How a Custom Tumbler Fundraiser Benefits Businesses

Offer customized company tumblers.

Your sellers can significantly enhance their sales if, in addition to approaching family and friends, they can also sell custom tumblers to businesses. This is an ideal opportunity because a business may become interested in placing a larger bulk order once they understand how a personalized tumbler can help them promote it. For example, a car dealership can give away a free tumbler as a way of saying thanks for taking a test drive.

Each tumbler can be designed with the business's name, logo, colors, and contact information. It's like providing a potential customer with a business card that can also be used for something else.

Here are the steps that your students will need to follow for a custom business tumbler to be designed for a local business:

Obtain Needed Business Information

First, obtain a business card and a black and white, laser-quality business name and logo on a clean sheet of paper. Tell the business contact person that the tumbler's design will be identical to what's on the sheet. No manual drawings or sketches will be processed. They can select any two colors from the following chart. Make sure the two color choices are also written down on the sheet:

1. Each business must purchase a minimum of 50 tumblers at $20 each. Tax may be applicable in some states.
2. Obtain a check with their order payable to your organization.

Take Your Tumbler Order

Fill in the order form as follows:

Then, staple the sheet and the business card to the back of your order form before turning it in. The business will receive an artwork proof form that the business must sign before their tumblers are printed. Tumblers are shipped directly to the business with a receipt for their records.

The Benefits:

• Businesses often buy marketing and promotional items in mass quantity, so they're used to placing larger orders.
• Students get a big order while only having to approach one potential customer.
• Students move up to the bigger and better prize levels instantaneously.
• Your students raise significantly more money for your organization.
