At a time when school budgets are being slashed – raising money requires more and more creativity. Why not offer students fun and edgy school spirit wear that also puts a little dough in the schools pocketbook?
School spirit wear has been stuck in the boring category. Standard block fonts & basic layouts don’t spark an interest in the students or parents. It is time to get these kids to show some pride in their school & offer spirit wear that they will want to wear off campus. Edgy designs that reflect modern trends are within the scope of school projects. Think styles that are at Tilly’s & Pacific Sunwear – places the kids love to shop. Cool colored T-shirts with warped text and grunge/swirl vector art. We just need to think outside the “school designs” box and keep things interesting!
Once your school has fun designs that get the kids and parents excited you can start the fund raising extravaganzas. Local screen printing shops will often give a decent percentage discount if you can incorporate their logo on the shirt. The best location to offer the printers is inside the shirt where the size tag would go – it is classy and inconspicuous. Also, most screen printing shops have extended payment plans, like 30 to 90 days, so that schools can sell the product and then pay – making it easy and manageable.
Now that you’ve received the shirts at a very reasonable price; the school can mark up the price and raise funds on campus. With edgy action sports style shirts the kids & parents will surely want to snatch them up.
The author Tori Raymer is part of a Temecula Screen Printing shop in California that offers school spirit wear with creative designs and discounts so the schools can use the products for fundraisers.
