Fundraising sounds simple until you are actually responsible for it.

To earn money fast, you need something parents will buy without thinking too hard about it. A product that does not feel like junk and does not create extra work for volunteers. Something like “custom magnets”.

Magnets outperform most school and team fundraising ideas. They are affordable, useful, easy to sell, and really effective when the customization is done right.

And when you work with a supplier like All Sport Designs, the process becomes even simpler. You can try for yourself!

Now, let’s break this down from a real-world, practical angle so you have a clear idea of how it's gonna get you funds. 

How Custom Magnets Work Well for Fundraising

Most fundraising products fail for one reason, and that's because they end up in a drawer.

However, magnets do not.

They live on refrigerators, lockers, and cabinets. They stay visible for months or even years. That visibility and utility are what turn a small purchase into long-term value.

Here is why customized magnets in bulk work exceptionally well for schools and sports teams.

They Are An Easy Purchase

A 5 or 10 dollar magnet feels like nothing. Parents do not hesitate and even buy extras. Local supporters chip in even if they do not have kids on the team.

Such a low price and useful item puts no pressure, requires no pitch, and gets you a quick yes.

They Work For Any Age Group

Elementary schools, high schools, youth leagues, travel teams, booster clubs, in fact, anyone and everyone can use magnets. They have no sizing issues, no age limitations, hence no returns.

Also, they are lightweight and simple to distribute, so no inventory nightmares as well. 

They Double As Promotion

A magnet with a team logo, school mascot, or season schedule does more than raise money once.

Magnets are flat, light, and easy to hand out at games, events, or parent meetings, so you can easily distribute them on the go, anywhere. 

They keep your team visible in homes across the community every single day.

Why Order Them In Bulk

Ordering bulk custom magnets is not just about lowering cost; it is about maximizing fundraising margin.

When you buy in bulk, your cost per unit drops sharply. That means you can keep the selling price low while still raising meaningful funds.

For example, magnets that cost a little over a dollar each in bulk can easily sell for five dollars. That margin adds up fast when you sell a few hundred units.

Bulk ordering also ensures consistency. Same colors. Same quality. Same message. That’s important for school branding and team pride.

What to Put on a Fundraising Magnet That Sells

This is where many teams miss the mark, but you won't since you’ll be well-prepared now.

A logo alone is fine, but not enough. The most successful magnets combine emotion with usefulness.

Here are formats that work exceptionally well:

Team schedule magnets: Parents love these. Game dates on the fridge mean fewer missed games and fewer questions.

They are practical and emotionally tied to the season as well.

Mascot and school pride magnets: Strong visuals sell the best. A bold mascot or clean school logo creates pride and support even from people outside the immediate team circle.

Championship or season theme magnets: They are perfect for travel teams or competitive leagues.

Add slogans like State Bound or Proud to Support Our Tigers. These feel collectible and meaningful.

Thank you supporter magnets: They are great for booster clubs and community sponsors. These magnets feel like appreciation, not selling.

Simple Step-by-Step Fundraising Plan Using Magnets 

Pick one magnet design that represents your team or season, and feel free to take design inspiration from our website catalogue. 

Then order it in bulk to keep the cost per magnet low. Set a simple price point that feels effortless to buyers.

Sell at games, school events, and through parents. Encourage supporters to buy extras for grandparents and relatives.

That is it!

No long campaigns, no online complexity, and no burnout.
