Imprinted Seat Cushions For Stadiums are Great Fundraisers
As football season for pro, college and high school, we start to get more requests for football related promotional items. Along with the popular imprinted mini footballs, megaphones, thundersticks one item is very popular year after year: Imprinted Stadium Seat Cushions
Nobody likes sitting on freezing metal watching a football game, well…maybe some do, but I’m not one of them. Lots of people bring foam seat cushions to their local football stadiums when they go to watch a game. For those that aren’t familiar with them they are just a simple 1 foot square piece of foam encased in vinyl that people put in their seats for comfort or even dryness if it just finished raining.
While some of them have the team mascot or team name, there are tons that are given away by local businesses. Imprinted stadium seat cushions are very popular giveaways. They are usually available in the team colors and provide a very large imprint area, usually the entire square foot area. Some of them are even kept for years and continue to advertise the business that gave them away. Some become collectors items if they have the season schedule on them and maybe get autographed by the players or the team has a really good year.
Imprinted stadium seat cushions are also great for fundraisers. It’s very common for the booster club for the sports team to sell advertising on the stadium seat cushions. The one square foot area can be divided into smaller sections and the sections are then sold to the local businesses. Usually the sales of the ad space covers the cost of the imprinting and may even create a little bit of profit. The real fundraising comes in to play when the boosters sell the stadium cushions to the people coming to the stadium. It’s usually all profit. It’s a WIN-WIN-WIN situation: The business get advertising, the boosters make money, and the customers get a comfortable place to sit.

Promote Your Site Offline With Promotional Items
Promotional Items, also known as Advertising Specialties, are the giveaway items businesses use to promote their company. Although many are given away, many can also be sold at either a break even point for the business, or maybe even a profit. Look at the number of shirts the next time you go to the mall. How many Nike, Coke, Budweiser or other company names do you see people wearing? Those companies have the brand name recognition that makes people want to pay to wear a shirt with the company’s name on it.
Almost every Advertising Specialty made today has a website name imprinted on it somewhere. It has become a very cost effective way to promote your website offline. Take a look at the pens you come in contact with from now on. I’ll bet you will see a website address on most of them. Although pens are probably the most popular Promotional Item, you can imprint your website address on 1000’s of items. Anything that will be kept on or near a desk has great potential to advertise your website. The closer you can get your item to a computer the better.
The reason you want your imprinted item near a computer should be obvious, you want them thinking of your website when they are at a computer. That’s why restaurants that deliver send you refrigerator magnets in the mail. They want you to call them when you can’t find anything to make, or when you just don’t feel like making anything. Oil change companies put static cling stickers in your car to remind you of oil changes. Car dealers make sure the keys they give you come with a keychain with their name on it.
Computer monitor calendars are probably the best item to promote your business near a computer. They are very inexpensive and are kept right near the computer screen. With the new ability to start them with July, you are almost guaranteed to have your website address in front of your potential customers for almost a year. Also, since they stick to the monitor they are less likely to be borrowed and never returned like a pen.
USB memory devices, mouse pads, computer monitor clips, CD holders and other computer related items are also good choices to promote your website address. Even a simple coffee cup that is turned into a pen holder, or maybe a candy dish, will keep your website address in front of your potential customers.
