Why Sportswear Incentives Improve Band Fundraisers

Learn who your band should consider sportswear incentives.

High school band students must learn to work together as a cohesive unit to succeed. They’re asked to represent their school and community at various year-round events proudly. And to achieve their objectives, bands must raise a lot of money.

When considering a brochure fundraiser, we recommend that sponsors consider offering sportswear as a motivational incentive. There are several advantages that sportswear incentives offer band fundraisers over more traditional prize programs.

For example, sponsors can use sportswear to set their fundraising goals for their sellers. To earn a specific sportswear item, students must sell several items. For example, a band director may want their students to work for an embroidered polo shirt to wear at certain events.

All students would therefore need to sell the same number of brochure items. Here are a few additional reasons why you may want to consider it as well for your group:

Sportswear Helps Them Represent Their School

Since the sportswear is personalized with the school name and colors, band members represent their organization wherever they go. Just as they proudly wear their uniforms, the same can be said when everyone’s wearing their sportswear.

Sportswear Offers Band Members More Value

Sportswear is more appealing to high school students than other prize incentives. Whenever they wear their apparel, they’re representing their school and organization. Students will wear their band sportswear with pride.

Sportswear is Worth Higher Fundraising Goals

The sportswear that band students earn requires them to sell more items. This fits well with the more money they must raise compared to the average group. The garments are made with high-quality fabric that will last over time. As opposed to silkscreen, all text is embroidered into the material. This helps make sportswear more desirable and worth selling for.
