Creative & Cheap Fundraising Ideas with Magnets

There are plenty of creative and cheap fundraising ideas with magnets that are a great way to raise money for your local club or organization while also getting your local message out there. While using magnets to fundraise isn't new, we'd like to share some creative ways that you can use them to raise money for your local club or organization.

Use magnets as an inexpensive giveaway. Giveaways work well because everyone loves free stuff, especially if it's something they can use (such as magnets). First, create a design on the magnet that relates to your local club or organization, then have the magnets made by a reputable business, such as Magnets.com. You could then give them away by:

• Offering them as a prize in a silent auction
• Handing them out at the local flea market
• Including them in goodie bags for local events

Here are a few more cheap fundraising ideas to consider:

• If you're looking to recruit new volunteers, consider printing your contact information on magnets. While many people will throw cards or postcards away, they will be hesitant to throw away magnets that they could use on their fridges.
• Offer free magnets in exchange for donations. Doing this is an easy way to raise money without too many upfront costs. This works great if your organization is looking for specific equipment or gear.
• Put up a donation jar outside a grocery store or restaurant and offer patrons a free magnet in exchange for donating to your cause.
• Buy small magnets with inspirational phrases on them (like "I'm thankful") and hand them out during the Thanksgiving season or Christmas time when people are walking down the street shopping.
• Give away magnets with coupons attached so that they can come back again later and receive something from your group.

Remember, the more creative you are in your advertising ideas, the better results your magnets will have.

Have you ever considered using magnets as local advertising for your business? Magnets are a great way to promote your product or service as they can stick onto any metal surface. They are cost-effective, and with the help of some creative advertising ideas, you could create an eye-catching magnet for your company that would last for years.

There are many ways that you can use magnets as part of your local advertising campaign:

• Use magnets to promote your business on the side of a car.
• Put magnets in public places like bus stops, post offices and coffee shops.
• Place magnetic stickers on products you want to sell—they're more likely to get attention from potential customers.
• Create custom magnet boards with pictures of your product or service and put them in high-traffic areas where people are waiting for something. You might consider partnering with related businesses in your area where you can place them.
• Make refrigerator magnets with contact information so people can easily reach you if they need your services. You could either use direct mail magnets in a campaign, sending them to potential customers, or hand them out in front of your brick-and-mortar business. Refrigerator advertising is highly effective.
