Athletics are a billion-dollar industry—providing entertainment all over the globe to millions of fans. But when managing a sports team, you also have to manage the crowd that follows. Whether you want to please fans that are looking for wristbands for teams or ensure the safety and security of the crowds, wristbands have been a reliable way of doing so for decades. Here are the top 8 ways to use them today:
Admissions
Not only for games, but also for special events like exclusive events for team sponsors or community nights. Vinyl and Tyvek® wristbands can be fully customized with your team’s graphics and message, with barcodes to ensure validity. RFID bands can serve as a ticket or a cashless payment option. Both are memorable ways to encourage social media engagement!
Identify VIPs
Whether it is a team sponsor, season ticket holder, or a suite/box owner, let them know they’re important by giving them a customized wristband. It also helps your staff easily identify them to ensure that they have a great fan experience. Cloth wristbands are a great and durable option for a long-lasting bracelet for the VIPs, or our selection of holographic wristbands for a unique memento.
Groups
Easily identify a group that made a large ticket purchase to guarantee they have a fun fan experience. Wristbands are an easy way to monitor access, and make certain that resources such as specialty food and beverage purchases are only consumed by individuals in the group.
Concessions
Cash tag wristbands can be used for food or beverage sales at exclusive events. With comfortable and durable construction, these wristbands can allow you to easily monitor sales. Highlighting a new vendor’s food or beverage? These wristbands are available in a variety of tab options (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 10) helping monitor samples!
Manage access
Help security make their jobs easier with wristbands. Make sure no one enters restricted areas such as suites/boxes, locker rooms or offices. Wristbands such as Tyvek®, vinyl, cloth, and plastic, are non-transferrable and completely customizable. Lanyards can also be used to monitor restricted areas only for badge holders such as employees or members of the media.
Community outreach efforts/fundraising
Show that your team cares about their community by selling custom cause/awareness silicone or cloth wristbands for fundraising or awareness efforts. Using wristbands for fundraising has been a proven way to rally support for any cause! In addition, give out wristbands for team members as a way to show pride and unity.
Giveaways
Silicone wristbands are an inexpensive giveaway product that can be easily customized and promote your team’s brand with its biggest fans. Giveaways are fantastic to show your appreciation to season ticket holders, fans during halftimes or even kids club members with a fun keepsake of their favorite team!
Merchandise
No matter the season, fans can wear your team’s logo proud! Let your fans show their team support by selling custom silicone wristbands at your team store.
