How To Design Effective Charity Merchandise

Charity merchandise has always been a great way to raise money for charity and raise awareness for causes you care about. Designing your own fundraising merchandise means you can have a product perfect for promotional events,  giveaways or fundraising for charity. Creating an effective item for fundraising is an easy process with Badges Plus as we have been helping charities create low-cost products for over four decades. 

We have worked closely with many local and national charities and we’ve gained years of experience designing charity merchandise. When it comes to designing charity promotional products, there are a few things to consider for a successful charity campaign. We’ve compiled 5 tips to help you design a winning piece of charity merchandise.

Choose The Right Charity Product

Small items that can be carried around or worn discreetly are great choices for charity products since they’ll be suitable for a wide audience. Products like enamel badges, custom keyrings and bespoke wristbands make ideal items for fundraising. Think about the type of products that will appeal to supporters of your charity. Will supporters of your charity prefer to wear a charity pin badge or carry a charity keyring? Choosing the right products can help you have a successful charity campaign. At Badges Plus, we also design and manufacture charity enamel badges, charity wristbands and charity lanyards to help you raise awareness for your charity.

Some of Our Favourite Non Profit Promotional Items Include:

• Charity wristbands
• Badges for fundraising and awareness
• Promotional keyrings
• Charity medals and coins

Go With A Simple Design For Your Charity Product

Sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to designing charity merchandise. Since you’ll be creating a product for reproduction, your design should be simple so that it can be easily reproduced. A complex design may not translate well on small products like charity pin badges or charity wristbands so simplicity is key. A simple design will also make your product memorable and easy to recognise. At Badges Plus, we have in-house designers who can help you to create a simple yet effective design for your charity merchandise.
 

Include The Colours Of Your Charity Brand

When designing your fundraising merchandise, be sure to include the right charity colours that are associated with your charity brand. Using your charity’s colours will help to establish brand recognition which is great for promoting your charity. At Badges Plus our charity products can be created in an almost endless range of colours so you’re sure to create charity merch that is easily recognisable and will help raise awareness for your cause.

Be Sure To Use Your Charity Logo

Using your charity logo in your charity merchandise design not only makes your fundraising products stand out, but it’s also a great way to create a custom non-profit product. You can create a unique charity badge in the shape of your logo, or charity keyrings branded with your charity emblem. Incorporating your logo in your design will also make your fundraising product look more professional which will help to enhance your fundraising efforts.

Keep The Cost Of Your Charity Merch Low

The goal of your charity merchandise is to raise funds for your non-profit organisation or charity, so be sure to keep costs in mind. Choosing the right product can help to keep your production costs low and custom charity badges are a perfect example of inexpensive fundraising products. As charity merch manufacturers, we understand that when it comes to creating charity merchandise, budgets are important. This is why Badges Plus offer a charity badge service with special rates for charitable organisations. With discounted production costs, you can focus on maximising your fundraising efforts.
