Using Elementary School Car Magnets for Fundraising

Elementary school fundraising isn’t easy. While you certainly have the benefit of cuteness on your side, your sales staff (the students) aren’t going to be able to explain a complicated fundraiser. Elementary school car magnets offer a great option for fundraising.

There are many reasons why custom car magnets fit well for elementary school fundraising. Let’s look at a few of the reasons you should consider elementary school car magnets for one of your fundraisers this year.

5 Reasons to Choose Elementary School Car Magnets for Fundraising

1. Targets Your Main Audience

For most elementary schools, the main audience willing to help out the school will be the parents and grandparents of the students. You might be able to get a few other family members involved, too, but it’s typically the families of the students that purchase whatever you sell and help you raise money.

Elementary school car magnets offer a great option because parents and grandparents will be happy to show off their pride for the school. They will likely enjoy displaying the magnet on their car and won’t hesitate to spend a few bucks to help out the elementary school.

2. Easy to Sell

Custom car magnet fundraisers are so simple any child can explain them. All they have to do is know the price and show off the magnet. It’s very simple, unlike other types of fundraisers, which might require order taking, money collecting, storing a product, and delivering the product.

Elementary school car magnets can easily be sold through the student or through some type of packet sent home with the student. They won’t require young children to go door-to-door either.

3. Customizable

Of course, you can customize your elementary school car magnets to fit your needs. Whether you want to show off the school specifically or you want to promote a group, such as the cheerleading team, these magnets can be designed to fit any group within your elementary school.

4. Can be Sold at Events

Maybe you want to sell custom car magnets as a fundraiser throughout the year. You can sell them at elementary school events, such as plays, sporting events, and more.

This can make it very easy to reach a larger audience of family members when they show up to see their niece, nephew, grandchild, cousin, son, or daughter perform in the school’s play or play in a sporting event.

5. Low Cost/High-Profit Margin

You will have the ability to raise money for your school without the high upfront cost of some fundraiser or the high cost to the purchaser. elementary school car magnets are very affordable (the more you buy, the cheaper they become) and you can sell them for a high-profit margin.

They can be purchased for as little as about $1 and can be sold for as much as $15 per magnet. Even with an average sales price of $7.50 per magnet, you can make quite a bit more than you spend for each magnet.

If you’re looking for an excellent fundraiser for your elementary school, custom car magnets offer a great option.

Car magnets for PTA and PTO Fundraising

PTA and PTO Fundraising

Welcome to the new PTA and PTO Officers

School’s out for summer, and that means relaxing days, hanging out with the kids at the pool. Unless you are one of the new officers in your PTA or PTO.

 

If you are one of those lucky souls, then your summer will also include planning for the upcoming school year. The duties and functions of your PTA/PTO are many and varied, but there is one constant…fundraising. Your PTA/PTO will be constantly raising money to help your school. The money you raise and gift to your school might be helping to purchase things as important as computers for the students, or even florescent vests for your Crossing Guards. There are hundreds of ways that your donated money will be used.

 

If you Google “PTA fundraising ideas” you’ll get dozens of ideas, and most of them are very labor-intensive. In fact, they will resemble a full-time job. Most of these fundraisers will make you scratch your head in disbelief (will these events actually make money?). To get an idea of what I’m talking about, just click on the link from PTO Today.  I can’t even guess at how much preparation these fundraisers require to pull off successfully, but these type of events are critical to fundraising.

 

Your fundraising year does not include a single event that will meet your financial goals by itself. PTA and PTO fundraising is a year-long effort that will include several different events. A successful fundraising year is a mixture of various money making opportunities.

 

The easiest fundraisers are those that do not involve scheduled events (car washes, bake sales, etc.), but involve sales of merchandise to the parents of your students. Again, you can Google this and get a lot of ideas, but most of the items offered to PTA/PTO’s are pretty lame. But there are some items that you can sell that don’t insult your intelligence, like car magnets customized for you school (I’m a little biased because ARC Marketing makes the highest quality car magnets in America).

 

Car magnets should be part of your fundraising mix. We will do all the design work for free (we have awesome artists who know how to create cool designs), and we’ll print them and ship them to you in 2 weeks or less. Car magnets can be stored forever, so you can sell them all school year long. And you can make a lot of money with a custom car magnet. For example, if your school bought 500 oval magnets (customized with your school colors, your school mascot, your school name, etc.) and sold them for $6 each (that’s our suggested selling price), you would make $2,260.00!!! Not bad!

 

So, here’s what you need to do next; have one of our artists start working on your design. It’s free, it’s easy and it’s fun. All that we need to know from you is a little bit about your school (name, mascot, etc.) To get started, just click here and complete a short questionnaire. In about one day, your new magnet design will magically appear in your in-box and you’re ready to go. Rather talk to a real person? Give us a call at 760-743-6340 and we can handle everything over the phone.

Happy Fundraising!

School Fundraising Car Magnets

Okay, it’s the middle of August, and your PTA/PTO still hasn’t finished their fundraising. Well, today could be the day that you can finally say “We’re Done!”.

The car magnet experts at ARC Marketing can design, print and deliver your new custom magnets in about 2 weeks. That means in about 14 days, your parents could be rockin’ your new magnet on their cars, trucks, mini vans, SUV’s and more.

Want to use this magnet in your refrigerator? No problem; this is a fridge-magnet on steroids. The magnetic strength of this magnet is about 10 times as strong as your typical fridge magnet. You can hold up a week’s worth of homework with this magnet. The days of slamming the fridge shut and having everything fall to the kitchen floor are over.

On your car, on your fridge, on your school locker… this magnet is going to put your school on the map and your fundraising on the fast-track to success.

How much can you sell these for? Quite a few schools are selling them for $10 each with no price resistance. Most parents realize that the money they pay for the magnet is a donation to the PTA, and the magnet is a gift for their donation, so in essence… money is no object.

How much money can you raise with our magnets? Let’s say you have us print 250 magnets at $2 each (your cost). Now let’s say you sell them for $7.50 each (that’s the average fundraising price). That’s a $5.50 profit on each magnet. Sell all 250 magnets and your PTA will raise $1,375. Try doing that with magazine subscriptions. Have a bigger school? Order more magnets and double your profits.

Now, we’re not saying that our car magnets are going to be all you need to do for fundraising this year, but custom car magnets should be part of your fundraising “mix”.

Let us help you get started with a free magnet design created just for you by one of our expert designers. It’s fast, it’s easy and it’s free. Just fill out a simple form, giving us an idea of how you would like your magnet to look, and we’ll get a design to you ASAP. Just click here, or give us a call at 760-743-6340.

Get your students involved in your Custom Car Magnet Design

John Stockton Elementary in Jacksonville Florida wanted to come up with a fundraising magnet, but they wanted to have the students help design it. They had a contest where all of the students could create a magnet design, and submit it into the contest. The winning magnet would be turned into the car magnet that would be used to represent the school.

Student Miles J. came up with the winning design, and our art department cleaned up the artwork so that the finished magnet would look professionally designed.

Here are the “before” and “after” designs.
