How to Make Fundraising for Youth Sports Easier

Have you been put in charge of choosing the fundraiser for your youth sports league or team? Do you need to come up with a way to raise money, but you’re worried it will become a big struggle?

There are plenty of ways to make fundraising for youth sports easier. When you’re ready to raise money for a baseball, basketball, football, soccer, or softball team, you need the right tips and the right fundraiser.

Top 3 Tips to Make Fundraising for Youth Sports Easier

1. Don’t Count on Just One Fundraiser

While you might be able to raise the money, you need with one fundraiser, most youth sports leagues will need multiple fundraisers. You can do one big fundraiser each season, but also incorporate other smaller fundraisers at games and at awards banquets.

For example, you can sell custom car magnets for each team as a part of your big fundraiser or as a part of your ongoing fundraising efforts at games. You can also use 50/50 raffles, concessions, and other fundraisers at each game and even at the awards banquet each year.

2. Get Small Businesses Involved

Businesses love to support the community and you can use this to your advantage when fundraising for youth sports leagues. You can have a small business sponsor your custom car magnet fundraiser and cover the cost of the magnets in exchange for advertising at games and other events throughout the season and even in the off season.

You can also get small businesses to sponsor teams within your league. They can pay for the cost of uniforms in exchange for their logo being printed on the uniforms for the team they sponsor.

3. Get the Players Involved

You have a built-in sales force with all the players on each team. When you’re in charge of the fundraiser for your youth sports league, get the players involved. No matter the fundraiser you choose, make sure you get them involved as they should be your sales staff for custom car magnets or the labor at a car wash fundraiser.

Choosing the Right Fundraiser for Youth Sports

While these three tips will certainly lead you in the right direction, choosing the right fundraiser for youth sports will help you raise more money faster. With a good fundraiser for your sports league, you’ll be able to raise the money you need without struggling to sell the product you choose or provide the service you choose.

It’s best to choose a fundraiser you can use every season, such as selling custom car magnets. When you choose the right fundraiser for your youth sports league, you will be able to easily get people involved and raise plenty of money to support the league.

With these three top tips and the right fundraiser for your youth sports league, you’ll be ready to support your league. Get some area businesses involved and make sure you choose the right fundraiser to keep your players excited to participate in your annual fundraiser.

Why Custom Round Magnets Offer a Great Option

Why Custom Round Car Magnets Offer a Great Option

We offer custom car magnets in oval, round, and custom shapes. While our custom-shaped magnets tend to stand out the most because you can create a shape, such as a football helmet or a puzzle piece, our custom round car magnets are also a great option.

The shape of a circle can fit many different things, such as:

A baseball
A volleyball
A soccer ball
Several logos
And More!

Anything round can easily fit with these magnets, but you can also use them for just about any logo and information you want to include. Plus, they are easy to place on a vehicle and they can be designed to be very attractive.

If you’re considering using custom car magnets for a fundraiser or to raise awareness, you may want to consider custom circle magnets. Let’s look at some of the benefits you gain from custom circle magnets.

Plenty of Imprint Space

We offer 4″ and 5″ custom circle car magnets, giving you plenty of space to include your message. Circle magnets make it easy to add artwork and taglines in the space while providing an easy way to use colors and fonts to make the magnet and the message stand out.

Incredibly Visible

With the shape of a circle, often going on a car and becoming surrounded by the color of the car, you get a highly visible magnet that will stand out on the vehicle. Custom circle magnets tend to stand out among the other things found on the vehicle.

Great Fit for Many Logos

Round magnets offer an outer ring you can use for your organization’s name. You can use the central circle area for your logo or for any other information you prefer. This type of design makes it easy to fit most logos onto a circular magnet and provides two colors for excellent contrast.

Easy to Distribute

Choosing a custom round magnet for your fundraiser is far easier to work with than some of the other fundraising options. They are easy to distribute because they are lightweight and compact. It’s also necessary to store these magnets in a fridge or in any other type of special storage.

Very Durable

With custom circle magnets, you gain a durable magnet that can be used on a vehicle or even on a fridge. This makes it a great choice for even more supporters. The magnets will last for years and provide your message for a very long time.

Fit Any Budget

We offer custom circle magnets in two sizes with prices as low as $0.95 per magnet. Depending on the quantity you choose, you can get the right number of magnets on just about any budget.

Our circle magnets offer a great option for making plenty of cash for your fundraiser. With prices lower than $1, you can sell these magnets for $10 or even $15 to raise money for your organization. That’s a large percentage of profits going into your organization.

When you’re looking for a budget-friendly option with plenty of design options, our custom circle magnets work great. These magnets make a great option as school magnets, church magnets, or any type of fundraising magnets. If you’re ready to start your fundraiser, start with a free virtual magnet design here.

Basketball Car Magnets

It’s almost November. That means it’s almost basketball season.

We make basketball magnets for college teams, high school teams, AAU teams…you name it, we’ve made them.

Our two most common basketball clients are High School Teams and AAU teams. Youth Basketball is not as fragmented as youth baseball or youth football. Both baseball and football have multiple national organization. For example, in baseball, you have Little League, Pony League, Cal Ripken League, Babe Ruth League and more.

This is the perfect opportunity for you to raise money for your team and to make them famous. Did you know that every car with your magnet will be seen by at least 100 other people every day? And that goes on forever!

Now that the NBA season has started, it’s time for you to get your basketball team’s fundraising moving down the court. Just like every other youth sport, youth basketball is an expensive endeavor. Have you priced basketball shoes?! How about a league approved basketball? Talk about expensive.

Your team or league has their own expenses, and those tend to become “shared expenses”, paid for by all the parents. It’s these expenses that are easily covered by fundraisers. And as far as fundraisers go, none are as profitable or easy to manage as a custom car magnet fundraiser.

And by “easy”, I mean EASY! You just need to make one phone call (or send one email) and our team will get busy helping your team. Within a day, our art department will come up with the initial magnet design. You might love this first design so much that we can begin production immediately. If you want to see changes made to your design, our art department will handle that too. Once you have the design you want, just let us know how many you want. In two weeks, your custom magnets will be delivered to your door. Stick on your car and then just wait for the other parents to ask for one.

It really is that easy! Let us prove it to you.

Call me at 760-743-6340 or email me at russell@arcmktg.com and let’s get this partnership started!

Basketball Car Magnets for Fundraising

It’s hard to believe, but the 2019 – 2020 NBA Rookie of the Year will be playing for a high school team this year. Before he played for his high school team, he probably played for a local rec league or in a local AAU Basketball League. Right now, he’s probably in his drive way practicing his 3 point shot on a hoop his dad installed above the garage door when he was only 5 feet tall.

Basketball is one of the quintessential North American Sports. Invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith (who just happened to be Canadian) in Springfield, MA.

Just like every other youth sport, Youth Basketball is not an inexpensive endeavor. Heck, just a pair of the coolest new shoes can set you back $200 And just like every other youth sport there are expenses that the parents need to pay for (uniforms, shoes, coaching, etc.) and there are expenses that the entire team needs to pay (Spoiler Alert… you parents are going to pay for those too!). These team expenses (such as court rental for practice and league games, travel, referees, etc.) add up and the teams usually try to offset these somewhat with fundraising.

I’m not going to sit here and make fun of all of the other lame fundraising ideas out there (just read some of our previous blog posts to see what I’m talking about), but the best fundraiser out there, IMHO, would be a fundraising car magnet customized with your team name and colors.

Think about it, this is an NBA quality magnet, and every car it’s put on will become a rolling billboard for your team. You’ll be just like every other professional team, but without the salary cap.

Here’s another huge plus for the car magnets versus the other fundraisers (I’m looking at you, car-wash) … it adds a ton of fame to the equation. 250 cars with your team’s magnet stuck on the trunk lid is going to create a lot of awareness. Every car with your magnet will be seen by at least a hundred other cars each and every day. Instant street cred. That’s an awesome responsibility, and now you’re going to need to step up your game on the court.

Want to see what your basketball magnet will look like? We’ll design your new magnet for free, with no obligation to buy anything ever! Just let us show you what our talented team of artists can do. All you need to do is answer a few simple questions about your team logo, colors, etc. and sit back while our art department throws their mad skills at your project. Magically, in about a day your design will arrive in your in-box. To get started on your free basketball magnet, just click here.
