Inexpensive Efficient Decorating With Lighted LED Branches

In the current economic downturn, fund raising has become more difficult than ever. At the same time, the need for charitable activities has increased. Filling the gap can be a problem, but a killer fundraiser is still one of the best ways to solicit donations. The secret is doing it without spending a lot. Skimping on food, drink and infrastructure is not the way to go, since cheap events attract cheap donations.

A more productive strategy is to find ways to make a big impact without spending a lot. Reuse things. Equipment from the last event may still work for this one, perhaps with a coat of paint or a bit of applied decoration. Use light. Changing light bulbs or shades for a different color can give a venue a whole new look. Inexpensive and reusable LED units can turn entire walls into glowing colored backdrops.

For a more traditional look, consider adding light to your floral arrangements with equipment like Batteryoperatedcandles lighted branches. Make the food part of the decor. Brides have done this for decades, using an elaborate cake as the centerpiece of a wedding reception. It works just as well for other events. Just set the table in plain view and light it to emphasize the refreshments. Staging an effective fundraiser without going broke is mostly a matter of creativity. Use what is available and make good use of light, and attendees will enjoy the event and, hopefully, open their wallets wide.

This was a great post and so true. I’ve been really getting into re-purposing lately and love getting great ideas online. I purchased some lighted branches and LED lights from Christmas Lights, Etc and they are definitely going to be used for many future events.

Those branches are just beautiful. I’ve bookmarked the Battery Operated Candles site; it’s a great clearinghouse for this type of product. I already use several battery candles around the apt and would love to add some branches too. They provide such a lovely ambiance, don’t they?

I love the way the lighted branches look! Battery operated candles are so much better now that I have 3 cats….. can’t have an open flame around them!
