News Why Charities should use Wristbands to Fundraise

August 23rd, 2016

Charity wristbands first became popular in 2004 with the introduction of the LIVESTRONG® bracelet. This bright yellow charity bracelet took America and the rest of the world by storm and remains one of the most cost-effective ways to fundraise.

There are many reasons why they have remained so popular for fundraising or raising awareness of a particular cause or need, including :

·         They are lightweight and comfortable to wear

·         Because of their flexibility in design they are also fashionable and highly trendy

·         A wide range of colours to fit in with the colours of your cause or brand

Typically, it’s silicone wristbands that are used for charity wristbands. Another reason they’re so popular is because silicone wristbands are fully customisable and can have unique features such as embossed, debossed or laser engraving. This, together with the wide range of colours, means you can have a totally unique wristband which will give you maximum exposure.

Charities have a had proven success with silicone wristbands when it comes to raising money or awareness for any charity or cause. Here’s what just one of the charities we supply wristbands for has to say –

 “We have worked with The Wristband Company for just over a year now, and within this time they have supplied us with multiple orders for 4 designs of festival wristbands. The Wristband Company are very efficient and helpful, they have supplied us with clear design guidelines and proofs to sign off prior to production. The stock is always delivered on time and as we have ordered – we really like working with Barry and his team.” – Macmillan Cancer Support
