Theater companies are always trying to come up with ideas for fundraising. It is one of the biggest challenges any non-profit theater company faces. I know of some companies who have wanted to sell their logo merchandise such as t-shirts, mugs, hats etc., but few have the available capital to do bulk orders then take the chance of not selling them all.
Cafepress has changed all of that. For free (yes, I said FREE), your theater company can create your very own Cafepress shop online. No minimum orders, no handling merchandise, just upload your images, create your products and get the link to your supporters! For an example, see what Next Stage theater company has available online: Next Stage Theater Shop. Next Stage does have an upgraded shop that costs $6.95 per month which gives you unlimited categories and products, and a totally customizable shop front. The free option works just fine if you want just a few products. Check it out – it’s a great way to show your theater spirit and raise funds for your theater company!
