Gone are the days when silicone rubber bracelets were only silly fashion accessories that were seen on the wrists of prepubescent teenagers and high schoolers or college goers. Nowadays you will find adults wearing custom silicone rubber bracelets of all kinds on their wrists. These are mostly found on the wrists of celebs, pop stars, sports personalities and politicians.
You must be thinking that these people have gone mad to sport such prepubescent fashion on adult arms, but if you take a closer look, you will find that these are not just any silly fashion accessory that dresses up your outfit. These are what they call, custom rubber bracelets, which spread social awareness about a particular cause or event.
These custom rubber bracelets are special. They are inscribed with messages supporting a particular cause or event, usually meant for charity and these charitable organizations often sell thousands or millions of custom rubber bracelets which act as fundraising items.
Because these silicone rubber bracelets are very cheap and within the budget of most people, people can afford to purchase a dozen or two of these bracelets in different colors and patterns, matching with their outfits. Half a dollar price tag for such cute rubber bracelets is the real reason behind the popularity of these bracelets. After all who wouldn’t love showing off such colorful and fashionable bracelets on well manicured hands?
So far we thought only corporate organizations and companies tried to publicize and promote their companies by distributing hundreds of custom rubber bracelets, completely free of cost. Of course rubber bracelets are better giveaways than cups and mugs and pens and they are less costly as well. In fact rubber bracelets are ideal giveaways for corporate companies because of their aesthetic appeal and dirt cheap rates.
But nowadays even politicians are using custom rubber bracelets to promote their party or a particular candidate. These politicians emboss their names and party slogans on rubber bands of their chosen party color and distribute these silicone rubber bands to supporters and the general public for free during campaigns.
Now during presidential campaigns, if you see one group of people wearing blue silicone rubber wristbands and the other party wearing red, you will immediately guess which group belongs to which political party.
But mostly, custom rubber bracelets are sold or distributed free of cost to raise awareness about debilitating diseases or to raise funds for the rehab of victims of natural catastrophes like earthquakes and tsunamis and volcanoes and famines or floods.

Many people suffer from diseases and cancers that currently do not have a cure. Many of us are unaware of the difficult circumstances these people must suffer everyday of their lives. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough funding donated to research programs to maintain the level of scientific study that needs to go into finding cures for these diseases. It is necessary to keep the public and the politicians aware of how strapped for cash these research projects are these days.
Cancer research projects need the help of the public to keep theses causes central in people’s minds especially the governments that tend to give funding to the noisiest special interest groups. Additionally, if we don’t have someone close to us that is affected by one of these dreadful diseases, it is easy to forget how others may be suffering. If we don’t have a personal connection to a disease we can continue on with our lives without giving it another thought, sad but true.
Fortunately, there are organizations that try to maintain public awareness of the needs of cancer research projects. These organizations use many different methods to get the word out to the public and government officials. A few which you may be aware are television commercials, print ads, celebrity endorsements, public rallies, and fundraising campaigns and events.
One popular method used is cancer awareness bracelets. The bracelets are used as reminders of the need to support funding and research for various research projects. They also act as a reminder for people to donate some of their time and money to the cause.
Cancer awareness bracelets come in many colors and support various cancer treatments and research. I’m sure you can recall seeing someone wearing those pink rubber breast cancer bracelets. The breast cancer awareness bracelets were made of silicone rubber and had “Hope Faith Love” printed or embossed on the bracelet.
Another well known use of the cancer awareness bracelet was the yellow “Live Strong” bracelet popularized by Lance Armstrong. In fact, he is considered the originator of the silicone rubber awareness bracelets trend.
The cancer awareness bracelets not only keep awareness alive but are also used to raise money to support the cause. The silicone rubber bracelets are inexpensive to manufacture and give cancer organizations a reasonable profit margin to make money off of each bracelet they sell.
Whether your organization sells the bracelets or gives them away, more people could be wearing them and keeping their thoughts, hopes, prayers, and support alive for those that truly need it.

Include a phrase or word on a silicone bracelet will allow others to see your message and inspire them to give their support to your campaign. This is the same method Lance Armstrong used to expand support and awareness of cancer issues with his yellow silicone rubber bracelets with the phrase Live Strong embossed on the bracelet. The yellow bracelets became very popular and numerous other organizations followed his lead, using other colors and slogans to promote their own cause.
Silicone bracelets are not only popular for charities but also for team affiliations and brand promotions. Various colors and color combinations are now being used to promote awareness about many different causes.
I have seen green bracelets with “Go Celtics” worn by basketball fans and “Live Green” for environmental issues. You have probably seen the popular “Support our Troops” yellow bracelets used to make sure we don’t forget our soldiers that are fighting around the world. Another popular bracelet you may have seen is the pink rubber bracelets for breast cancer awareness, and the uses are endless.
What if your company has a product to promote? Use the logo colors and the product name on the bracelet, and start passing them out. For less than a dollar for each bracelet your product name and branding could be exposed to thousands of people. The same concept is possible if you have a musical group you wish to market. A custom silicone bracelet can be made for any promotional project.
Just about any phrase, word or symbol can be included on the bracelet, so customizing the bracelet to fit your organization is very simple. If you keep the same message on the bracelet the cost of production is the same. Of course, the more you have produced the less expensive is the cost per bracelet.
Any color or color combination can be chosen, and custom colors can be accommodated as well. Some color chooses include the swirl colors that give a psychedelic look to the bracelet, or even a camouflage look for the militant types.
Choosing your preferred colors, text and symbols does not add to the cost of the bracelet. If all bracelets have the same text and symbols then cost of production stays the same.
