Fundraising

"Thank you! We appreciate your support!" Every donor and volunteer appreciates hearing this. They want to know your story and to share in your successes. You can communicate with them in standard ways or you can rally their enthusiasm with a unique, memorable and fun medium.

The simple premise of BookWear® is that people remember surprises. Your story is on the "book" cover along with photographs and graphics. Inside is a unique gift printed with your logo. We've wrapped your message around a surprise gift. Every time it's used they're reminded of the message and they're advertising for you. Even better, they start identifying with you and telling your story.

Below is a sample "book" and shirt for University of Maryland Libraries. It was a "Thank You" to contributors of a capital campaign. This is a sample of a "back-end fundraiser" (thanking people for their support.)

BookWear® is also used for "front-end fundraisers" where it is a solicitation for donations and participation. For example, for eight years in a row we've printed beautiful wildlife art for Conservation Resource Alliance, a new design every year. We insert their donor envelope into each BookWear® prior to packaging (inserting printed materials is free when you supply them ready-to-go.) They do a mailing to members and potential members. The recipient gets the story, a beautiful shirt and an easy way to donate. BookWear® is a novel way to make a lasting impression.
