Why Great Merch Matters in a Fundraiser
Planning a fundraiser is no small task. Between coordinating volunteers, promoting your cause, and managing your event day, selling merch can feel like just another thing to juggle. But the right fundraiser merchandise doesn’t just raise money — it builds excitement, boosts visibility, and gives supporters something to proudly wear or use. 👍
So how do you make sure your merch doesn’t end up sitting in a box after the event?
At 24 Hour Tees®, we help nonprofits, schools, and social impact groups sell fundraiser gear that people actually want — and we make the process as easy and fast as possible.
Common Struggles with Fundraiser Merch
If you've tried selling custom merch in the past, you might’ve hit a few bumps:
- 😩 Clunky online design tools that slow you down
- Confusing order processes and missed deadlines
- Boxes of unused items — because the design didn’t connect with supporters
- Merch that arrives late, off-brand, or low quality
We get it. That’s why we’ve built a smoother way to get custom fundraiser merch that drives interest and makes your team look good doing it.
Start with Fan-Favorite Apparel
Supporters love t-shirts. But not just any t-shirts — soft, comfortable, and easy-to-wear styles that feel good the first time someone puts them on.
Our Fan-Favorite Apparel line includes the top picks for schools and nonprofits who want gear that sells fast. Choose from:
- Soft blended t-shirts made for everyday wear
- Fitted cuts and inclusive sizing options
- Affordable price points without skimping on quality
We’ve simplified the process so you can upload your logo or design directly into our easy online designer. Need help? Our team can guide you with layout and color suggestions that make your merch pop without overcomplicating things.
Accessories That Boost Donations
Want to do more than shirts? Smaller items can spark more impulse buys and help supporters walk away with something tangible — especially if they aren’t buying high-ticket items.
Our custom fabric accessories are perfect for events and giveaways:
- Koozies: Budget-friendly and fun, perfect for warm weather fundraisers or community gatherings
- Poly bag add-ons: Great for neatly packaging orders or adding to gift bundles
Accessories are lightweight, easy to hand out, and versatile for different kinds of drives — from donor thank-you gifts to concession stand sales.
Fast Turnaround That Keeps You on Track
Your event date won’t wait — and we won’t leave you hanging. We’re called 24 Hour Tees® for a reason.
Our team is built to move fast. We help you stay on schedule, whether you’re planning three months ahead or need a rush order for next week. Just let us know your timeline and we’ll walk you through what’s possible.
Custom Sorting & Packaging = Less Chaos
When orders arrive packed by size or grouped by team, your volunteers save hours on sorting. We offer folding and poly bagging add-ons to help you stay organized — because no one wants to sort through 300 loose shirts before an event. 🤹
This small step can make a big difference, especially when you’re managing volunteers or distributing items in bulk to a school, club, or church group.
Tips to Sell More Fundraiser Merch
Once your merch is ready to go, here are a few smart tips to help you sell more:
- Create urgency: “Limited edition” or “only available for this event” helps drive fast decisions
- Leverage pre-orders: This helps you keep costs down and order just what you need
- Use your community: Ask your board members or student reps to model the merch on social media
