Are rubber/silicone LiveStrong-style bracelets still popular enough to use as a fundraiser this year?

We're looking for ways to help raise money for the 17th Street Farmers' Market in Richmond, VA. If these are still selling, they could be a nice, low-ticket way to raise some funds. (They already kiboshed my cheeky semi-nude calendar idea.)Are rubber/silicone LiveStrong-style bracelets still popular enough to use as a fundraiser this year?
An organization I volunteer for tried selling these a few months ago and it wasn't successful - they didn't make back what they invested to buy the bracelets. I think this trend has passed. The group has moved on to candy

etc.

If it is for the farmers market - what about selling reusable shopping bags with the market's logo on them?


Search google for :Promotional products shopping bags environmentally friendly and you will get a few results, or you can just go without the ';environmentally friendly'; part and it might be cheaper.Are rubber/silicone LiveStrong-style bracelets still popular enough to use as a fundraiser this year?
honestly, no go for something completely out of the box
They are not as popular as before.


Try recycled pencils with falvors, or anything recycled.
no no one at my school wants those anymore
No they're not. I don't think a lot of people who bought them even really wore them for the reason it was meant for.
Not unless they are really cheap ($$$$) and you have at least a 50% profit margin!
The only people I still see wearing the bracelets are the ones who are actually wearing them to support the cause (mostly cancer with the original yellow 10//2 bracelets).





Try lottery tickets with a 50/50 split or something like that.
I would say no. I have a few, and I don't wear them anymore.
