Last week we posted a lot about sticker printing and design for commercial purposes. As the giveaway comes to a close (contest ends on Wednesday, April 10th! Hurry up and enter!), we want to get away from the straight business angles and discuss other uses for promotional circle stickers. We get a lot of sticker orders related to athletics; whether it’s a little league team, college football brand, or a rabid fan, sports stickers are in demand.
Sports Stickers for Kids
Baseball team stickers usually top the request list because, well, kids go crazy over personalized stuff. The same goes for pop warner football, school track teams, after school soccer leagues, etc. Put the team name or mascot on a sticker and you’re guaranteed to get a smile. The best part about making stickers is that the kids can put them anywhere and everywhere— on the backs of their folders, lockers, bicycles, you name it. Another idea for youth sports would be to use round stickers as nametags for events, such as an end of the seasons pizza party. Let the kids put stickers on their shirts or hats! For this purpose, you will probably want to go with a larger circle that’s easy to read from a distance. Speaking of the end of the season, you can print awards stickers to go along with the trophies at your awards ceremony. Stickers are also perfect additions to fundraisers. Hand out stickers as a way of thanking people for their generous support. It goes without saying that stickers make excellent keepsakes down the road when you’re little slugger is all grown up.
Sports Stickers for Grown Ups
Stickers may sound like child’s play, but you’re never too old for physical activity in the form of team sports. Adults typically compete through social or professional groups, including church softball leagues, amateur leagues, and company sponsored get-togethers. With the exception of paid membership clubs, most of the organizations mentioned probably don’t have the resources to spend on team uniforms. In these cases, stickers will save the day by boosting the spirit of camaraderie. Of course, the ideas mentioned in the youth section certainly apply as far as fundraising, events, and awards. Since we’re talking about grownups, don’t forget to slap a couple of stickers on your car or company van.
Business teams sometimes have a hard time getting non-participating staff members involved. One way to get the bench warmers to participate would be to print special stickers for the people sitting on the sidelines. Design something that says “official cheerleader” or “#1 Fan!” so no one feels left out. For small companies, these gestures help instill a lasting bond in your employees.
Custom Sports Fan Stickers
Sure, you can buy decals for any professional sports team, but where’s the fun in that? True fans show their loyalty by designing a sticker tribute to their favorite organization or player. Custom fan stickers make excellent Father’s Day gifts; we here that holiday is just around the corner (hint, hint)….
