Cheap Water Bottles for Fundraisers: Think Beyond Your Budget

Bulletin Bottle Products, Promotion Ideas, ,

Water Bottle FundraisersMany of our nonprofit clients that hold water bottle fundraisers think they want to buy cheap water bottles to resell. After all, getting the most bottles you can for the money makes sense, right? At first glance, it might seem that way. However, this is not usually the way to maximize a return on your investment.

We understand that there is a lot of competition between equally worthy organizations for fundraising dollars. While not all nonprofit demographics will support a $20 per-bottle fundraiser, finding a “sweet spot” between initial cost and return will yield a much more successful fundraiser than you think.

Don’t believe us? Consider these three examples:  Continue reading →

Promotion Ideas, ,

Many people think of sports when they consider team water bottles. Make no mistake, these bottles are for so much more than just sports teams.

Team is defined, in part, as “a number of persons associated in some joint action.” Chess club, environmental club, drama club, student council—these are all teams in some regard!

Last week, Team Bulletin Bag was all business (see left) as we headed to the industry’s largest trade show in Las Vegas. We were on the lookout for new bottles that our clients (you!) might like.

So what’s new and trendy in 2016? The focus is on high-quality materials, which often leads to an even higher perceived value. Matte black finishes on both stainless steel and aluminum are hot. Odorless, dishwasher-safe Tritan copolyester is more on trend than ever before, and in some cases beat out aluminum as the material of choice! We even found a glass water bottle that’s encased in plastic, which combines maximum taste purity with durable construction.

When you’re planning marketing campaigns this year that involve custom water bottles, remember that it is most likely to get used when it features:

• Current or classic lines
• High-perceived value through weight, design, and material composition
• Appealing colors

In the coming month, we’ll be evaluating our top water bottle picks from the show. We study the costs and test out each bottle ourselves. Stay tuned to find out what makes the cut and finds a place on our site!
