How Custom Enamel Pins Can Help You Fundraise this GivingTuesday

Over the last few decades, the commercial shopping frenzies of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday have become as much of a tradition for Thanksgiving as turkey and pumpkin pie. Thankfully, 2012 saw the #GivingTuesday movement initiated to counter the consumerism and be a reminder of gratitude and philanthropy during the holidays. It’s now celebrated in over 70 countries around the world! Many businesses also take advantage of the day to make sure their annual giving goals are met, and often host nonprofit fundraisers or giving contests among their staff and customers to make the biggest and best contributions possible. Custom lapel pins are surprisingly effective motivators—how can Galaxy Design Squad help launch your charitable giving out of this world?

Reward for a Donation Well Done

One of the simplest options for encouraging donations from retail customers and clients is to offer your own token of appreciation to anyone that makes a GivingTuesday contribution to the fund or charity that your organization support. Small lapel pins are easy to customize to represent your company, the holiday, or the special initiative, and can be conveniently provided at the time of sale. These collectibles bonus buys can be kept or given away as gifts, making them even more enticing to donors.

Level Up the Love

Adding donation tiers to your giving options can also be a method to encourage more generous gifts. Custom lapel pins are easy to modify, and Galaxy Design Squad can change sizes, colors, styles, and specific details to encourage donors to level up for more exclusive or limited-edition collectible designs.

Team Charity Challenge Accepted

One great way to boost both your GivingTuesday contribution capacity and camaraderie within your workforce is to host team fundraisers among your staff. Custom lapel pins can be designed to reward the most enthusiastic or creative nonprofit fundraising efforts, and encourage team building and problem solving, all while being a point of pride for winners of the annual initiative.

Put the Fun in Fundraising

Nothing says Happy Holidays like a festive fete and boosting a gala with gratitude can make your GivingTuesday Party THE seasonal fundraising event not to miss. Much like pay-per-plate or pay-per-table initiatives, custom lapel pins can be sent to donors in advance of the event, with tier-specific designs that provide admission access based on donation levels. Bronze-level donors may have access to free parking and early admission, while Silver-level donors receive valet parking and coat checking. Gold-level lapel pins might represent top-tier donations to the designated nonprofit organization, and include options like table service, or special access to premier presenters and networking opportunities.
