4 Ways to Use Promotional Items to Boost School Spirit

School spirit plays an essential role in school success, especially regarding fundraising and helping the school stay afloat with resources. If you’re thinking about using promotional items to boost school spirit, think again. They are more affordable than you might think and can be used in so many ways to reach your target market.

If you need ideas on how to use promotional items, check out these ideas to help you achieve your goal of creating more school spirit:

1. Pencils
Pencils are essential school supplies, so why not hand them out with your school’s name and logo? Students will love getting a new pack of pencils, and you’ll love seeing your school’s name around campus.

You can also use pencils to reward students for good behaviour or grades. Hand out special golden pencils to those who go above and beyond, and watch as students strive to earn their own.

2. Memo Clips
Personalise memo clips and add your school’s colours, mascots, or initials to make them unique.

But keep in mind, quality over quantity is essential. It’s better to have a few high-quality items that will last rather than some cheap items that will fall apart quickly.

Make them useful. If people will use and keep your promotional memo clips, they need to be helpful in their everyday lives.

3. Notebooks
Give them out at orientation or the first day of school. Put them in goodie bags for open houses or other events. Notebooks are also recommended for use as rewards for good behaviour or academic achievement. You can also give them to the staff and faculty as a show of appreciation.

You can also sell and use the proceeds to benefit a school club or charity. So, you have to get creative and come up with your ideas.

4. Pens
Customised pens are a great way to show school spirit. They can be given out at events, used as fundraisers, or sold in the school store. Plus, they're a valuable and practical item that everyone can use.

Here are four ways to use promotional pens to boost school spirit:

  • Hand them out at school events
  • Use them as fundraisers
  • Sell them in the school store
  • Give them away as prizes

5. Rulers
Customised rulers are a great way to show school spirit and promote your school or team. Give them out at games, pep rallies, or other school events. You can also sell them in the school store or at fundraisers. Personalise them with your school colours or mascot for an extra special touch.

6. Erasers
Often, people forget about erasers when it comes to promotional items. But erasers are a great way to get your school's name out there. You can hand them out at open houses, parent-teacher conferences, or even in the hallways. Plus, they're helpful, so people will keep them around. And that could turn out to be a successful marketing campaign.
