There are so many variations on the ugly Christmas sweater theme you can use to promote your business, organization or family activities this season. Here are a few ideas.
Fund-Raising
Is your group or organization raising money during the holidays? Food banks, Toys for Tots, help for the homeless, Make A Wish Foundation, angel trees, and Operation Christmas Spirit for military families are just a few examples.
1800Tshirts.com can help you create an Ugly Christmas Sweater or other holiday design that can be used as a thank-you gift for a donation or a fund-raising item in and of itself. We also can help you create a dedicated website where supporters can buy shirts with little effort on your part. We do all the work and send you a check for the shirts sold after the fund-raiser ends.
Create a Christmas design that includes your logo or event that people will proudly wear during the holiday season to identify with the cause and show their support.
Road Races
Do you have a December 5K or longer distance event coming up? Offering your race shirt with an Ugly Christmas Sweater themed design makes the garment a memorable keeper that runners will want to wear every holiday season as they train or run other races.
In addition, running clubs often have holiday parties or special group runs that are more fun with matching seasonal shirts to wear. T-shirts and sweats go perfectly with Christmas leggings that many runners will wear in December.
In 2019, the Brazos Bend 100-mile trail run, held at the state park in Needville, Texas, featured an Ugly Christmas sweater design as its official race shirt.
Whether or not the race offers an official shirt with a Christmas theme, runners love to dress up for the occasion. Above is Katrina Judd, Hurricane, Utah, sporting her Ugly Christmas style outfit for a half marathon she ran last year.
All In The Family
The holidays often serve as an annual reunion for many and what better way to promote unity and togetherness than to have everyone wearing an Ugly Christmas Sweater sweatshirt? Even if families will not gather this year due to the pandemic, it’s still a bonding activity to have family members wearing festive shirts for photos, videos and Zoom calls. Matching shirt photos are also great for the annual photo Christmas card.
Another reason families invest in holiday sweatshirts is for safety. If a family goes to a holiday theme park such as “Six Flags Holiday in the Park,” it makes it easier to keep everyone together with matching shirts. The same is true for ski resorts and other outdoor activities. Although holiday theme parks are mostly drive-through this year, it still adds to the fun to have special shirts for the occasion.
Sports Teams
While fewer teams are active this year, not all sports have been shut down, especially outdoor sports. Both high school and elite teams may still be holding tournaments or end-of-the-year activities where a holiday T-shirt can be worn for practice, travel or get-togethers. They also can make a great gift for team members.
Emergency Medical Services
While needing to call an ambulance or go to the hospital over the holidays is not fun, it is still uplifting to see your medical staff dressed in festive matching shirts. Consider creating a special shirt for employees to wear in December that will also serve as a keepsake for them after the month is over.
Elementary Schools
Nothing builds unity and teamwork better than matching shirts. Elementary schools may have holiday fundraising events, Christmas fairs or other activities in the month of the December. Having Ugly Christmas Sweater shirts for all the students just adds to the fun and holiday spirit.
High School Organizations
Often high schools are involved in holiday parades, special football games, and other activities to promote the Christmas spirit. If you want to create special memories for your high school students, consider letting Envision create a fun, festive shirt for the holidays for any of the many groups and clubs at your school.
Local Business
Many local businesses decorate their windows and offices for the holidays, and it’s an added plus to have staff in matching festive garb. No matter what type of business your company is, there’s an Ugly Christmas Sweater design that would be a great morale booster, and let your customers feel the holiday spirit when visiting your location.
Retail
If you own a retail business that sells apparel, consider designing a custom Ugly Christmas Sweater shirt to offer in your store. It could be a name drop with your town and state; it might mention a landmark; it could be a funny saying; or capitalize on some other trend or happening going on in your area. You might sell them in a brick-and-mortar location or online.
If you like the idea, but are not sure which direction to go design wise, the friendly staff at 1800TShirts will be happy to offer guidance and assistance to come up with something that will delight and inspire. Searching websites like Pinterest can also be a goldmine for ideas you can adapt for your needs.
These are only a few of the many ways you can capitalize on an Ugly Christmas Sweater theme. For a constant stream of fun, fresh ideas for all of your decorated apparel and promotional product needs, be sure to visit 1800TShirts social media pages on a regular basis.
