We sell 1,000 Breast cancer awareness lapel pins at .55 each. $550 total.<\/p>\n<p>Our biggest competitor sells 1,000 of a similar pin for $6.95 each. They donate 10% of purchase price to some Breast cancer cause.<\/p>\n<p>If you are really concerned about our donations, we will sell you 1000 pins for the same price as our competitors. Just $6950 for the order. If it makes you feel better, we will then contribute 90% of the order total to the cause of your choice.<\/p>\n<p>We are still making more on the pins than if we had sold them to you at the regular price.<\/p>\n<p>We suggest you order the pins from us, and then donate $5000 to your cause.<\/p>\n<p>This is rough math, but as horrible as it seems, the company selling at $6 plus per pin is still making $5 more per pin than we are.<\/p>\n<p>Understand, we do sell breast cancer awareness pins and many other Breast Cancer Awareness promotional products at a small profit. But, an apples to apples comparison shows that we are not the exploiters of the market.<\/p>\n<p>ImprintItems.com shows 6 pages of Breast cancer awareness items at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imprintitems.com\/awarenessitems\/breastcancer\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.imprintitems.com\/awarenessitems\/breastcancer<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have in-stock ready to ship today 3 products: breast cancer ribbon pins, rhinestone pink awareness pins, and silicone rubber bracelets of our exclusive design.<\/p>\n<p>Further, other Breast cancer awareness items, as with the old standbys, can be imprinted with your logo or message.
