Have you seen those Message bracelets? Those tiny and cute pieces of wristbands or silicone rubber bracelets in colorful hues that were once found on the hands of high schoolers and middle schoolers but which are now found to grace the manicured hands and wrists of celebrities.
What started off as a mere fashion accessory has now evolved into Message bracelets or awareness bracelets and their job now is to spread awareness about different social issues. People are now trying to convey a message to society by wearing socially responsible Message bracelets.
And the messages can be anything, starting from raising awareness about breast cancer or ovarian cancer or cervical cancer or blood cancer or AIDS or hepatitis to environmental damage and pollution or global warming or the vanishing green cover from the face of earth or go green campaigns.
Some of the Message bracelets send across messages like Say No to Child Labor or Stop Child Trafficking or raise your voice against underage prostitution, while some others try to create awareness about orphaned children and their plights, literacy campaigns for the underprivileged and the deprived, Save the Girl child mission and many other such socially relevant campaigns.
PETA or People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals also sell Message bracelets to create and spread awareness about the dangers of poaching wildlife, the dwindling numbers of whales and tigers and cheetahs and lions and pandas in the world etc. It also tries to educate people through their Message bracelets not to treat animals cruelly or kill them unnecessarily.
Then there are Message bracelets through which environmentalists try to create awareness about Save the Forests, Save the Greens, or about female infanticide or obesity or the dangers of diabetes – the list is endless. In short it means that if you have a socially relevant cause, then get hold of silicone rubber bracelets, inscribe the message on them and distribute or sell those Message bracelets to people to raise funds for supporting your cause.
The best place to purchase these Message bracelets is the internet. Just type “buy Message bracelets” in the search engines and you will get access to millions of sites selling different kinds of Message bracelets, espousing different causes, embossed with different slogans or messages and you can pick any of your choice.
Sometimes they cost a few cents, sometimes they cost a dollar – to be frank they are dirt cheap and fly off the virtual racks, especially in the wake of any natural calamity or catastrophe as happened after the December 26th Boxing Day Asiatic tsunami.
The tsunami relief fund sold millions of Message bracelets worldwide and the millions of dollars that were raised were used to send relief to tsunami victims who had lost their all.

What is a rubber band bracelet? People refer to these bracelets in many different ways. Most common are the terms; silicone bracelet, rubber bracelet, and of course instead of bracelet the word wristband is used interchangeably. Other labels being used are; awareness bracelet or jelly bracelet. And other names stem from their use such as; cancer bracelets, event bracelets, “support our troops” bracelets, etc.
What you call the bracelets is not as important as what they may be used for. Generally, they are used for fundraising and awareness promotions. Many organizations sell them with an important phrase or symbol imprinted on the bracelet created in some significant color to help identify their cause.
A rubber band bracelet is made of durable silicone that can stretch but will not break easily. During manufacture the bracelet is molded in the colors of choice and the text is debossed into the bracelet. It is possible to simply print the text on the bracelet but the text can eventually wear away, and debossed text prevents that from happening. Of course, another option is to paint or color the debossed text to enhance the look of the bracelet allowing the text to stand out more.
Text is not the only thing people have printed or debossed on the bracelets. Many have opted to have symbols or logos included on the rubber band bracelet. Including a logo is an excellent way of marketing a product or brand. Some companies have pass out the bracelets and encourage people to wear them and display them freely. This type of use can be an inexpensive promotional tool for just about any company or organization.
Many fundraisers and charities will sell the bracelets to raise money. At the same time having people wear them around town creates visibility and awareness for any cause, idea, or brand being promoted. The cost of the rubber bracelet is low, and the larger quantity purchased, the lower the cost will be for each one. The cost can go down well below a dollar a bracelet allowing plenty of head room for profit that can benefit any fundraiser.
Whether you call them rubber band bracelets, silicone bracelets, rubber bracelets, or awareness bracelets, they are another good way to raise money, create awareness, and promote your product brand.

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!

Don’t believe it is too late to take advantage of the colored rubber wristbands concept for promoting an issue. Since the 2004 debut of the LIVESTRONG campaign started by the Lance Armstrong Foundation those yellow wristbands are selling extremely well. By 2005, 55 million wristbands have been sold, which is just a phenomenal achievement. Fortunately, the foundation did not patent or copyright this awareness wristband concept which I understand was a conscious decision, allowing other organizations and groups to utilize the same idea to promote their own causes.
Today, we can see various colors used to symbolize support for many other charities and causes. You will see pink rubber wristbands to promote awareness about breast cancer. Red wristbands have been used for D.A.R.E., HIV, and heart disease issues. White bracelets are being used to advance Peace on Earth and Right to Life ideology, as well as a few other issues. Nearly every color of the rainbow has now been adopted to symbolize and represent the numerous organizations and ideologies that are being advanced to the world. It is not uncommon to have multiple groups using the same colors, because the messages embossed on them will be the distinguishing factor that will set them apart from the others.
Using colored rubber wristbands to advance or sell an idea or product is still a very viable method to promote your ideology, charity, or product. As inexpensive as these wristbands are, it would be in your organizations best interest to consider them for your promotional needs.
