Quick answer
School business and enterprise programs sometimes have students design, market and sell a custom wristband as a mini social enterprise, learning real commercial skills while supporting a chosen cause.
A social enterprise project gives students a hands-on lesson in business, and a wristband is a simple, low-cost product for them to design and sell.
Why wristbands suit student business programs
A wristband is affordable enough for students to produce and sell at a profit, giving them a real product to run a small business project around.
Learning real business skills
Students can practise budgeting, pricing, marketing and sales by running their own small wristband enterprise, rather than just studying the theory.
