Back-to-school season is an exciting time in every community across the country. A fresh start, a clean slate, new beginnings, re-uniting with old friends, new classes and teachers, and new opportunities. The fundraisers start right away – bake sales, raffles, or local retail discount cards. Local community members are more than willing to lend their financial support, especially during the back-to-school season where school pride and spirit is at its highest.

Spirit Wear amplifies school pride

Anyone who has participated in school fundraisers understands the amount of time and how much energy it requires to organize, plan and conduct a fundraiser. Marshalling the volunteer resources to make the fundraiser a success is no small feat. The pitch is simple. Send out the volunteers to sell candy bars and keep part of the proceeds. A lot of time and effort with no benefit accrued beyond the primary goal of raising a little money. Spirit wear on the other hand is more than just a transaction. Students, families, and staff love to show off their school colors. Spirit wear creates a sense of unity and belonging. Hoodies, t-shirts, sweatpants, jackets are part of everyday life and come to life with school mascots and colors. School pride is on full display every single time spirit wear is worn, long after the fundraiser is over.

Tap into the emotional connection

Rokkitwear merchandises over 1200 apparel styles from brands such as Nike, North Face, New Era, Carhartt, BELLA+CANVAS, TravisMathew, Comfort Colors, OGIO and Champion, all available through its custom spirit wear shop. With so many brands and styles to choose from, supporters can customize and personalize a brand or style with a school team, club or athletic sportswear design that most aligns with their personal style.

Turn Supporters into Promoters

Successful campaigns must extend out into the community at large to maximize the fundraising opportunity. It is critical to reach everyone in a community including people without kids in school and local business owners for their support. These folks in a community are usually more than willing to make small financial contributions to fundraising campaigns because they are invested in the success of the school community where they live and work. Custom School Spirit Wear, Gear and Apparel is the real opportunity to turn these financial supporters into promoters. They get to choose their apparel style and customize with the design of their choice. Now we have each financial contribution turned into long term promotion of school and community pride.

Focus 100% of efforts on promotional awareness campaigns

Signing up and activating an online spirit wear store is simple and easy. Once the sign-up process is complete and your custom online apparel store is activated you can now focus your efforts on promotion. It is important to create buzz right away. Promote the launch of your school fundraiser and your custom spirit wear store on social media, emails, and school announcements. Marketing the availability of the “always-on” spirit shop is one of the most important tasks to undertake. Linking your online spirit shop on the school website, athletic site, booster site, and the District website will increase your reach. Your new Rokkitwear custom school sportswear store also comes with a downloadable QR code directly from your home page to allow you to quickly share the store URL anytime you post on social media or communicate with the school community.

Why Custom Spirit Wear Outperforms Traditional Fundraisers

Traditional fundraising methods like selling cookie dough, discount cards, or wrapping paper often lead to short term participation with limited long term value. Once the product is used or consumed, the fundraiser fades from memory.

Custom spirit wear, on the other hand, leaves a lasting impression. Every hoodie, t shirt, or cap worn in the community becomes a reminder of school pride and an ongoing promotion of your fundraising campaign. Unlike one time transactions, spirit wear turns supporters into visible ambassadors for your school or organization.

Plus, with no inventory to manage or money to collect upfront, spirit wear eliminates the common headaches associated with traditional fundraising.

Looking for effective fundraising ideas with long term impact? Spirit wear delivers both community pride and lasting returns.
