How to Save Money on Silicone Bracelets?

Answer 1

A silicone bracelet is a great way of promoting a message or to spread awareness about a certain cause. Perhaps the most recognizable silicone bracelet is the yellow Livestrong wristband that promotes the foundation founded by cyclist Lance Armstrong.

Even though the Livestrong bracelets may be the best known, they are by no means the only type of silicone bracelet on the market. Recently, a school in Pennsylvania banned silicone bracelets that proclaimed “I love boobies.” Although the bracelets were intended to promote Breast cancer awareness, school administrators found the message objectionable.

One reason why these wristbands are so popular is that they are durable, easily recognized, and cheap to produce. A person can often buy one of these rubber wristbands for under one dollar. He can easily put it on and forget about it. The only problem with this occurs when the band is placed around the wrist too tightly. Cutting off all circulation to the hands and fingers does not normally happen, but can be damaging. If the wrist band is too tight when it gets placed upon the wrist, a wise person will take it off.

As a fundraiser, the wrist band works well because of its low cost and its popularity. Both men and women can be seen sporting these bands. They may not be attractive as an expensive wrist watch or a good looking piece of jewelry, but they do attract attention. Purchasers of these bracelets can put them on immediately and wear them anywhere. They work well to promote visibility of a cause in the casual day-to-day situations that most of us face.

The best way to save money on silicone wristbands is to buy them in bulk from a specialized manufacturer. Runs of thousands at a time are the best way to go, although a smaller organization may find reasonable rate on runs of hundreds of these bracelets. More importantly, a person can easily wear more than one of these narrow bands at a time.
