Organizations, schools, and nonprofits frequently require funding. There are multiple ways they can get the funds, including bake sales and sponsorships. However, many modern donors want something you need. They are tired of buying pies, cookies, and other items they don’t really want or need, such as gift wrap. Why not offer them the opportunity to make a lasting mark on the community?
Many organizations are turning to laser engraving bricks. In addition to allowing the donor to make a lasting mark on the community, these bricks emotionally resonate with those who purchase them. They have an item they can see and feel, as well as one that will have long-term visibility.
The Personal Connection
The personal connection is one reason many people prefer laser-engraved bricks over other fundraising items. The donor can customize the brick with a name, message, or quote that will last long after they are gone. They develop a sense of ownership when it comes to this brick, and they take pride in their contribution to a larger cause.
Organizations find that laser-engraved brick fundraisers have high participation rates. Donors know that the contribution will be visibly acknowledged. They don’t feel like they’re investing their money in something that will be gone in a matter of minutes. These bricks are part of a larger community-building effort, and they are happy to participate.
Durability
Pies, cakes, and cookies are eaten, so there was no reminder of the donor’s contribution. A brick lasts for decades, if not centuries. They can withstand extreme weather, foot traffic, and the test of time. As the bricks are laser-engraved, the inscriptions will remain clear and legible, even after being exposed to the elements for decades. The organization that sponsored the fundraiser also benefits because the bricks are out in the public. This sustained visibility ensures more people learn about the organization and what it is working for. In fact, a person might see these bricks and contact the organization because they would like one of their own. Fundraising efforts may continue long after the initial campaign ends.
Visual Appeal
Laser-engraved bricks have a timeless appeal. They will never go out of style, and the organization can determine which elements are used within each brick. For example, that may control the font, the logo, or other features. This adaptability allows the bricks to be tailored to add to the visual appeal of the area where they will be placed. The professional look of these bricks contributes to the value of the fundraising campaign. Donors love the finished products and often choose to purchase more than one brick when they see how elegant they are.
Cost-Effective
Organizations find they can easily raise money when they choose a laser-engraved brick campaign. Bricks are cost-effective, and the organization can scale the fundraiser depending on the number of people participating. An organization might start with a campaign aimed at establishing a small walkway or other outdoor feature. Once the campaign begins, they may find they can expand and create an entire courtyard because so many people are interested in taking part. The scalability and cost-effectiveness of this type of campaign are one reason many organizations are choosing this route.
Any organization looking to raise funds should consider laser-engraved bricks. This option allows each donor to personalize their message and know that it will last for years to come. The versatility of the bricks makes them a popular choice for all. Every donation becomes a lasting legacy that helps build the community
