Teatowels

Picture this: Grandparents proudly displaying a tea towel featuring their grandchild's artwork in their kitchen. Parents using it daily, reminded of their child's creativity. Aunts and uncles buying multiples as gifts. This is the magic of a tea towel fundraiser-it transforms children's art into practical, beautiful keepsakes that people genuinely want to own.

TeaTowels.co.nz specialises in turning your students' artwork into high-quality, durable tea towels that become family heirlooms. It's fundraising that feels personal, meaningful, and rewarding for everyone involved.

Why Tea Towels Create Lasting Impact

• Emotional Connection: When supporters see their child's or grandchild's artwork on a tea towel, they're not just buying a product-they're preserving a memory. This emotional connection drives sales like nothing else.
• Practical Beauty: Unlike artwork that sits in a drawer, tea towels are used daily. Every time someone reaches for one, they're reminded of your school and the child who created the design. It's advertising that lasts for years.
• Perfect Gifts: These make exceptional gifts for extended family. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends love receiving something so personal and meaningful.
• Student Pride: When children see their artwork transformed into a professional product, their confidence soars. They become your best salespeople, excitedly showing off their creations to everyone they know.

2. Inspire Creative Expression

Plan an art collection activity that excites your students. Whether it's a themed project (e.g., "Our School Community" or "New Zealand Wildlife") or free expression, make it special. Consider having an art day where students create their masterpieces together.

3. Set a Compelling Goal

Be specific about what you're raising funds for. "New playground equipment" or "School camp scholarships" resonates more than "general funds." When supporters understand the impact, they're more generous.

4. Build Anticipation

Start promoting before artwork collection begins. Share the concept with parents, create excitement around the art project, and let everyone know this will be something special. Build anticipation, and sales will follow naturally.

5. Make Ordering Effortless

Create clear order forms with pricing, deadlines, and payment options. Accept cash, bank transfers, and cheques to accommodate everyone. Set up a dedicated email or collection point for orders to keep things organised.

6. Celebrate the Artwork

When the tea towels arrive, make distribution day special. Consider hosting a "reveal" event where students see their artwork on the finished product. Take photos, share on social media, and celebrate the creativity. This creates momentum for future fundraisers.

Pro Tips for Maximum Success

• Create Sample Displays: Show parents what the finished product looks like by displaying sample tea towels at school events. Visual proof sells better than descriptions.
• Offer Multiple Designs: Allow families to choose from different artwork options or create themed collections. More choices mean more sales.
• Set Up a Gallery: Display all the artwork before orders are due. This helps supporters see the quality and variety, encouraging multiple purchases.
• Involve Students: Have students write short descriptions of their artwork or explain what inspired them. This personal touch increases emotional connection.
• Create Urgency: Set a clear deadline and remind supporters that orders won't be accepted after the closing date. Limited-time offers create action.

The Gift That Keeps Giving

What makes tea towel fundraisers special is their longevity. Years from now, families will still be using these tea towels, remembering the fundraiser, and thinking fondly of your school. It's not just fundraising-it's relationship building that extends far beyond the campaign.
