Charity Merchandise Ideas

1. Badges

Badges printed or moulded with your logo have always been a popular way to create awareness for a charity or cause. Not only are they cost effective; they appeal to a wide selection of people and have a high perceived value. As a go-to fundraising merchandise product, badges come in a huge range of materials and effects – from recycled plastic, metal, wood and custom-made moulded plastic badges. Whichever style you choose, we can help you to create a charity badge that will work hard to promote your campaign and raise those essential funds for your charity.

3. Stickers

Extremely low cost, but an easy and fun way to spread your campaign message. Whether you choose to incorporate paper or vinyl stickers for supporters in their letter packs or to give out at events or for bucket donations, they are sure to grab attention. We can even brand window stickers – allowing your charity to be seen in your supporters windows, whether that be at the workplace, at home or in vehicle windows!

4. Bags

Right up there when it comes to popularity is the branded bag – they act as a walking billboard, promoting your charity wherever the wearer goes. Branded charity bags are perfect to hand out as gift bags at events or to reward new supporters. They can be used to carry important literature as well as other branded goodies in to celebrate your charity. If you choose to select a reusable bag, not only will you be associating your charity with an eco-friendly marketing message but ensure your campaign will be seen numerous times.

9. Clothing

Charity promotional t-shirts, running vests, sweatshirts and caps are a great way to showcase your charity and draw potential supporters in to a stall or stand. At sporting and large-scale events, with all your donors sporting your charity clothing, you can create a sense of unity and positivity. Promotional clothing will keep on giving too, with many supporters wearing them for many years after an event, increasing the visibility of your cause.

10. Pens

When it comes to a cost effective charity gift, pens are always a choice option. Used multiple times, by multiple users, your charity will not go unnoticed. Especially if you combine a powerful marketing message with a full colour wrap around print or something a little different. Try our phone up pens, which have four uses – stylus, pen, screen cleaner and phone stand!
