lil_angel Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Oldies Club are always looking into new things we could buy to help us fundraise. Below is one of the items we have come across but we arent sure whether they would sell or if they did how much people would be willing to pay. opinions please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 can they be engraved with name and address etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_angel Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 They can be purchased from other companies engraved but as dont have the facility so they would be blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greygal Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 That's cute! You could only engrave on the blank side obviously which wouldn't give a lot of room. Probably only Owners Name, Phone number and maybe 'microchipped' would fit on in a readable size, I would think. How much are they from other companies which include the engraving?

Moonbladez Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) I want one!! But as already said further up, it could only really fit your surname and moobile number on. Or maybe a medical condition? But that is sooooooo cute! The dog on the front looks like my Spirit, and hes joining the Oldies Club this week as he hits 7 year old. Wonder if I can get him to model glasses... Edited June 22, 2010 by Moonbladez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_angel Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 The companies that sell them with free engraving give a price of around £7. Its just a fun tag. I bought a tag for Louie once thats attached to his harness and it says I Love Cuddles on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a tag for Louie once thats attached to his harness and it says I Love Cuddles on it The reason I asked is because I have an engraving machine (proper one not a hand one) so if you get some and send to me I could engrave the backs for free and send on to people who requested one and paid the OC for it. As I said previously though I would think only Surname and Tel. No would fit on at a sensible, readable size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greygal Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Well I guess individuals could have anything they wanted on it only restricted by the space to engrave at a sensible/readable size. I use basic circular metal 1" tags for my own dogs and engrave 4 or 5 lines with max. 12 letters across the widest part. The engraving is done with a diamond cutter and is readable for years on tags worn every day by my various dogs over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura-Anne Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I dont know how expensive it would be to make a fun tag, but if it were I agree it would be better with like your standard slogans and the web page. You always get people looking at your tags in general so its like a constant advertisement lol. I know id get them for mine if it would spread awareness and could sell them where you's sell the dog jackets/jumpers etc. But suppose that all depends on how much it would cost to get made up. Maybe im a bit tight with money but i tend to spend about a fiver or less on my id tags which hang from a splitter. I pay more for my indigo tags obviously.

olivea Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 What about trolley tokens??? I have no idea how much they cost to make but they usually sell at £1 or £2 each so they can't be that expensive. I know some of the other dog/animal charities sell them.

Whizzie Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) You could have a look here http://http://www.carefromcontraband.co.uk/catalogue/Animal-Charity-Products/Smaller quantities might be possible if you ask. This company are very helpful & I'd recommend them for fundraising products. We used them a lot at the hospice. They usually have more products than appear on the website so worth a phone call for more info Edited August 7, 2010 by Whizzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
