Strategy & Marketing
4EverBricks art staff prepares a free, custom order form for you. A short five minute call to discuss your program is all we need to start.
We will prepare as many drafts as necessary to assure your complete happiness with the final product. When complete, we will provide a PDF file for you to duplicate an distribute to your donors.
You can send them by email, fax, mail – whichever way is easiest for you!
We have also developed an Excel spreadsheet to allow you to input or proof your bricks prior to production.
You know your donors and their giving habits the best. Every organization and project is unique. Some of our clients charge only $40 for an engraved brick and others charge thousands of dollars for the same size brick.
To maximize your fundraiser’s profitability, we suggest the following: offer donors multiple sizes at different price points, this will give everyone the opportunity to participate.
Offer clip art, logos or custom artwork option at a premium prices.
Offer the larger sized bricks as “Corporate Pavers” to business donors and include their business’s logo. This is great advertising and community awareness for them.
Please give us a call if you would like more suggestions! We will always be there for you.
Installation
1. Determine the square feet (length x width) of the area you want to pave.
2. Estimate the number of pavers needed: For 4″x8″ pavers ó 4.5 pavers per sq. ft. Add 5% extra for chipped or broken pavers.
We recommend contacting a local professional for your brick installation. Most organizations use a sand bed installation for the bricks.
This way blank bricks can be easily removed and replaced with engraved ones allowing you to continue your fundraising campaign for years to come.
Not all variability is due to manufacturers using different sizes.
Some is due to variability in the manufacturing process.
In the modern specification, the ‘T1’ tolerance (the least stringent) allows ±3mm in thickness, ±4mm in width, and ±6mm in length. Historically, much more variation can be found.
