YSI–Bands.


We had wanted to sell bands as part of our project from the very
beginning, we had seen other organisations use them as a way to promote their
message and we saw that it worked very well for them. We emailed many websites
we thought to be Irish and got back many quotes. After further research we were
disappointed to find that they do not make wristbands anywhere in Ireland, The
most ‘Irish made’ we could find them was you could order wristbands from abroad
through Irish-run websites. Many websites were much too expensive for us to buy
from as we had already spent a lot of the money in our account on printing
booklets. We found one website that had the perfect design for
us, and they were very cheap (roughly 0.20c per wristband if we sold all 600.)
We decided to buy from these. We emailed a man called Ben and designed our  bands (green, debossed ‘ Be Irish Buy Irish ’ on the front and ‘ YSI ’13 ’ on the back. We payed with the school
credit card (under the supervision of our principle.) A couple of days later the
bands arrived and they were perfect. We decided to sell them for €1 each and they were very popular because of this. Anyone in our class who wanted to sell them had the opportunity and
everyone was so helpful.  We are now in the middle of selling our bands and they are selling very
well.
