slogan for your wristband. The slogan should be a short series of words that says something about the cause you tend to promote. Eg. If you want to promote global warming cause, slogan like “Don’t cut trees”, “stop smoking” can be engraved on the band as it is short and sweet. Choosing the color is also one of the important features of the wristband. The color should be attractive so that people can buy it. Choose bright colors. You can also use a mixture of colors but see to it that those colors are available. Determine how many personalized wristbands you need to promote the cause. Another thing is the type of material you require for your cause. Mostly silicone bracelets or rubber bracelets are usually best in the long run.
There are many benefits of using personalized wristbands to promote a brand. The amount that is spent on buying and printing the personalized wristband is very less when compared to hire a famous model to endorse your product. Personalized wristbands can use a wide coverage area to market your brand. If a company sells computers it can promote the product by distributing personalized wristbands to patrons who visit their booth at the national trade fair. This will help the company because participants at national or regional trade fairs come from a wide geographic range. A personalized wristband is tangible; it can be felt, seen and constantly remembered.
Some people like to remember the fun they had at an event. Be it a family reunion or other event people buy personalized wristbands to remember it. For example, a Lincoln family chose to buy personalized blue wristbands and emboss the words “Lincoln family reunion 2008”. To souvenir this event Lincoln family distributed blue personalized wristbands to their family members. Souvenirs can also be used at other places like a motel or theme park, you can give customers personalized wristbands as a reminder that they were there. Personalized wristbands are fun, cheap and widely available.
