Product Sales & Company Partnerships
Some market centers have had success raising funds through product sales. A few examples are:
T-shirt Sales*
The Perimeter East market center has used the site CustomInk.com to design and sell t-shirts at no cost to them. A portion of the proceeds can be donated to Kares 4 Kids.
Note Cards*
Agents love to write thank you notes! The South Forsyth market center designed and sold note cards with the proceeds benefitting Kares 4 Kids.
*When designing merchandise that includes Kares 4 Kids branding, we ask that you work with our team to approve the design before you finalize your order. We are happy to help!
Company partnerships are a low commitment way to fundraise, while offering items that your donors enjoy.
