Easy, Affordable Merch Ideas for New Family Events
Whether you’re kicking off the school year, celebrating an important moment, or welcoming newly-admitted families, school merch is always a good idea. It bolsters school pride and makes people happy. And finally, if you choose your product wisely, it becomes a marketing tool to prospective parents.
Here are some options that can be purchased for $15 or less a pop (though you can obviously spend more and go up in quality). They’re also one-size-fits all and built to the travel (unlike a fridge magnet, for example) so your school’s name is naturally circulating, hopefully in playgrounds, after-school activity spaces, and places where your current parents are likely to meet prospective families and strike up a conversation.
Consider these six options for giveaways. Sites like VistaPrint, CustomInk, Swag.com, and Zazzle provide tons of customizable options.
Pouches, sling bags, backpacks, drawstring backpacks for kids (Zazzle let’s you use your own fabric—which could be soo cute)
Hats (Beanies, baseball caps)
Car decals
