Custom labels for addressing envelopes are a great way to brand all of your communications so that all correspondence is immediately recognized as coming from an institution of excellence. You can also include stickers in with correspondence to encourage alumni to affix them to everything from the laptops to the automobile bumpers. This is how custom labels can be used to invoke school pride.

There's really nothing to it, and the investment is minimal for the potential return.

Many students, faculty, and alumni would love to have their own custom labels emblazoned with their alma mater's logo next to their names and addresses. Thus, you can sell custom labels to this well-targeted audience to raise funds for your school or organization. Or, you can take the approach many other organizations have already tried with great success – simply send alumni custom labels for free with a request for donation. The labels are cheap, and research has shown that this is a highly effective direct-mail marketing strategy when correctly applied. As you can see, custom labels are a great way to elicit school pride as well as private donations to fund school, team, band, club and organization activities.
