Selling personalized key chains is one way to earn money for your favorite organization.
Fund-raising efforts can be spiced up by offering key chains for sale. Key chains are usually inexpensive, and are beneficial to most people. Make your own key chains or order them from manufacturers. Have them customized to reflect the organization you’re raising money for. For example, if the money is going to animal shelters, consider animal-themed key chains.
Themes
Key chains come in different colors, sizes and shapes, and you can personalize them to cater to your audience. For example, sell carabiners-key chains with a spring-hinged side that can hook on to belt loops-at universities or at outdoor events. Choose a dog paw-shaped key chain for a fund-raising event for dogs or animal welfare. For a running event, sell foot-shaped key chains at the start or finish line for viewers and runners alike. Some manufacturers offer key chains at discounted prices when they are ordered in bulk.
Names
Attract buyers with personalized key chains; one idea is to offer name plates on carved wood. Some manufacturers offer affordable services for carving and personalizing each key chain. If you're raising funds at an event, ask the manufacturers to set up a booth at the venue so that they can create key chains on the spot. On the other hand, you may also collect the names and payments of those who wish to get a key chain, and submit them to the manufacturer.
Include a detachable card or a label along with the finished product, containing information about the fund-raising project. This creates awareness among the buyers and reinforces your purpose of selling. Do not forget to include a thank-you in the information card.
Homemade
Homemade key chains are ideal for school, church or any other closely-knit group. Beaded key chains, lanyards, or clay works attached to metal rings can sell for a dollar or two. Purchase the raw materials at a craft store and gather a group to make the key chains. This can be a bonding project as well as a fundraiser.
To help in making key chains fun for school children, integrate the project into a relay game. Each time they complete a layer, they can pass their key chain on to the next child. After the game, kids may have different lengths and color combinations which they can buy for themselves.
