Do you know the humble little cute looking fashion accessory called silicone rubber bracelet has been dubbed or been conferred with the honorary title of charity bracelet? Why so, you may ask amusedly. The reason is very simple.
Rubber bracelets have always figured high on the popularity charts, especially among young adults, pop stars, movie icons, fashion divas, fashionistas, recessionistas and youngsters who worship every move made by celebs. The reasons are varied.
Firstly, rubber bracelets are cheap, inexpensive and pocket friendly. Anyone can afford them, even high school students. Secondly, rubber bracelets can effortlessly lift the look of your outfit without your having to spend a fortune on accessories.
Thirdly, because these custom rubber silicone bracelets are available in a multitude of designs, patterns, motifs and colors, you can purchase a bunch of them in rainbow hues and wear them with matching outfits. Or you can simply make a cool style statement by wearing all the multicolored wristbands at one go. Rest assured, no one will miss them adorning your pretty wrists.
This is exactly why charitable organizations, charity trusts, churches, MNCs, NGOs, philanthropic organizations and others use the charity bracelet or rubber bracelet with a message or slogan inscribed inside to create awareness about a particular cause. No one fails to miss these message bracelets and particular colors stand for raising awareness about particular causes.
Such as pink charity bracelets sold by charitable organizations trying to raise awareness about breast cancer and the proceeds from the sales go towards supporting victims of breast cancer or cancer research.
Those who plan charity campaigns or sports campaigns or marathon campaigns or even campaigns that highlight various kinds of social evils often will utilize customized silicone rubber bracelets as these involve minimal capital expenditure.
But the turnover profit is huge because of their massive demand.
Usually embossed or Debossed or silk screen printed personalized charity bracelets with slogans, messages or goodwill logos are preferred by fund organizers, donors and charity trusts and churches.
Even the laser engraved ones are very popular as charity bracelets. But the screen printed silicone rubber wristbands cannot stand the test of time and get worn out, so the debossed text may be preferred.
However, when you are purchasing these cute looking charity bracelets from online stores, be careful that you are not being taken for a ride. There are plenty of sites cooking up scheming campaigns and they resort to high decibel brouhaha to sell good looking custom silicone bracelets to gullible fools.
These are the sites that are trying to rip you off, by showing their support for some strange concern or cause and by citing that the sale proceeds will go to such and such charity organizations. I will advise you to check out the credentials of these sites, charity trusts and the NGOs they are naming in their sites. Beware of fraudulent organizations.

Half a dollar price tag for such cute rubber bracelets is the real reason behind the popularity of these bracelets.

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.

Getting custom silicone bracelets made is not as difficult or expensive as one might think. When ever the word custom is used to describe something people automatically think it includes a lot of work and money to get it customized. However, when talking about a custom rubber bracelet, that doesn’t have to be the case.
Customize your wristband
To design a custom wristband or bracelet it is a simple process that can be completed online using your computer. If you visit bracelets-with-a-message.com and go to the order page you will be presented with all of the choices and options to start styling your rubber bracelet. The page shows you color options (to the right) to choose for your bracelets. You can use one solid color or a combination of a couple of colors as a two tone or swirl effect. If you do not see the color you want it is possible to request a custom color.
There are numerous text options that have been proven to look good and are readable, but just note the message that a few colors do not read well with certain fonts. Next step is to enter your text you want to appear on the outside of the wristband. The lettering will be debossed (engraved) into the rubber bracelet and will be the same color as the bracelet. You can also have additional text inserted into the inside portion of the wristband for small additional fee. Some clients prefer to include their domain name or web address inside the rubber bracelet for marketing purposes. Whatever text you enter, click on the preview button to see an example of what your custom rubber bracelets are going to look like.
Of course it is an option to have a logo or emblem printed or debossed into the bracelet. This can be done instead of your text message or as an additional part of the message. If this is desirable for your order it is necessary to be given proof of ownership of any logo images.
Another option to consider is the sizing of the bracelet. By default there are 2 choices, Adult and Youth. Keep in mind that sometimes the youth sizes work better for some women, and it is always possible to get custom sizes made. These custom silicone bracelets are made of durable silicone, so they do stretch, but they will not break easily, and can last a lifetime.
How many? This is the big question at the end of your order. To help in your decision keep in mind how popular the rubber wristbands have become of the years. Also, the more you order the cost can drop drastically. If the wristbands are for a fundraising campaign then creating a larger profit margin would be desirable. Large quantity order can bring down the cost well below $1.00 per bracelet. Another money saving feature is you will get free delivery for any purchase of $50.00 or more.
Ordering custom rubber bracelets is a simple and painless procedure, and with free, fast delivery, what are you waiting for? Order rubber bracelets, now!
