Car Magnets Fundraiser
The car magnets fundraiser is a fantastic fundraising idea for any cause... It is one of the few fundraisers that will actually raise funds and awareness!
Here's how it works...
You will design car magnets with your cause and logo as the basis, and then you will sell them to your supporters (The fundraising part).
Your supporters will then put the car magnets on their cars and suddenly you have your logo and cause being advertised all over the place (The awareness part).
Pretty simple hey... But of course, for your car magnets fundraiser to be rewarding and profitable, there is a bit of a process to follow...
(For those of you who don’t know exactly what a car magnet is... it's a magnet that looks like a sticker or label that is stuck (magnetised) onto a vehicle door, bonnet or any metallic part of the car. You would have seen many cars advertising stuff on the sides of their doors etc... Those are car magnets.)
Find a Company:
Firstly you will need to find a company that will print your car magnets for you.
You should be able to find a local company that makes car magnets or you could use a reliable online company like
Vistaprint
. Vistaprint is a quality printing company that will print you all types of items from car magnets to calendars and then ship them to you.
Another online company you can use is Cafepress
They will allow you to set up an online store that can print and sell items one at a time (no bulk ordering!). They're a great company to fundraise with and you should read the Cafepress fundraising page to find out more.
Obviously I would suggest that you shop around a bit to find the best deal. The better the deal you can get the more profit you will make!!!

Design Popular Magnets:
This is your most important step! The magnets you design must be popular and interesting to your supporters.
They don't have to be extravagant... A simple "I support Westmore high school" might be perfect... But your supporters must want to put them on their cars!
Try coming up with something exciting, clever and cool for your magnets. All of them should have your logo on but they can still be off topic... like a clever saying or phrase. Be creative about it!
(Consider using a contact address on the magnets too, like your website address or a phone number.)
Advertise your Car Magnets Fundraiser:
You have to advertise your car magnets fundraiser thoroughly!
Make sure that every single one of your supporters knows about your magnets... And do it in a way that excites them and makes them really want to buy one!
Also get them to encourage their friends and family to buy magnets for their own cars!
So essentially, spread the word... Look for other non-supporters who might be interested in your magnets, especially if your magnets have general themes like clever phrases etc.
Here are some ways to advertise...
- Obviously by word of mouth.
- On your website and through your newsletters. (A MUST DO!)
- With fliers and posters.
- And through local newsgroups and classified ads. (Always try get the ads for free)
Wrapping Up:
To run a profitable car magnet fundraiser you will need to design popular magnets that will interest your supporters...
Magnets that they will really want! Then you will need to advertise them properly so that everyone knows about them!
A Car Magnets Fundraiser can raise you some great funds... but the awareness it will raise is priceless!
