Whether you’re selling Raffle Tickets for your upcoming prize draw or engaged in other forms of fundraising, staying connected with staff, donors, and volunteers is imperative. A connected sales force is an engaged sales force, and yours will perform better if they know that you’re paying attention. How do you communicate?
Most everyone has a cell phone, making it easier than ever to ring up and ask after the numbers. Keep your calls short, to the point, and unobtrusive. If you reach voice mail, do the same.
Easy for you, convenient for them. You can add as much information as you possibly need. Downside: easily overlooked or ignored.
For important information, you may want to splurge on a stamp. Getting an actual piece of printed paper in the mail is something of an event these days. It’s more likely to be read, less likely to be lost.
Maintain an active community of volunteers by creating an online space where they can post their questions, concerns, and best wishes for the rest of the group and interact virtually.
Of course, your best bet is to ask people how they would prefer to be contacted. Some people adore the phone, and others turn off their ringers and hate to answer. Some people feel electronic communication is too impersonal, and others are far more likely to participate if the action takes place on FaceBook.
Organising your Raffle Ticket sales team is merely a matter of keeping the lines open!
