Are you exhausted from doing the same old fundraising ideas each year. Let's see.... wrapping paper, candy and pizzas. The list goes on and on and they have one thing in common...Dull! You're probably wondering what inflatable entrance tunnels, inflatable football helmet tunnels and mascot tunnels have to do with with simple fundraising ideas. The real truth is, you're about to find out about a great way to raise funds AND raise team spirit by doing something that all will love. Have you ever watched big league players run onto the field or court through an entrance tunnel? There's the expectation of watching and waiting...in many cases you will first see a scrap of fog seeping out of the front and then as anticipation grows, here comes your favorite team running through the tunnel! These inflatable entry tunnels come in all shapes and sizes and they are custom made to match your team colors and graphics. But...can you really make money? It's simple. All the inflatable tunnels are designed to hold advertising banners. Before you even buy your blast tunnel, post a letter to local businesses proposing a chance to advertise their company at the start of each game. Before you realize it, you'll have enough money to buy your sports tunnel...and you'll pull in an income year after year without having to do anything at all. Groups sell ads in yearbooks & school papers and most businesses run an ad knowing they're just endorsing the school. They really don't expect much business off of it. But an Inflatable Mascot tunnel, Inflatable football helmet or even a basic entrance tunnel is SO different. It's like having a giant billboard right out there in front of your audience. Customized tunnels generally begin at about $3000.00 and run up to $7500.00 or so for an Inflatable Mascot or Football Helmet tunnel. If your fundraising budget isn't that high, talk to a couple of local businesses and see if they'll make the buy for you, in exchange for a special advertising agreement.. You might offer to do a couple of announcements at all the games, "Our brand new entry sports tunnel is made possible by our Area Business leadership". Fundamentally they will be prepaying their advertising and you just accumulate the money before instead of later. When you're thinking of an inflatable entrance tunnel, don't just think ball games. You can use your tunnel to get publicity for your team and advertisers in all kinds of ways. Fairs, Festivals, Large corporate Events, Community Days & trade shows are just a few of the sites that you can position your tunnel. And people will love it. Let the kids charge through the tunnel just like the players or just set up a table at the entrance and talk to customers about your organization or product. Whatever you do, be sure to add inflatable sports tunnels to your list of fundraising ideas this year! About the Author: Curious which tunnel is right for your cheerleading fundraising ideas?
