Autism Awareness Day is Just Around the Corner

April 2nd marks Autism Awareness Day and it’s a good reminder to start your custom car magnet fundraiser and use autism awareness ribbon magnets. These magnets make for a great choice when you want to raise funds for your group and raise awareness about autism.

This year will be the 14th annual World Autism Awareness Day and you can join in by running your fundraiser in the month of April. Many will come together to help raise awareness for autism and support those that love those with autism.

April is the month for autism-friendly events and a great time to run your custom car magnet fundraiser with autism awareness magnets. Many consider the entire month of April to be World Autism Awareness Month, which means you can start your fundraiser and participate in this great event.

The History of World Autism Awareness Day

The word Autism started to be used in 1911. It was first introduced by psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler and was used to describe the symptoms of schizophrenia.

The way Autism was defined changed later in 1943 when psychiatrist Dr. Leo Kanner used the word to describe a social and emotional disorder in children. Even though the word Autism has been used for more than a century, World Autism Day wasn’t started until 2007. It was first set up by the United Nations General Assembly through Resolution 62/139 and has been held on April 2nd of each year since 2007.

The day is filled with unique traditions including wearing the color blue and several events to help educate the public. It’s common for Autism Awareness Day to spark fundraisers and all types of awareness events throughout the month of April. You can start your awareness fundraiser for Autism in April, too.

Stats About Autism Awareness

With April 2nd marking the 14th annual Autism Awareness Day, it’s good to understand some of the stats about Autism.

  • 1 in 145 girls was diagnosed with ASD in 2016, while 1 in 34 boys was diagnosed with ASD
  • The most common age children are diagnosed with ASD is 4
  • 1 in 59 children was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder in 2018
  • Children with a child with autism have a 2% to 18% chance of having a second child with autism
  • About 31% of children have an intellectual disability because of ASD

There are many things that can cause autism and it’s a rather complex thing. It’s important to spread awareness on Autism Awareness Day and all throughout the year.

Some of the ways you can observe World Autism Awareness Day include:

  • Sharing information online
  • Starting your custom magnet fundraiser with Autism magnets
  • Get involved with a local autism association
  • Attend awareness events

Taking the time to make others aware is a great way to help those with ASD. It’s very helpful to diagnose autism as early as possible and it’s important to spread awareness so parents and others know how to do this.

Recently, I came across a useful guide for people with ASD using the internet, here:

If you’re planning a custom car magnet fundraiser and you want to use autism awareness magnets, starting it in April is a great idea. We can help you with our autism awareness magnets.

Top Fundraising Ideas for Teen Youth Groups

Top Fundraising Ideas for Teen Youth Groups

Teen youth groups often need to raise money for outings, field trips, supplies, parties, and more. When this is the case, you need a great fundraising idea teens will enjoy as they raise money for the group.

Depending on your youth group, you may want to choose an awareness custom car magnet and partner with a charity, such as autism awareness or cancer awareness. This can help reach the emotional side of your teens and those they are selling to, along with providing funds for your youth group and the charity you partner with.

Here are some of the good fundraising ideas to consider, but selling custom awareness magnets will offer a higher profit margin and an easier fundraiser to run.

7 Fundraising Ideas for Teen Youth Groups

1. Unique Car Wash

Everybody loves a good car wash, but why not make it a bit unique? Put your own twist on it by letting your teens dress up to fit a theme or even putting on a quick little show of some sort during the car wash.

Imagine if you had a team of superheroes ready to wash cars. This could be a fun theme and you could even give away a custom car magnet with any donation of $20 or more.

2. Gift Wrapping

During the holiday season, everybody needs gifts to be wrapped. You can have a spot at your church or school where you offer to wrap gifts and make it known you will be available for a certain amount of hours and days.

3. T-Shirt Fundraiser

Custom t-shirts can be fun for teens to sell if you get the right design. However, be prepared to deal with sizes and issues if someone doesn’t like the way it fits.

4. Big Game Party

If the Super Bowl is coming up or another big game, you can hold a huge event for it or do multiple house parties with a telecast. This can be a good way to raise money as you charge an entry donation and encourage those attending to bring snacks and beverages.

5. Fashion Show

If your group of teens are into fashion, a fashion show offers a good fundraiser. You can pair it with a 50/50 drawing, selling concessions, a dinner, and selling custom car magnets for the ultimate fundraiser.

All you need is a space to hold the fashion show, chairs, and a runway. Then, you just need to get some students and parents to do the modeling and put your own unique twist on the show.

6. Sock Fundraiser

Selling socks is a bit unique and some groups of teens might like this type of fundraiser. It can be fun, but also a bit odd for some people.

7.  Spaghetti Dinner

Pasta dinners are very cheap to run as pasta is cheap to make. With teens, you can let them do serving and cooking, with supervision, and run the event. It’s a great way to bring together the community and raise some cash.

You can pair selling custom car magnets for your group with any event fundraiser to make it even better. This can help you gain bigger donations and bring in more cash.

Custom Car Magnets vs. T-Shirt Fundraisers

Custom Car Magnets vs. T-Shirt Fundraisers

You have plenty of fundraisers to choose from. Whether you want to sell a food product or a non-food product, there are plenty of offers out there. Two of the offers are custom car magnets and t-shirts.

If you are considering selling custom car magnets or custom t-shirts to raise money for your sports team, school, church, or any other type of organization, it’s important to look at both. Let’s compare these two types of fundraisers to ensure you make the right decision.

Selling Custom Car Magnets as a Fundraiser

One of the best fundraisers for many types of organizations is a custom car magnet fundraiser. You don’t need special storage and you don’t have to take orders. Instead, you customize your magnets, buy them, and sell them for a nice profit.

Custom car magnets are very inexpensive and provide an easy way to raise money. You can sell these magnets at your events, to the parents of those participating, to fans, and to those looking to support your organization.

It’s even possible to use custom car magnets to raise awareness as a part of your fundraiser. Whether it’s autism awareness magnets or cancer awareness magnets, these magnets can help you raise money and raise awareness at the same time.

Custom car magnets can be designed to promote your organization or cause, while also raising money for your needs. This is a great one-two punch to help put you on the map and put the money in your pocket you need.

Selling T-Shirts as a Fundraiser

T-shirts can also be sold pretty easily for your fundraising needs. They don’t require special storage as a food product might, but you might end up needing to take orders. Buying a large number of t-shirts upfront can be a bit expensive and you’ll be taking a chance.

When you sell t-shirts, you have to have the right sizes. This means you might need to take orders before filling them. If you try to order a bunch of t-shirts upfront, you might run out of the size you need and struggle to sell the other sizes.

While selling t-shirts can be a good way to raise money, it might not fit with all organizations. It can be difficult to sell t-shirts if you don’t have a store or a place to display them. Of course, you can take orders ahead of time, which can make this a more successful fundraiser.

Custom car magnets and t-shirt fundraisers are very different, but also similar in some ways. You will be selling a non-food product, which means no storage issues. However, custom car magnets are a one-size-fits-all solution, while t-shirts have to come in multiple sizes.

Both fundraisers can work to help you raise money. If you want the easier, more profitable option, choose custom car magnets. If you have a store or an easy way to sell t-shirts, it might offer a good option. However, t-shirts will have to be sold for a higher price than car magnets.

Choose your fundraiser wisely. Custom car magnets offer a better option compared to selling t-shirts for your fundraising needs.

All You Need to Know About Custom Awareness Magnets

Whether you’re just trying to raise awareness or you’re also trying to raise money, custom awareness magnets give you the right tool. With the right awareness magnet, you can promote your cause, along with raise money.

Ribbon awareness magnets are the most popular and really started to take off after the tragic events of 9/11. Today, these custom awareness magnets are used for a number of things from Breast Cancer to Military Support.

While the main goal of an awareness magnet is to raise awareness, it can also be used for fundraising. You can purchase custom awareness magnets to give away for free, but you can also sell them for a nice profit.

If you’re looking for a way to spread the word and raise money, choosing one of our custom awareness magnets might be the perfect choice. Here’s a look at a few things to consider when it comes to custom awareness magnets.

Spread the Message Far and Wide

When you give away or sell custom awareness magnets they are designed to be displayed on cars. Every single person that receives one might put it on the back of their vehicle and drive around town.

Not only will you be spreading awareness to the person receiving the magnet, but you will also be spreading awareness to those seeing the magnet.

More than Just Ribbon Magnets

While the ribbon awareness magnets are great and provide an excellent tool, there are other choices, too. Custom awareness magnets come in all shapes and sizes including round, oval, and custom shapes. You don’t have to choose a ribbon magnet and you might spread even more awareness by using a round or oval magnet instead.

Your magnet design can include easy to read information and can include a ribbon if you prefer. It doesn’t have to be cut to look like a ribbon to spread awareness, however. Check out some of our custom awareness car magnets in our gallery here.

Support a Cause While Raising Money

Whether you’re trying to raise money for a church youth group or a sports team, custom awareness car magnets gives you a great option. You can support a cause and raise money at the same time.

For example, you can choose to raise money for your group, while spreading autism awareness. With autism awareness car magnets, you’ll be able to help spread awareness while raising money you need for your group. You can even donate a portion of the proceeds to a charity to support autism.

It doesn’t matter the reason you want to sell or give out custom awareness magnets, we’re here to help. At ARC Marketing, we provide a number of custom car magnets for raising money and raising awareness. Our professional design team will help you choose the best option for your needs and the virtual design process is always free of charge.

What Makes Your Fundraiser a Success?

What Makes Your Fundraiser a Success?

When you look at a fundraiser, you should be able to evaluate the success of it. You want to be able to measure the success to ensure you know if the fundraiser should be repeated next year or next season.

There are a few specific factors you want to look at when evaluating the success of a fundraiser:

  1. Money Raised vs. Money Spent
  2. Relationships Gained
  3. Awareness Spread

Some fundraisers aren’t necessarily designed to raise a large sum of money. Instead, they are more about creating awareness or relationships.

After you’ve completed your fundraiser, here are the ways you can figure out if it was a success.

How Much Money Was Raised

The clearest indicator of a successful fundraiser will be the money raised. In most cases, the main goal of a fundraiser is to raise funds for the group or organization. Of course, you cannot just look at the amount raised, as you may have had expenses along the way.

You want to look at the overall return on investment to ensure your fundraiser was a success. Take the total amount raised and subtract any expenses you incurred to figure out the return on investment.

Of course, the amount raised is just the start. You also want to evaluate how much time was invested in the fundraiser. While you may have raised a few thousand dollars, if running the fundraiser was like a full-time job for several months, it may not have been a success.

The goal with any good fundraiser is to raise as much money as possible while investing only the necessary amount of time. If you have to spend too much time organizing and planning, with very little payoff, it may not be worth running that specific fundraiser again.

Did you Gain Relationships?

Relationships are a very important part of the success of many fundraisers, especially the first few times they are held. Maybe you only raised a little bit of money, but you have gained several relationships with sponsors willing to commit to the same fundraiser next year.

When you gain relationships and you can see the potential for growth with a fundraiser, it may have been a success without raising a huge amount of cash. This is the case for Gala events and Golf Outings. These types of events may take a few years to build and creating new relationships in year one can provide a strong foundation for year two.

Spreading Awareness

In some cases, a fundraiser is less about raising a large sum of cash and more about spreading awareness. Maybe you’re using a custom magnet fundraiser to spread awareness for a specific disease. Your goal may be to raise money, but also to spread awareness.

When evaluating the success of your fundraiser, it’s important to look at both the funds raised and the awareness spread. Maybe you sold/gave out thousands of magnets, so you know you spread a ton of awareness, but you only raised a little bit of money. Your fundraiser can be a success, even in this case.

Figuring out what makes your fundraiser a success will depend on your goals. Make sure you set clear goals for your fundraiser and you’ll be able to easily measure its’ success.

Fundraising Car Magnets for Autism Awareness

One of the many ways that car magnets can provide a powerful message is through “cause marketing”. Autism Awareness is one of the causes that have embraced car magnets as a tool to get the message out to the people.

Most websites that offer Autism Car Magnets have generic magnets that are pre-printed and stocked in inventory. The advantage to this is that you can order 1 or 2 of these generic autism magnets, and you can get them pretty fast; usually shipping to you in about 3 days. These generic autism magnets usually cost about $5 each, plus shipping. Putting this type of magnet on your car makes you one of a thousand, if not one of 100,000. While this autism magnet will help the autism cause as a whole, it will do nothing to advance your own personal autism story.

But if you have bigger plans, and if you want a customized car magnet for your Autism Awareness Program, then ARC Marketing can offer a solution. Let one of our designers create a magnet specifically for your group. Customized magnets can provide more impact, create more fundraising dollars and shine the spotlight on your specific cause. Also, since you will be buying at least 50 of your custom car magnets, the price could well be lower than the generic magnets. 50 custom 5” oval magnets (designed exclusively for you) will cost only $3.50 each. Buy more and the price is even less. For example, buy 150 custom autism car magnets and the price goes down to $2.10 each. Sell those magnets for $5 each and the fundraising potential is huge! Mention this blog post and we will also pay your set-up charge (normally $50).

Don’t wait! Start creating awareness and start making money! You can do both with a custom car magnet from ARC Marketing!
