Using personalized lunch boxes for promotions that have a retro theme will definitely make your event at big hit. For baby boomers it will bring them back to a time and a place that is filled with great memories. For your Gen X’ers and Millennium’s, the tin box with the brilliant graphics will create an air of nostalgia.

We personally see these personalized lunch boxes being used at corporate events where there is a box lunch being served, such as golf event or simply a picnic to break up a daylong meeting. Event planners will find the pricing to fit into their budget and the value to be high.

Personalized lunch boxes are also really popular with the grade school set. They are ideal from being used to promote a school or a club to educating children about healthy eating habits. We also see these lunch boxes as ideal school fundraisers for teams, clubs or grades or the entire school.

To make your personalized lunch boxes really stand out it comes down to the printing. We offer several options to fit both your budgets and artistic requirements. 

Full Color Process – Features water resistant permanently laminated adhesive labels that are printed with pigmented ink to prevent fading. 

Silk Screen Process – Matches PMS colors as closely as possible. There can be slight color variations due to the metal substrate.

Full Color Body Print – For the ultimate graphic impression we print each piece of the box prior to assembly to cover the entire body of the lunch box.

Give us a call today at 888-344-6060 get your questions answered and we can get your personalized lunches designed, printed and on their way to your next event.

Stadium seat chairs are a great product for fundraising or associating your brand with sport club.
Anyone who has ever sat on an ice cold bleacher seat will attest that having some padding underneath makes the event that much more enjoyable.

The first question we ask clients that are looking for stadium seat chairs is their price point. If they are looking at spending approximately $3.00, the best option is to use a folding stadium cushion. If they want to spend over $10.00 then we suggest that they look at a folding stadium seat. Both products will cushion the hard bleacher but the seat offers back support and the versatility of reclining.

We have tested both product types and will be glad to share our thoughts. The folding stadium seats proved to be a great addition on a trip down the Green and Colorado rivers proving that these handy seats have a broader functionality than watching a football or baseball game.

Product Features

• Colors – black, blue, green and red
• Minimum order is 150
• Full color imprinting optional
• Rush delivery available
• Stadium seat has adjustable side straps to control angle
• Stadium cushion has elastic straps that act as a closure.

MCM has helped many schools, clubs and teams with their fundraising efforts. We have a complete solution that includes a free web based fundraising campaign. Click on Fundraising to learn more or call us today at 888-344-6060. You can also reach us at sales@mcmproductions.com

Personalized or customized friendship bracelets are about to become the hot product that will make silly bands or silicone awareness bracelets old school. This just came from a teenage client who is using friendship bracelets in a fundraiser. Teenagers are the big trendsetters and we watch their habits closely.

A year ago silly bands were the hot item but trends come and go very quickly. We predict our young client is correct. While friendship bracelets date back to the early 70’s we see them making a revival as charitable organizations need to differentiate themselves in the always challenging fundraising environment.

                                                             70′s Style Friendship Bracelets  

Back in the 70’s the friendship bracelets was simply a colorful braided rope tied with a knot. Today we can offer you a customized – personalized version with your organization’s name imprinted onto the fabric. These new school bracelets feature 2 metal beads to adjust the wrist size and come in both 3/8 “and 5/8” widths. The minimum order quantity is only 72 pieces which makes customized- personalized friendship bracelets perfect for smaller organizations. You can even imprint on both sides for a small additional charge.

If you are looking for the product that will be the next silly band or silicone awareness bracelets, we believe our new teenage client is absolutely correct. Call the MCM sales team today at 888-344-6060 or e-mail us at sales@mcmproductions.com

Are you tasked with raising money for a charter school? Did you volunteer as a fundraising volunteer for a charter school? Raising money and fundraising programs for charter schools can be both rewarding and fun.

MCM has created a fundraising program that works with schools, clubs, sports teams, alumni organizations and well almost any organization that needs to raise money. What differentiates our strategy from all of the rest is that we use all of the latest web based marketing tools to deliver a turn key program that requires very little volunteer effort.

With over 21 years experience in promotional logo merchandise MCM provides each organization with a free web site and all of the marketing support to run a fundraising program with no out lay in money and no telephone or door to door soliciting. Web marketing and sales is growing at a remarkably fast rate. We help you use the power of the World Wide Web to reach your audience.

Charter schools are ideal for fundraising as the result of the strength of their community. We find that charter school parents and faculty have an incredibly strong bond and it extends with the relatives also. We also know that charter schools must be continually raising money as the state and local subsidiary only covers a portion of the educational costs.

Click on the link to our Fundraising Page and read a bit more about us and our fundraising program for your charter school. You can also give us a call at 888-344-6060. If you need to raise money for your charter school, you have come to the perfect place.

Have you ever been tasked with raising money for a club, school or team? Anyone who has done this knows that it can be a major challenge.

Raising funds for nonprofit organizations is a right of passage for volunteers. At MCM we have developed a program that supports nonprofit fundraising and it makes the process easy and fun. We utilize our 21 years of experience in logoed merchandise and our custom web site technology to create profitable fund raising programs that maximize the monies raised and minimize the hours that volunteers need to invest.

In a nuts shell we build custom web sites and provide marketing support to help nonprofits sell custom merchandise to their members and supporters.

Here’s the plan:

1. MCM has a detailed outline of the time frame, types of products and the number of sku’s to offer.
2. We offer all of the marketing tools from formatted fundraising letters to FaceBook strategy.
3. Included is a custom web site with a “call to action” landing page, an on-line store and SSL credit card checkout. There is no charge for the standard web site.
4. The organization is provided the cost of each item and they determine the resale prices. We have some proven guide lines to share.
5. All of the sales are seamlessly processed through MCM and at the predetermined closing date, all of the sales are tallied and the products are produced.
6. There is an option for the organization to purchase additional product for future sales.
7. All finished goods are shipped directly to the organization for distribution and MCM mails the check.

This is as close to a complete turn-key program as one can get. We have a proven track record in these approach and we would really like to share more of this with you and discuss the options.

Give us a call at 888-344-6060. We would like to help you raise money for your favorite cause!

When you study sales and marketing you learn about this progression:

1. Meet your customers needs.
2. Exceed your customers needs.
3. Anticipate your customers needs.

The challenge in today’s web based environment is how do you market something that has so many applications and try to give it a name that describes all of its features? Complicating things further is that most people are not looking for this tool, even though it probably is a viable solution for many different opportunities.

For lack of a better name we call our new tool “Private Client Enterprise” (PCE). We took the concept of the traditional on-line company store and with the support of some really well written software we can build unique web stores in minutes. We then apply some creativity in where and how to use the store.

The example in the photo was done for a local lacrosse league for their annual fund raiser. Today we are working on a fundraising site for a major university and one for a retail store for a river rafting company. The applications are only limited by one’s imagination.

Are you trying to raise money for a charity or club? Do you want to offer your employees corporate products? Could your business use an on-line retail web store with logo products?

We have a “killer app” for you. Give either Chris or Ken a call and let us build a sample site and show you the many ways you can use our PCE. 888-344-6060 Let your imagination run wild.
