Schools & FundraisersFridge Clings as a School Fundraiser: A PTA Ordering Guide
Fundraiser budgets are tight, and a lot of promotional giveaways end up in the trash before the event is even over. A fridge cling is one of the few items in that price range that families actually keep — a school logo, mascot, or spirit-week design that ends up on the family fridge instead of the garbage can the same day.
Why clings work for school budgets
Low per-unit cost is the whole point. Our Mini Fridge Cling sits at the low end of our pricing range, and because our 100-unit minimum is low enough to fit a single classroom or grade-level order, PTAs don’t need to commit to a huge quantity to make the math work — you can start small and reorder for the next event once you see how well the first batch is received.
Common PTA and booster club uses
- Spirit-night giveaways — handed out at a school event, printed with the mascot or school colors.
- Fundraiser incentive items — included with a donation tier as a thank-you.
- New-family welcome packets — a school logo cling included when a new student enrolls.
- Booster club membership drives — a branded item that visibly signals “we support the team.”
Choosing a design that fits the budget
A single-color-forward mascot or school logo, die-cut to shape, tends to get the best reaction for the lowest cost — it looks intentional rather than like a printed handout. If budget allows a bit more, a Standard Rectangle with a photo of the team or a class can add a personal touch for a specific grade or program.
| Order size | Typical program | Recommended format |
|---|---|---|
| 100–300 | Single classroom or club | Mini or Die-Cut |
| 300–1,000 | Grade-level or spirit night | Standard Rectangle or Mini |
| 1,000+ | School-wide or district | Mini (lowest per-unit cost at scale) |
Getting the order approved
PTAs and booster clubs often need a quote in hand before a budget vote or fundraising committee meeting. Request your quote early — we return pricing within one business day — so you have real numbers to bring to the meeting rather than an estimate.
