Why does a sports team need a button maker?

continued from page one

Are you the coach or a supporter of the team? Wear a logo button on business calls or out shopping. This inspires people to ask about it and you are able then to tell them about the next game. Drumming up support for a team is not just about fundraising. Team players will feel the support of their community if you can attract people to the games. This also shows your team spirit and willingness to show it to others. Buttons are a perfect conversation starter and you can also recruit new players by wearing buttons out in town. The more people you see, the more people will see your button.

When the season grows to a close, the players can receive a button with their statistics and the year on it. An “MVP” button can be rotated from one game to the next for players who make the game winning touchdown or home run. A seasonal “MVP” button can include the player’s name, year and the team logo. Are you going to the playoffs or to a championship game? This is a great time to make buttons with the teams information on it and get out in the community to raise some support. People are inspired by achievement, so sending players out into the business community wearing a button with their seasonal contributions to the sport will often be an icebreaker and deal sealer.

Be it football, golf, baseball, soccer, swimming, or any other team event a button-making machine would come in handy. These ideas will transfer, no matter the sport or age group. What you put on the buttons is limited only by the imagination and the uses for buttons are endless. If you are an athletic director at a school or for a community you should have a button-making machine for the teams to use. Even if you are a coach of a local team, button-making machines will pay for themselves over and over. Raising money and gaining team support can be accomplished by investing in a button-making machine.
