================== ARTICLE START ==================
Its has been around 2 years since the Livestrong bracelets
craze, where they have sold more than 40 million bracelets
worldwide! Imagine thats even more than 10% of the whole
population of the United States!

Not only was the Livestrong foundation successful, but also
other fundraising companies jumped into the wagon. A lot of
these are Breast Cancer foundations, which sold pink rubber
silicone bracelets, sold especially in Breast Cancer walks and
Breast Cancer events.

Another success is the "Support the Troops" wristbands, which
we see almost everywhere, and now they are in wristbands. They
are used more in Patriotic companies and non-profits used to
fundraise for their company.

Putting these major companies aside, and having in mind that
the craze although not as strong as before, it is still
effective if used properly.

Small music bands may think of creating their own silicone
wristband, with the name of their band on the bracelet along
with their logo, also the color that the band uses. They can
sell these to raise funds.

Sometimes, even small organizations, especially non-profit
ones, can also benefit from this. An organization that helps
with tutoring children that cannot afford additional tutoring
service may be able to raise funds by selling silicone
bracelets. A high-school basketball team that needs to
fundraise for their jerseys and uniform may deceide to sell
silicone bracelets with their school team, logo, and colors on
the bracelet, around the school campus, not only to fundraise,
but to promote the team as well.

The silicone wristbands can be purchased very cheap, around
$0.55 cents each for 500 pieces, or around $0.45 cents for
1,000 pieces. They can be easily sold for $2 to $3 each, or
some with a bigger cause may sell it for $5 each, depending on
where the profits will go.

Selling 500 bracelets at $3 each will yield a profit of $2.45
per bracelet or a total profit of $1,225. Its an excellent
return having in mind the quality and promotion also given.

Some people when they fundraise sell lemonade at $1 each,
hamburgers, sell pens, concert tickets, etc. The silicone
bracelets are so simple, that not much work is needed to
fundraise the wristbands. You don�t need to cook food, have or
rent a stall, or even organize an event. Its just plain simple,
and you can distribute the bracelets to other members of the
organization for them to market to their own friends and family
as well.
