Dreaming of sugarplums? Decking the halls? And what about all the lovely packages under the tree?
The season is upon us! Carolers, a light dusting of snow, a jolly old elf, and presents galore! In December, our thoughts turn to giving and receiving. It’s the most productive time of the year for charities and nonprofits, as everyone digs deep into their pockets, knowing that St. Nick is watching to see if you’ve been naughty or nice! Most of us find our returns increasing in December. More folks are willing to volunteer, more folks are willing to donate, and everyone gives a little more of themselves, thinks a little more of others.
Now is the time to order your Christmas Raffle Tickets! Remind your supporters of the needs of those less fortunate while helping them feel a little more fortunate themselves. When you print your own Raffle Tickets, it’s simple to get your message across.
Hark! The herald angels sing! Spread the spirit of the season with solemn designs, sacred designs, or festive designs. Whatever your organisation needs to succeed, you can find a Raffle Ticket to express your purpose.
Add a little colour this Christmas! Print your own Christmas Raffle Tickets online and start doing more for your cause.

Who can resist children’s charities?
Even the toughest among us cannot help but turn our heads when the cause is to support a children’s hospital or underprivileged youth. So make the most of your advantage! If you’re raising funds for the folks who have the most fun, let your Raffle Tickets reflect that. Choose a design with a strong sense of fun.
Something Sweet: If your kids are the most adorable things you know, shovel on the sugar with some candy-coated fundraising. Just find the images that appeals to your sweet tooth. Making money has never been so delicious!
Something Savory: They may have trouble eating it without taking a meat sauce bath, but that just adds to the fun. Smarten up your charity efforts with a Spaghetti-themed Raffle Ticket, or search for other food-related fun!
Something Sporty: For your active would-be footballers, try something from the athletic collection. Football is just the beginning! Raffle Tickets reflect a wide variety of interests. Whatever your game, you’ll find something to liven up the fund drive.
Children remind us that the world was meant to be enjoyed. When the stress and strain of fundraising starts to bring you down, perk yourself up with some seriously fun designs for your next prize draw. Make it a raffle to remember with unforgettable Raffle Tickets.

Name your charity.
Surely, it’s a cause in which you believe. You are willing to discuss the importance of these beliefs with friends and families. How important is it to you? Have you the ability to discuss it with complete strangers? If you have faith in the rectitude of your beliefs, it’s quite acceptable to share them with those who wish to listen.
Raffle Tickets are a brilliant method of getting ones foot in the door to open up a dialogue in regard to ones favourite charity. You might feel uncomfortable approaching neighbors or those whom you are not well acquainted simply to ask whether they have a moment to listen to your impassioned plea for school funding, medical research, or wildlife conservation. Arm yourself with a book of Raffle Tickets, however, and you’ll find your confidence increased a thousand fold. Now you have something to offer, something people will surely want.
When you print your own Raffle Tickets, you have the option of choosing a design that perfectly represents your beliefs. Ribbon tickets, for instance, in a variety of colors, are an easy way to express your beliefs. A wide variety of nature-themed Raffle Tickets suits environmental and outdoor causes. Tickets with designs suitable for children are a proper choice for educational fundraising.
Now, having printed your own Raffle Tickets, it should be much easier to initiate conversations with strangers about your charity. Rather than saying, “Have you a moment to talk about slash and burn agriculture in Brazil?” you can begin with a more appealing pitch: “Would you like to win a new car? If you buy a Raffle Ticket, you’ll be helping to save the rain forest!” From there, it should be simple to explain how your organisation’s work is beneficial to the world.
So start spreading the word today! Make an investment by printing your own Raffle Tickets and watch it pay off in revenue and greater public understanding and sympathy!

As you most likely know
UK raffle laws allow for certain types of small raffle without council oversight. However, large prize draws always require proper licensing. This may involve the filling out of forms and the paying of fees.
Of course, having gone to such trouble to begin, you really feel compelled to do the job right: in for a penny, in for a pound, you know! In that case, you’ve surely selected some lovely, high-quality designs and are planning to print your own Raffle Tickets.
And having gone so far as to print your own Raffle Tickets, indeed you want to sell every single ticket and recoup your investment. You need to work smarter, not harder.
Raffle Tickets sell themselves when they find their receptive audience. Clearly, your legwork can have a big impact, but you can only be in one place at a time. The solution: matching publicity materials to advertise for you!
Many Raffle Tickets can be paired with matching Posters and Flyers, so you can advertise your draw with minimum fuss and maximum style. If you prize draw occurs in conjunction with a larger event, you can even choose to match your Admission Tickets and Invitations to your Raffle Tickets.
The power of print can work to your advantage! Find a proper design and combine it with the proper materials and you’ll soon witness the strength of superior publicity!

Summer is acummin in!
And with the long, hot days and short, sweltering nights, there are holidays to be taken! If you are a fundraiser for a nonprofit, educational, entertainment, or business organisation, you can make the most of the season by capitalising on your customers’ and supporters’ love of travel. Whether you are simply trying to raise more money, or holding a prize draw along with a large party or gathering, consider the appeal of winning a free holiday.
City dwellers and country folk alike will be willing to take a chance—several chances, perhaps—on the possibility of a lovely getaway to an exotic location. If you can persuade your benefactors to donate such a commodity, you’re well on your way to earning more money with your seasonal raffle.
Consider the image below:
What emotions does that sun-soaked vista evoke in your mind? You can take advantage of the romance of a tropical paradise when you offer beach-themed Raffle Tickets to cement the concept of winning a free fantasy holiday in the minds of your customers. Wouldn’t you love to be stretched out on golden sands, beside azure waters, beneath swaying palms? I promise you, it’s quite a compelling thought.
So, make the most of the upcoming summer season. Start with a holiday-themed raffle draw and give them what they them want!

What are you looking for?
If you’re worried about fund raising with raffle tickets, relax. It’s not foolproof, but you can handle it with a little advance preparation. Even before you start printing and selling your raffle tickets, you need to know what you’re getting into.
Short on prizes? Run a cash raffle starting with next to no capital. Just set your ticket price high enough and turn a small investment into a huge return. I would usually earmark about 30% of minimum ticket sales for prizes, leaving my organization with most of the profits. You’ll still give thousands of pounds back to your investors!
If you’ve got some good connections in the community, you can ask local businesses to donate prizes. Spa days, restaurant gift certificates, or small handicrafts let you help area merchants with more exposure while you earn more money. For charitable fund raising, most business owners are happy to help out. You can even print their business name right on the raffle ticket!
Of course, if you have big donors, you can raffle off the big-ticket items, the tellies and the new cars. Or, if a celebrity favors your cause, you could be the lucky one to raffle off an iconic dress or autographed artefact.
Raffle prize possibilities are everywhere. Keep looking!

I confess…
…that I love the idea of raffles. What you’re selling when you sell raffle tickets is, essentially, hope. It might look like you’re selling a brightly-coloured bit of paper, or a chance to win a guitar signed by Pete Townshend, or an all-expenses paid trip to Majorca, but really, what you’ve got there in that little stapled booklet or fat roll of tickets is possibility and anticipation. That’s why raffle tickets basically sell themselves, especially if you’re selling them for a charity. What could be better than donating a few quid to a good cause and getting to carry a slip of hope around in your pocket for a couple weeks?
Maybe you win a big screen HDTV. Most likely you don’t. The important part is the thrill of the expectation. That’s why I would always try to find the right raffle ticket. If the big prize were an island getaway, I would want a luscious picture of tropical palms on the raffle ticket, to remind people to dream big. If the prize were a new car, you can guess what kind of design I would look for. Or, if I wanted to raise money for an important cause like breast cancer research, a pink ribbon ticket would be a reminder not only of the possibility of winning a raffle prize, but also the possibility of helping to find a cure.
That’s the main reason you want to customise your raffle tickets rather than buying generic tickets. You can find a design that suits your needs and a ticket template that lets you remind patrons what they’re really buying.
So, until next time, keep your hopes up!
