No, we don’t mean magnets for your “Sports Car”, but we do mean ”car magnets” for your favorite Youth Sports Team!

Fundraising is such a big part of youth sports. In fact, without fundraising most youth sports would be unaffordable to all except the 1%!

If you are a typical parent, as soon as your kids reach 5 years old they want to play soccer, lacrosse, baseball, softball and more. Every conceivable team sport is available on a league level to kids of all ages. Some of you have several kids playing organized sports and most even have each kid playing in more than one sport. No sooner is one sport finished (baseball for example), then the next sport begins (lacrosse for example), followed by football… it never ends.

As a parent, you know that it is easy to shell out more than $1,000 each year (per kid!). OUCH.

So, if you work on the Board of Directors for one or more of these leagues, suggest custom sports car magnets as a fundraiser. The money raised by our hot-selling custom car magnets will lighten the burden that each parent pays.

Is it difficult to get a custom sports car magnet? Not if you’re working with ARC Marketing! We’ll do all the work; you take all the glory. We’ll design your new magnet for free so you have nothing to risk. All you need to do is give us a little info about your team or league (Team Name, Team Colors, Mascot, etc.) and one of our expert designers will get busy designing a game changing car magnet that you and your kids will be proud of.

Car Magnets for Youth Sports Fundraising

Okay, show of hands… how many of you parents have kids in youth sports? I’m talking about Little League Baseball, Pop Warner Football, Junior Hockey, Youth Soccer and more. It seems like it never ends… as soon as one sport ends then the next sport is just beginning.

Little League Baseball typically runs from early March through late May. Now you get to take June and (maybe) July off before Youth Football season starts. Youth Football season runs from August through the end of October (that’s just the regular season) and through mid-November if your kid’s team makes the playoffs.

Mix in hockey, golf, lacrosse, cheer, soccer, gymnastics, water polo, swim team, tennis and every other imaginable sport and it’s no wonder today’s parents are frazzled. And it’s not just a time commitment, there’s a lot of money to be spent on equipment and other expenses. According to an article in USA Today the typical parent of a kid in a single youth sport spends $671 per year, and that’s the average.

Youth Football is one of the most expensive, along with youth hockey. Very expensive, but very safe equipment makes up a lot of this expense but you don’t want to go cheap here. Football can be a dangerous sport, so the latest gear is essential for the safety of your young star. Add in league fees, coaching fees, uniforms, etc. and you’re not going to get out of there for less than $1,000.

This is why your league has a “Fundraising Officer”. Your league has probably identified those expenses that are best paid by all parents as a group (uniforms, travel expenses, intramural fees) and they conduct several fundraisers during the year to help pay for these “shared” expenses. An effective Fundraising Officer will use several different fundraising techniques over the course of a season. Some fundraisers are labor intensive and do not require much upfront expense (like car washes and bake sales) and some require upfront costs but are not labor intensive (selling tee shirts or custom car magnets).

Let us show you how lucrative a custom car magnet can be for your team or league. Car magnets will return a much greater profit than almost every other fundraising item, and it will add a lot of swagger to your team (imagine hundreds of cars in your town with your magnet on the back bumper!).

Custom Car Magnets for Youth Hockey

Aviator Hockey Club custom car magnet

As mentioned many times before, youth sports is an expensive endeavor. Youth Hockey just might be the most expensive; the list of necessary items for a hockey player seems to be endless, and most of those items seem to be unrealistically expensive. Want an example? Try skates… a decent pair of hockey skates will cost you anywhere from $200 to $500! Want more bad news? Your young hockey player will outgrow those in the first year, so consider the cost of skates an annual expense. Also needed (and probably outgrown every year) will be gloves, helmets, pads, sticks, etc.

These are just the things that parents have to buy for their young hockey player. An additional expense (but still a huge expense) are the shared “team related” expenses such as “ice-time” for practice (your team has to pay to practice on the ice), travel expenses for road games (gas, hotels, food) and more.

Fundraising has become a huge piece of the puzzle for youth sports. These shared expenses can be greatly reduced by running an effective fundraising campaign. There are many fundraising options available, and each team/league should use several throughout the year. One of the most effective fundraising items are custom car magnets, designed specifically for your team or league. Car magnets are an easy item to sell, and since they have your logo on them, every parent, every coach and community member will proudly display one on their car.

There are several companies that make high quality car magnets. Every company does it a little differently, so ask questions. To get more information about our custom car magnets, visit our website at www.arcmktg.com. One of our artists will design your magnet for FREE, then we will print and ship your magnets (usually in 2 weeks or less). A 200% profit is easy to get, and we can show you how!

This is the magnet that we designed and printed for the Aviator Hockey Club in Brooklyn, NY. They began selling these last weekend at a tournament and will continue selling them throughout the year. They bought 500 magnets and they are selling them for $10 each. This means that they will make a profit of over $4,000 on their investment of $815. We can do the same thing for your hockey team!
