Using Oval Magnets for Your Fundraising or Promotional Campaign

There are many shapes to consider when ordering custom car magnets for your fundraiser or promotional campaign. Oval magnets make a great option and they are an affordable choice. They tend to stand out a bit more than a circle magnet and they might fit your specific logo or design idea a bit better.

You can use the oval-shaped magnets in multiple ways and even create a story. Maybe you want to sell them as a fundraiser for a holiday or a big event. A school car magnet can be a great way for your PTA or PTO to raise money for your worthwhile causes.

If you’re considering a custom car magnet for your organization, make sure you choose the right one. Let’s look a bit closer at oval magnets and how they can be used.

Versatility in Design

You can use the oval shape as a tall magnet or a wide magnet. Many couples planning to get married will use this shape as a tall magnet to create save the date cards they can mail out. Since they can go right on the fridge, this is a great way to remind your guests of your upcoming big day.

The tall use of an oval magnet is also rather unique. It allows you a bit different look and offers a unique way to display your organization’s logo.

If you choose the wide orientation (most common) it fits well with sports team logos, church logos, and many other organization logos. You might find an oval magnet is a bit easier to read from a distance than a round-shaped magnet. It also stands out a bit more since it’s not a standard shape.

Include More Text

On a round-shaped magnet, if you try to include too much text, it gets very rounded and harder to read. However, if you want to include longer text, an oval-shaped magnet might work great. This type of magnet won’t round the text as much making it a bit easier to read for those seeing the magnet.

Oval Magnets Earn Prime Position

Whether you use oval magnets for a fundraiser or a business promotion, they tend to earn a prime position. An attractive design can land your magnets on the bumper of vehicles, on the fridge door, or on a filing cabinet. This can be a powerful way to remind people of your organization and even advertise.

Affordable

The price of an oval magnet is the same as the price of a round magnet. You don’t have to worry about paying more for this shape. If you want a quantity of 50 or a quantity of 1,000, the price is the same as ordering a round magnet.

The affordable pricing makes these custom car magnets great for a fundraiser, business promotions, and for giveaways. Whether you want to sell your magnets for a profit or give them away to spread your brand’s message, they are a budget-friendly option.

Are Bigger Car Magnets Better?

Are you creating a school car magnet to prepare for your next fundraiser? Maybe you’re creating a car magnet for your church so you can raise money and spread the word.

No matter the reason for creating a custom car magnet for your organization, you might be wondering if a bigger car magnet is a better option compared to a smaller car magnet. While this type of magnet isn’t going to cover the door of a vehicle like a large magnet advertising sign, the size you choose will make a difference.

We offer 5″ oval, 4″ round, 6″ oval, and 5″ round sizes. We can also create a custom size and shape, which can take your magnet to an entirely different level.

It might not seem like one inch makes a big difference, but it can be the difference between other vehicles being able to tell what your magnet is about or struggling to understand the message. Of course, the shape, the font, and the colors used will play a factor, too.

What do your supporters prefer?

While you could survey your supporters to find out what they prefer, most of your supporters will have no idea you could have chosen a smaller or larger size. When it comes to selling your custom car magnets, the right size is the one you choose. Your supporters will only see your magnet and won’t know what it could have been or what you didn’t choose.

With that said, a smaller magnet takes up less room on a vehicle, which can be good, but a larger magnet can be designed to look more unique and can stand out a bit more. There really isn’t a wrong decision when it comes to the size of your magnets if you’re worried about what your supporters might prefer.

Make Your Magnet Stand Out

While size does matter, it’s not a clear answer between larger or smaller. Our larger custom car magnets tend to be more popular, but it might be due to the fact that you get more room to design your magnet to fit your organization.

You can use the right font and color combination to make your magnet stand out. Our virtual design can help you choose, but we can also help if you need our design team to help you create a beautiful, eye-catching magnet.

Featuring a Magnet Sponsor

In some cases, you might have a sponsoring business that is paying for your custom car magnets. In exchange, you might need to include their logo or contact information on the magnet. With a larger magnet, you will have more room to include your sponsor’s information on the magnet.

Of course, you want to make sure your sponsor’s information is large enough that someone can see they sponsored the magnet. With another inch of magnet for your design, this is very possible and becomes easier.

While size might matter for your magnet, bigger doesn’t always mean better. Smaller magnets are less expensive, but bigger magnets allow more room for your design. The right size for your organization is the one that fits your needs correctly. If you’re not sure the right size or shape for you, our team can help. Just contact us and we will help you make the right choice.

Choose the Right Size

While a larger size might matter with an advertising magnet for your real estate business, it’s not as important when choosing a school car magnet for fundraising or another car magnet for your fundraiser. You don’t need to go huge with your magnet, but you may want to choose a slightly larger size if you’re trying to get any type of brand awareness for your organization.

Your magnet should be small enough your supporters will enjoy showing it off on their car, but large enough others can tell what it is and what organization it represents. If you’re not sure about the right size for your needs, our design team will help you.

Get Creative

Maybe you know you want a simple design to represent your organization.

However, you can get more creative and have a magnet created in the shape of a baseball bat or glove to stand out.

You can also get creative with the colors, shape, and font for your custom car magnet design. A custom shape can make your magnet more unique and the right font and colors can make it more attractive.

Choose Your Quantity

Depending on how many custom car magnets you think you can sell and how much money you need to raise, you might need more or less magnets. The larger the amount you order, the lower the cost per magnet becomes, which means larger profits for your organization.

Setting Up Your Annual Fundraising Schedule

As you plan your year’s fundraising schedule, there’s a good chance you will need to raise money in multiple ways. Depending on your organization, you might run fundraising events and sell items during the year to get the funds you need for the organization. You might also take on sponsors and donors.

Whether you’re a sports team, a private organization, or a school, raising money isn’t easy. However, it can be much easier, if you spend time setting up your annual fundraiser schedule.

Start with the Basics

Before you set up your annual fundraising schedule, start with the basics. Figure out how you plan to raise money and what you can realistically expect from each fundraiser. It’s also a good idea to know how much you need to raise to support your organization throughout the year.

Get the basics down on paper before you start worrying about putting them into an annual schedule. It’s always smart to plan to raise more money than you need, too. This way, if something doesn’t go as planned, you will still have enough money to support your organization.

Prepare Your Ask or Sales Tools

If you plan to ask donors and sponsors for help, take the time to prepare a great ask. Whether it’s a letter or a phone call, make sure you have a solid way to ask them before you proceed.

The same goes if you’re planning to sell custom car magnets or another item as a fundraiser. You want to create a sales pitch/script and other sales tools to help those participating know how to ask someone to buy the magnets or the other item.

Start Your Planning

Once you have your fundraising ideas figured out and the sales tools or letter you need to make an ask, you can start your planning. This is where things can get a little tricky.

Some fundraisers will require people in your organization to be involved. If you’re running a fundraiser for your school and you want the students to be involved, make sure they will be in session during the fundraiser.

This also goes for sports teams. If they are not currently in season, it’s probably not the best time to run a fundraiser where those on the team need to be involved.

It’s also important to schedule certain fundraisers far in advance, such as gala events, golf outings, and any type of fundraiser when you’ll need to book a space for the event. Get these on the schedule first and fill in with the other fundraiser that doesn’t require scheduling with a venue.

Choose Fundraisers You Can Repeat

It’s not uncommon to see a golf outing become the 5th Annual Golf Outing for… or even a gala event to earn this type of title. These fundraisers work great every single year and can grow from one year to another.

Custom car magnet fundraiser also offers a good option for a yearly fundraiser. Since you can get a new magnet designed every year, you can keep those willing to support your organization excited. For example, if you’re raising money for a football team, you can have a new design for the team every year. Parents and other supporters will be excited about the new design.

Use this advice to make your annual fundraising schedule easier to plan and you’ll be in better shape for the upcoming year.

How to Pair Custom Car Magnets with Fundraising Events

When you decide you want to run a fundraiser for your non-profit organization, elementary school, baseball team, or any other organization, custom car magnets make a great choice. However, if you already have a fundraiser you’re planning, you can still add these magnets to your event for even more profits.

There are several ways to pair custom car magnets with fundraising events. Let’s look at a few popular ways to increase your profits by adding custom-designed magnets to your fundraising event.

Top 3 Ways to Pair Custom Car Magnets with Fundraising Events

1. Pair them with a Car Wash

One of the easiest ways to boost your car wash revenue is by pairing a custom car magnet with the car wash. If you know you will be running a fundraising car wash or multiple car washes, order some custom car magnets to go with it.

You can give them out for a specific donation level. For example, maybe you know your average donation for a car wash last year was $10. You can try to boost your average by offering a free custom car magnet for all donations of $25 or more. This can help entice people to give more and can boost your revenue.

2. Pair them with a Sporting Event

Sporting events and custom car magnets go hand-in-hand. Maybe your fundraising event will be a local celebrity basketball game or softball game. Maybe you’re selling tickets for the event, doing a 50/50 raffle, handling the concessions, and doing other things to raise money through the event.

On top of all you’re doing, you can sell custom car magnets for the event or for your sports team or organization. You will have a captive audience and you can use that to your advantage by selling custom car magnets to those in attendance.

These magnets can also be paired as a giveaway with a 50/50 raffle for those buying a certain number of tickets. This can help to boost the raffle and make it larger while you raise more money.

3. Pair them with a Golf Outing

If you’re holding a golf outing as your fundraising event, you can pair custom car magnets with the event as a giveaway for branding or as something else to sell. You can even get a sponsor to cover the cost of the magnets for a sign on a specific tee box, green, or another type of sponsorship.

The magnets can be put in a goodie bag if they are going to be a giveaway for branding. If you plan to sell them, you can pair them with a 50/50 raffle or have a volunteer set up on a specific tee station and sell the magnets. They can even be paired with other items and sold as a package deal.

Along with these events, you can also sell custom car magnets for next year at the final awards ceremony for your sports team or your organization. They pair with many events very well and can help you raise more money while enhancing the offering of your fundraising event.

How to Sell a Product for a Fundraiser

You’re in charge of raising money for your school, the youth group at church, sports team, or any other group, but where do you start? Maybe you’ve decided to sell a product for a fundraiser, such as an awareness car magnet or a custom car magnet.

If you’re still not sure how to sell a product for a fundraiser, use the guide below.

Before the Sale

Before you start selling custom car magnets, you want to get organized. It’s important to get a team of people in your organization to help with the fundraiser. Figure out how you will order the item you plan to sell, what the budget will be, how much you will charge, and other details of your plan.

Once you have a plan in place, it’s time to actually move onto selling your product and raising money for your group.

Get Your Group Ready

Whether you’re raising money for a high school football team or for an entire middle school, you need to assemble your group and get them prepared. They should understand what you’re selling, the benefits of the product, and how to sell it, if they will be helping with the sales.

Provide samples of the product or products you will be selling and speak to the group about how the process will work. Let them know how to accept payment, how to deliver the product, and how to go about selling it. You might even want to have a simple script they can use for selling the product as a fundraiser.

Put Money Management Practices in Place

With some items, your sales team (students, parents, group members, etc.) will collect money as they take orders, and then deliver the product later. Custom car magnets don’t require this step with fundraising, but you will still want to have money management practices in place.

Set up a separate bank account for the fundraiser, if necessary, and decide how you will accept payment. Will you take cash only, credit cards, debit cards, checks, etc.?

You also want to know what to do if a check bounces or if you receive cash payments from your sales team. Make sure you have a plan for dealing with the money and where you plan to deposit it as it comes in.

Set Up Places to Sell

While you might encourage those participating to go door-to-door or speak with family and friends, there are other ways to sell custom car magnets or another product during your fundraiser. You can set up grocery and department stores that will allow you to sell outside of them and send some of your sales team to each location.

It’s also possible to take advantage online with social media. Design a post that everybody can use on Facebook, Twitter, Tic Tok, Instagram, and other social sites. Let them share it on their profile or page with their audience.

With a good social media post, you can drive product sales with the family and friends of all those involved in selling for your group.

You can learn how to sell a product for fundraising with the simple guide above. There are plenty of other things you want to figure out, but this will get you started on the right track.

Choosing a Magnet for School Car Magnet Fundraiser

When it’s time to run a school fundraiser, you need to make the right decision. Maybe you’ve already chosen a school car magnet fundraiser and you just need to pick the right magnet.

There are several good custom car magnets to choose from when you’re working on a school fundraiser with car magnets. Let’s look at a few of the top options for your school fundraising needs.

Logo Magnets

A very simple and easy option is custom logo magnets for your school. Simply choose a shape and have your school’s logo printed on the custom car magnets and sell them as a part of your fundraiser.

When you’re trying to choose a magnet for your school car magnet fundraiser, this is an easy option. For most schools, selling a logo magnet is a great idea as it allows parents to show off their pride for the school their children attend.

School Spirit Magnets

Maybe a school logo magnet isn’t your favorite choice. It’s not the only option when you want to run a school car magnet fundraiser. You can also use a school spirit magnet instead of a logo magnet.

This type of custom car magnet will usually include the mascot for your school’s sports programs and the name of the school. However, it can also be a magnet you customize for each group within your school, such as each sports team, the band, the choir, and other organizations.

No matter which way you go, a school spirit magnet is a great choice for your fundraiser. It allows those buying the magnets to show off pride in the school and it might be a cooler looking magnet, depending on your specific mascot.

Awareness Magnets

Another option, which can be very lucrative as a school car magnet fundraiser, is to use an awareness magnet. This type of magnet allows you to partner with another charity and spread awareness while raising money. You can even give a portion of the proceeds to the charity you’re spreading awareness for.

For example, you can partner with a charity trying to raise money to find a cure for breast cancer. Have the magnet designed as an awareness magnet for breast cancer and donate 10% of the total proceeds to the charity you’ve partnered with.

This is a win-win-win for everybody. You get to raise money for your school, while also raising money for an important cause, and spreading awareness for that cause. Plus, with an awareness magnet, your target audience is larger than just those connected to the children attending your school.

When you’re ready to run a school car magnet fundraiser, the hardest decision might be which magnet to choose. These are three of the best options and provide plenty of design flexibility. It really just depends on how your school prefers to raise money and what you think will be the best option for this specific fundraiser.

If you plan to sell custom car magnets at school events, such as sporting events, you might want to consider offering multiple options. This is a great way to get people to buy multiple magnets and to raise even more money for your school.
