Volunteers are the heart and soul of any nonprofit organization. They put their energy into drumming up support and helping achieve results. To further your cause at a promotional event, it’s important to distinguish these valuable team members from the crowd with custom shirts. Here are a few tips to help you place a T-shirt order.

How to Order Custom Shirts for Your Event Volunteers

1. Consider a Color Scheme

Think about your event’s theme. If it’s tied to a specific holiday, for example, you can select colors that resonate with that day. Colors matter because they help set your volunteers apart, so maintain some uniformity across the board. Those working at a registration table should wear one shade, and those working on stage can wear another.

2. Create a Pertinent Design

Use the opportunity to design a custom shirt that shares important information about your event, such as your website address and phone number. Include the function’s sponsor logos on the back to bring recognition for their support. Label the shirts with “volunteer” to indicate the wearers work for the event.

3. Order Enough Event Shirts

You might have 25 volunteers for your event, but it’s best to add a few more shirts to your order to be safe. Someone may require another size, for example, or might forget to bring their shirt with them on the event day. If you plan to sign up volunteers on the spot, that’s another reason to keep a few additional shirts handy. Also, ask everyone for their shirt size when they sign up to volunteer so there are no issues later.
