Charity Wristbands
Customised wristbands have become synonymous with charities. Many charities give out silicone wristbands at events that have been organised to raise funds, as well as to volunteers. Wristbands are used to raise awareness of the charity, and are sometimes given to people, but often sold for a small fee, or given in return for a donation. Recipients of custom wristbands often wear them for many weeks or months, providing ongoing awareness to anyone that the wearer meets.

Support and ID Silicone Wristbands
People are increasingly wearing wristbands for identification purposes. Wristbands are printed with information highlighting allergies or medical conditions that emergency services would need to be immediately aware of. Some businesses are dedicated to stocking such wristbands, and we can supply in large quantities at a low price for such purposes. At other times such wristbands are given out by a relevant charity or organisation. Whether you are allergic to penicillin, have a medical condition such a diabetes, or an invisible difficulty such as autism, wearing a wristband raises awareness, and allows appropriate support to be given in an emergency.
Business Promotion and Marketing
Due to the fact that people tend to wear wristbands for the longer term, they are a great choice as a marketing tool. Anyone that wears a silicone wristband printed with your business logo or name will be inadvertently marketing your company as they go about their daily lives. Making the design of your wristband eye-catching and appealing will help to ensure that recipients will want to wear them, and that they are noticed. Of course, people are more likely to wear your business wristband if they feel a sense of connection with your organisation, ethos, and cause, so thinking about your target audience when creating the design is an important part of the marketing strategy.
