When prospective buyers know the money is going to support a good cause, they are much more likely to purchase branded merchandise particularly if the printed products are attractive and functional. For example, pens, pencils, magnets, keyrings, business card holders, mugs, water bottles and t-shirts are all excellent examples of custom logo items that are functional, can be purchased inexpensively and are easy to sell.
