Everyone has a drawer full of t-shirts, but they still can’t resist collecting more. You can use this to your advantage in your next fundraising drive.
Create a custom t-shirt that promotes your cause. However, instead of just putting your organization name and logo on the shirt, consider having a stylish design created that can be put on the shirts instead. Check out this link of a group that uses the money they make from t-shirt sales to help fund adoptions- http://elliedub.com/. Their t-shirts are stylish and attractive to a wide range of people. This opens up their market to more than just folks wanting to help support their cause. If you come up with a popular design, consider selling it on the web for even more exposure and fundraising ability.
