Revealed! The Promotional Essentials Every Charity Needs

If you work for a charity - whether it's a nationwide organisation or a brand new initiative based on a locally-identified cause - you'll know how important spreading your message and generating awareness for your work is.

Enter promotional merchandise: giveaway items and business essentials printed with the branding of your charity can have the power to create recognition for your logo, encourage people to donate and more. 

According to a report from the Charities Aid Foundation, more than £10 billion was donated to charities across the UK last year, with medical research topping the list for most popular cause type, closely followed by animal rescue services. 

Interestingly, the biggest fundraising event in the UK is the Cancer Research UK Race For Life, which has raised an astonishing £547 million over the last 20 years. 

What Is International Day Of Charity?

Chances are that if you're part of a charitable organisation, you'll already be aware of International Day of Charity. But just in case you haven't...

The awareness day will take place on September 5 2019. It is in its seventh year, having been instigated by the UN General Assembly in 2012. The date was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the passing of Mother Theresa, who was globally famed for her selfless acts of kindness. 

So - what is the International Day of Charity? In a nutshell, it's an opportunity to shine a light on the various incredible charities that exist within communities as well as on a national level, too. On the UN's website, the day is described as being 'established with the objective of sensitizing and mobilizing people, NGOs, and stakeholders all around the world to help others through volunteer and philanthropic activities'.

With International Day of Charity 2019 looming close, there's no time like the present to spruce up your charity's offering. 

What Are The Benefits Of Using Promotional Merchandise For A Charity?

Every little helps when it comes to helping create a positive, memorable buzz around your organisation, especially when you might be reliant on donations of time, money or expertise from the public to help fund your work.

With that in mind, promotional products that are able to remind people about your cause and what you're doing can be powerful marketing tools, allowing you to spread the word about your work, your needs and how people can help.  

• Brand awareness: Obviously the main plus-point of investing in promotional products is it generates visibility.
• Ability to generate funds: Selling items such as promotional wristbands or logo-printed T-shirts to customers can be a great way to raise money.
• Professional sheen: This can be crucial to smaller, more localised charitable causes, with branded products adding a smart and polished edge to their endeavours.

Anyway! How can your charity benefit from ordering promotional merchandise, such as branded collection boxes or logo-printed T-shirts? Read on...
