Are you looking for an interesting way to raise funds for your chosen charity or cause? If yes, then engraved bricks may be the perfect solution!
This blog will cover some of the most frequently asked questions about engraved bricks for fundraising:
What are engraved bricks?
As the name suggests, engraved bricks are bricks that have been engraved with a message, logo, or other design. They are often used as part of a fundraising campaign, where people can purchase an engraved brick to support the cause.
How do engraved bricks fundraisers work?
Many fundraisers sell engraved bricks are by piece. For example, the Meals On Wheels of Tarrant County price each brick around $100 to $500, depending on the size. Other fundraisers, on the other hand, choose to auction off the bricks. The funds raised from selling the bricks then go to the chosen charity or cause.
The bricks can be used to build structures like a wall or walkway, just like the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum Commemorative Brick Walkway. You may also opt to display the engraved bricks in a garden or public park.
How much do engraved bricks cost?
The purchase cost of engraved bricks typically ranges between $25 and $50, depending on the brick size and design complexity. As you can see, there’s a huge profit margin per brick, allowing you to raise funds quickly.
Why choose an engraved bricks fundraiser?
Aside from the high-profit margins, engraved bricks are a brilliant choice for fundraising because they offer a unique way to show support for a cause. They also make great keepsakes and can be used to build structures that will last for years. This means donors can use the fundraiser to leave a legacy or create a lasting commemorative for a deceased loved one.
What sizes of bricks are available?
The sizes vary per supplier, but the common brick sizes are 4X8X2¼ and 8x8x2¼. There are also some suppliers that offer mini bricks, which are brick replicas that donors can use as a commemorative paperweight.
What design options are available for engraved bricks?
There are lots of design options you can choose from, such as a simple message, free clipart, logo, or a combination of these. You can even have a more elaborate design. The sky is the limit!
The bigger the brick, the more space you have for design. For example, a 4X8X2¼ engraved brick can typically accommodate three lines of text with 20 characters, while an 8x8x2¼ brick can display six lines of text with 20 characters.
How long will the engraving last on the bricks?
Reputable engraved brick providers use strong materials and top-notch laser technologies, so you can be sure that the engraving will last as long as the durability of the brick’s surface. This means that your donors can enjoy their commemorative brick for years to come!
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
This will depend on your supplier. Some suppliers require a minimum order of 250 or 500 bricks, while others do not have an MOQ but offer discounts for orders of at least 100 bricks.
How much is the shipping fee?
Each supplier will have their own shipping fee computation, but it usually depends on the number of bricks you order and the shipping destination. Most suppliers offer free shipping for orders of 500 bricks or more, while others already price their bricks inclusive of the shipping fee.
When will I receive my order?
This will depend on the supplier you partner with. Some suppliers can ship your order within two weeks, while others may reach up to a month. It’s best to inquire about the estimated shipping time when placing your order.
How can I get started?
If you’re interested in starting an engraved brick fundraiser, simply contact a reputable supplier and place your order. Be sure to inquire about the minimum order quantity, shipping costs, and estimated shipping time. You can also ask for a price list of their available brick sizes and design options. Once you have all the details you require, you can get started on marketing your fundraiser!
