Ornament Fundraisers Start Now!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...  Truly.

The holidays may seem farther away than they really are at the moment, so this friendly public service announcement is to remind you that if you're planning on creating an ornament fundraiser, it's time to start your order now!  The whole ordering process takes longer than expected to produce and ship ornaments during the busiest season of the year, so we want to make sure you get your orders in on time for delivery before the holidays are past.

How long do ornament orders take to be delivered?  Well, that depends on manufacturing material you choose, how long it takes for art production and your approval, and shipping time to wherever we're shipping to.  The range is from 4 to 8 weeks from start to finish for custom ornaments.  If you're ordering a custom glass ball ornament, count on 4 weeks total.  If you're ordering an custom shaped metal ornament, count on 8 weeks.  There's a whole die cutting process involved, production and shipping from overseas, etc that takes a bit longer for etched metal ornaments

Another advantage of ordering early is that you have more time you have to sell your custom ornaments until the last holiday of the season is past.  Having 1 month to sell your ornaments is a lot more probable than having 1 week to accomplish the same, right?  So in that case, it's time to get your order started.   

A few ornament materials to select from for your custom design are right here:

Acrylic Ornaments (custom shaped, full color)
Ceramic Ornaments (stock shapes, full color)

Color Filled Brass Ornaments (custom shaped)
Epoxy Dome Brass Ornaments (stock shapes, full color)
Etched Metal Ornaments (custom shaped in brass nickel, or copper)
Glass Ball Ornaments (stock shape glass in 31 colors, full color option)
Goldtone / Silvertone Ornaments (stock shapes, screen printed 1 color)
Nanobrite Stained Glass Ornaments (stock shapes, full color)
Pewter Ornaments (custom shaped, optional color fill)
Porcelain Ornaments (stock shapes, full color)
Shatterproof Ornaments (stock shapes, screen printed 1+ colors)

To start your custom ornament fundraiser, select a material from the list above, and click on the picture.  You'll land directly on the selection page for that specific ornament type, where you can start your order.  Not sure about imprint options for the image you would like printed?  Request a quote directly from one of the product links above by clicking on one of the selections you see in the store page.  (The Request Quote button is located right next to the Order button for each item once you're in the store.)

Remember, the earlier you order your custom ornaments, the more time you have to sell them before the holidays are past us.  Maximize your ornament fundraising opportunities by ordering in October. 

Cheers to a successful custom Christmas ornament fundraiser!
