Car Magnet Fundraiser vs. Candy Fundraiser

Car magnets and candy can both be sold as a way to raise money. When looking at the right fundraiser for your specific needs, comparing a few options is always a good idea.

While most people are more familiar with a candy fundraiser, don’t discount using custom car magnets for your fundraiser. Everybody has seen the groups selling candy and there’s really nothing unique about selling a chocolate bar to raise money.

However, when you choose a magnet fundraiser, you have a unique edge for your specific group. Whether you’re raising money for a school, sports program, church youth group, or any other cause, comparing a custom car magnet fundraiser to a candy fundraiser is a great place to start.

Why Custom Car Magnet Fundraiser Work

Deciding to use car magnets for your fundraiser means you’ll gain many benefits. They are very inexpensive and have a high-profit margin for fundraising groups.

Compared to a candy fundraiser, you don’t have to keep car magnets refrigerated or worry about the magnets going bad. They can be stored pretty much anywhere and nobody has ever heard of a custom car magnet attracting bugs or other pets.

The main reason you may decide a magnet fundraiser makes more sense is the profit margin. In most circumstances, you’d have to sell 5 or more candy bars to make the same profit as selling just one custom car magnet.

Another good reason to choose a custom car magnet fundraiser is the ability to raise awareness. Candy doesn’t really raise awareness for very long. People buy it, consume it, and move on.

Custom car magnets, on the other hand, get displayed on a vehicle and stay there for a much longer time. You can have the magnet designed with your brand or even with a specific cause to help spread awareness.

What Does a Candy Fundraiser Offer?

While custom car magnet fundraisers offer plenty of benefits compared to a candy fundraiser, there are some benefits to selling candy. Most people enjoy eating candy, so it’s pretty easy to sell, but it’s also not healthy. Any health-conscious people probably won’t buy candy from you, no matter the reason.

Candy is pretty inexpensive, too, which makes it easier to get people to buy. However, the lower price point also means you have to sell quite a bit more to make the money you need.

Of course, a candy fundraiser can be very helpful in specific circumstances. If you were selling candy at a sporting event to raise funds, it makes quite a bit of sense. However, it shouldn’t be considered as the only fundraising option or the main fundraiser for your group.

When comparing a custom car magnet fundraiser to a candy fundraiser, it’s easy to see which one offers more benefits. Selling custom car magnets offers a higher profit margin and provides a way to spread more awareness. Plus, you won’t have to worry about storage issues with custom car magnets.

Choose the Right Car Magnet Font

Choosing Fonts for Car Magnets

4 Quick Tips to Choose the Right Car Magnet Font

Custom car magnets are great for many purposes. The right font can transform your design into something truly special.

Whether you’re using a car magnet for fundraising or advertising, the right font makes a difference. As you choose the design for your magnet, you’ll want to use these four tips to help with choosing the right magnet font.

Top Tips for Choosing Your Car Magnet Font

1. Make Sure it’s Clear

The right car magnet font isn’t the fanciest or the most unique. Usually, the right font will provide a nice look and will be easy to read.

If those looking at your magnet struggle to read it, they won’t get the message. Make sure to choose a font that’s bold, simple, and easy to read from a distance.

2. Choose a Good Border

According to IdentityPR.com, adding a border to a sign increases the reading speed by up to 25%. This is the same with car magnets, as they are basically a sign on the side or back of your car.

Since your audience will be automobile traffic, increasing the ability for those seeing your car magnet to read it faster is a good idea. A good border will help the viewer focus their attention on the most important text.

Automobile traffic is moving fast and they need to get your message in a blink of an eye. If your car magnet font doesn’t stand out, they won’t get the message you’re trying to get across.

3. Size Does Matter

It’s a pretty simple strategy for choosing your font; larger is easier to read. According to an article on Entrepreneur.com, each inch of letter height will be best read at about 10 feet.

This means, if your letter-size for your car magnet is three inches, it will have the most impact at about 30 feet for the viewer.

4. Correct Font Color

The right color for your car magnet font will have a huge impact. You want to choose colors to create a high contrast design. Of course, your logo and brand colors makes quite a bit of sense, but make sure the actual text is bright and bold.

When you choose a different color for the most important part of your message, such as your website address or phone number, you can increase reader retention. Consider the colors you plan to use when choosing the right car magnet font for your advertising or fundraising magnet.

Car magnets can be used for several different purposes. For some, they make the perfect advertising tool at an affordable price. Others will find running a car magnet fundraiser provides an easy way to raise funds and awareness at the same time.

No matter your reason for buying car magnets, the design makes a difference. Use these four car magnet font tips, along with the expert designers at ARC Marketing to ensure your magnet is easy to read and really stands out.

Design a Powerful, Effective car magnet.

Powerful Car Magnet Designs

Free Car Magnet Designs

Designing a powerful, effective car magnet is not difficult, but not everyone can do it! Let the experts at ARC Marketing help.

Which do you think would make a more effective car magnet…

  1. A simple centered logo, with one or two colors, with just a few words above and below the logo.
  2. A simple centered logo and lots of words to get your message out there
  3. Intricate detailed logo, with lots of colors, and lots of words to get your message out there

Actually, the answer is #1 (most of the time!). Although all of these magnets would cost the same (we do not charge more for extra colors, nor do we charge for the time our artists spend working on your design) so if intricate and detailed is what you want… go for it.

If you think about the nature of a car magnet, then a simple design might be the most effective. Remember that most people are going to see your magnet on a moving car. That moving car could be going 65 mph. if your car is standing still, your magnet is still going to be viewed from several car lengths away. When you take this into consideration, then #1 looks like the winner.

Sometimes, your school name just cannot be abbreviated and the message you want to convey cannot be shortened (the more words you use, the smaller the letters will be). Sometimes the logo you have to work with is just a very detailed piece of artwork. Sometimes your mission statement is so critical to your magnet that it needs to be included, no matter what. Well, in that situation, we encourage you to go for it. Even these detailed, wordy magnets get read. They just need to be on a parked car. If that car is in a parking lot at the mall, or at a football game, hundreds of people will be walking past it and noticing it. OK, so now #2 or #3 is looking like the winner.

How do you know which way to go? Of course we have an answer for that too. As mentioned earlier, we do not charge you anything for the time our artist spends working on your design. So why not request two designs? Get a simple one, and get a complex one… then compare them and choose the stronger of the two. Getting started on the design is easy; just fill out our “Virtual Magnet” request form twice (one for each design). You can find that on our website by clicking this link: Free Virtual Magnet.

Professional Car Magnet Designs

You cannot over-emphasize the importance of using a professional artist to design your fundraising car magnet. If you search Google, using the terms “Fundraising Car Magnets”, you’ll find our company, along with hundreds of our competitors. Obviously, you are looking for a competent partner as you go into this fundraiser. Can you judge a company’s professionalism by just going through their website? The answer is “YES”!

First, take a look at the quality and professionalism of each company’s website, and compare it to our website. This is our first opportunity to reach out to you and we want to give you a feeling of confidence. Our website is beautifully designed and built by one of our subsidiary companies, ARC Web Solutions. Look at some of the websites of our competition. The car magnet industry seems to be the industry that the internet revolution forgot. Most of these websites were designed 10 or more years ago, and never updated. That lack of attention should be your first warning sign… a company that can’t (or won’t) keep their website modern probably is not the company you want making car magnets for your important fundraiser.

Second, take a look at the magnet designs shown on each website. This is where each company tries to convince you that their design-team will be able to create a magnet that you will be proud of. Scroll through our design gallery by clicking here. Our magnets have an artistic balance that most other car magnet companies just cannot grasp. There is a balance between the text and the graphics. The type is bold and clear, the logos are centered and prominently displayed. The border colors tie in perfectly with the logo colors. The entire magnet works as a complete package, as opposed to just a haphazard collection of various design elements. Most of our competitors galleries (if they even show one on their website) show magnets that looked like they were designed by first graders!

Here’s the best news… all artwork is free at ARC Marketing! Let us show you what we can do for your next fundraiser. To get started on your free car magnet design, just click here.

Car Magnets Go Viral!

Increase Awareness with a Custom Car Magnet

Car Magnets Go Viral… Most people associate the word “viral” with digital devices (cell phones, iPads, computers, etc.) because of their ability to take information and allow an unlimited number of people to eventually see it. Car magnets do the same thing, though on a slightly smaller scale! Imagine that you have a talented ARC Marketing designer create your custom vehicle magnets, and suppose you order 500 of them. Eventually, you sell them all, so now there are 500 cars showing off your fundraising vehicle magnets. How many other cars do you think will see each of those magnets every day, if the car was driving around town? 25? 50? 100? Maybe more. Let’s say 100, just to keep the math simple. 500 cars multiplied by 100 unique views equals… 50,000 views a day. And that’s everyday; 24/7. It never quits, it always broadcasts your school name, team name, etc. The only way it won’t broadcast your message is if that car is in the garage.

Go Viral. Let us design your new custom fundraising car magnet today.

How to design an effective fundraising car magnet.

Fundraising car magnets are a great way to raise money for your cause, school, or team. Not only do they help generate income, but they also help spread awareness about your organization. To design an effective school car magnet, it’s important to keep it simple and readable. People will be reading your magnet from a distance, sometimes while driving, so having large, easy-to-read letters is crucial. Here are some tips for designing an effective fundraising car magnet:

  1. Keep it simple: Use just 2 or 3 words, such as your school or team name, in large letters at the top of the magnet.
  2. Use a logo or mascot: Place your organization’s logo or mascot in the center of the magnet. This helps to make it easily recognizable.
  3. Place additional information at the bottom: If you need to include additional information, such as a tagline or contact information, place it at the bottom of the magnet in a smaller font.
  4. Experiment with different designs: Our artists don’t charge for the time they spend on your design, so feel free to experiment with different designs. You can try two different designs to see which one works best for your organization.
  5. Get creative: We don’t charge extra for extra colors or custom shapes, so get creative with your design. Use bright colors and eye-catching designs to make your magnet stand out.
  6. Make it durable: We use the highest-quality materials and printing methods to ensure your magnet lasts for a long time. This will help you get the most value out of your investment.
  7. Use a call to action: Encourage people to support your cause by including a call to action on your magnet. This can be as simple as “Support our cause” or “Donate today.”
  8. Make it visible: Place your magnet in a visible location on your car, such as the back of your car. This will help to increase its visibility and make it more noticeable to others.
  9. Partner with local businesses: Partner with local businesses to help spread awareness about your cause. They may be willing to donate funds or help promote your magnet.
  10. Offer incentives: Offer incentives, such as discounts or special offers, to people who purchase your magnet. This will help to increase sales and generate more funds for your organization.

In conclusion, designing an effective fundraising car magnet requires a combination of creativity, simplicity, and readability. By following these tips, you can create a magnet that helps raise money for your cause while also spreading awareness about your organization.
