Marketing Water Bottle Fundraisers

Water bottle fundraisers present yet another simple and advantageous fundraising option.

Basics Of Running A Waterbottle Fundraiser

Water bottle fundraisers are run primarily through on-hand sales events. Your group will purchase water bottles in bulk, then increase the price and sell them to interested buyers. Water bottle sales generally do well at sporting or similar events, or as offered to and through team members. The disadvantage to on-hand water bottle sales is that your group will have to pay cash upfront to buy the bottles and if you are unable to move them your profits will be limited. Prices for waterbottles for fundraisers vary depending on the type and style of bottle purchased; prices range from $.55 to around $3.50 per unit. (*Tip: you may consider filling the bottles with ice water or offering a fill station to promote sales to thirsty patrons.)

To organize a waterbottle fundraiser, you first need to identify a water bottle supply company or fundraising company offering water bottle fund raisers. You will then work with a company representative to design your bottle logo and choose the type, color, and style of bottle. Companies will work with you to help you choose a fun and interesting message and you can submit your own organization logo to go on the bottle.

Advantages Of A Water Bottle Fundraising

Printed water bottles serve as constant marketers every time they are used and seen

Alternative Water Bottle Fundraising Options

There are other ways to fundraise with bottled water and still take advantage of these printed "in hand" marketing agents.

Instead of buying printed water bottles, you can purchase bottles of drinking water in a variety of sizes complete with custom printed labels for your group. These are available from a number of fundraising supply companies and water suppliers like Glacier Mountain.

To cut costs even further, your group can buy bottled water in bulk from a local retailer and print your own labels. Glacier Mountain and other online suppliers also offer pre-printed labels or printable labels expressly for this purpose. This option can help save on shipping.

The disadvantage to these options is that you will need a lot of space for product storage, product is heavy and unwieldy, and you lose the advantage of promoting environmental friendliness. However, selling bottles of water at a sporting or outside event can be highly successful when you have a ready stock of thirsty buyers, and you still have that ever-important marketing angle regardless of the water bottle fundraising option you choose.
