Interested in a brick fundraising campaign but aren’t sure where to start? Here is a helpful guide to the process that Polar Engraving uses to make sure you have a successful brick fundraiser.
- Polar Engraving recommends starting the process with a free engraved brick sample with your text and clip art. We want to hear all about your project so that we can send you the proper sample that best suits your needs. The personalized brick sample is essential because it provides you with a great tool when presenting your ideas to board members. You can also use this sample to display it at your events, so your donors can see the product. Besides, you have the option to see a mock-up of your engraved brick with our unique brick creator tool.
- Step 2: Once your project is approved, you’ll fill out our donor website order form in a fillable PDF format. Based on your provided information, we will create a free personalized website to help collect donations or orders for your brick fundraiser. The form is straightforward and includes questions like how you’d prefer to receive payments and the pricing you’d like to set for the bricks you’re selling.
- A dedicated marketing specialist will be assigned to your organization to review your information and create your personalized website. Once the site is ready, you’ll receive an email with your login details. Our online management system allows you to easily access all your orders in one place and efficiently manage and track incoming brick donations.
- As soon as your website is completed, we’ll also provide a customized brochure at no extra cost. This brochure is another way to reach potential donors who prefer not to go online and use a website. You’ll receive it via email in two formats: a print-ready PDF and an editable Word document for easy updates.
- You can officially start fundraising! Post your brick fundraiser website link on all available social media platforms.
-
When you’re ready, you can submit your first brick order to Polar Engraving through our easy-to-use online ordering system. Once your order is submitted, you’ll receive an invoice within 24 hours.
We offer multiple payment options:
-
ACH transfer
-
Credit card
-
Phone payment
-
Check by mail
Production begins after full payment is received. Depending on the time of year, production typically takes 4–8 weeks, plus shipping. Once your engraved bricks ship, you’ll receive a tracking number by email.
For larger orders, bricks are shipped on a pallet via freight delivery, and shipping is always free!
