Baseball and softball are two sports, especially at the high school level, that are not recognized or ever appreciated as much as some of the other sports that a school has to offer. Many people don't go to the games or support the school teams simply because they just don't know about it. Instead of posting up advertising signs all over the school and surrounding community, why not baseball a new kind of advertisement. It is a good idea to try something different, just to shake things up and get people talking. A few people can start to wear baseball trading pins around for a few days, and soon enough everybody will be wanting their own custom trading pins for the baseball and softball teams. The softball trading pins are great too because it brings a lot of attention to a couple of sports that are in need of some hype.
You will find that everyone loves the trading pins because they are cool enough to pin on to purses, backpacks, or sweatshirts, but at the baseball time they are not big and flashy. Often people will begin showing the pins off in class, which is almost like free advertisement. All this can happen simply by word of mouth!
It is a good idea to make a simple design of baseballs, for the baseball trading pins, along with two bats crossing like an 'X'. Then add the letters of the school, embossed on the top so that people can actually feel the custom idea of our design. This will make them look really cool when the first batch is delivered in the mail. You should be able to sell a lot in the first weeks, so consider ordering a second batch. Even the parents and teachers will buy pins because they'll enjoy the novelty of the project. Soon enough everybody at the school or even the community will be wearing at least one kind of sports pin. Not only will they wear them while in school, but they also at the games and out in public too, giving the teams even more community wide coverage.
As far as the softball pins go, those trading pins can be made very simple as well. Girls' teams usually want a little brighter colors and a unique look. Anything is available. The design can be bright pink, lime green, or fuchsia! They do not need to be the school or team colors! You may choose to have the school log on them or the player's name or number or both. People all over the community will want to purchase a couple. They will be easily affordable and fun to wear.
If your sports team is not getting a lot of coverage around your school and surrounding area, and you wish to be noticed a little bit more, try this cool new idea at your own school or in your community to see if it helps. The more you put your self out there, the more people will notice you! Try it out and see what good comes out of it; you never know, it might be a home run!
Chuck Stewart recently purchased several baseball trading pins for his high school team and softball trading pins for his wife's team.
