I’ve said it before: Kids make the best sales team.
If you’re selling Raffle Tickets, there’s nothing like a pack of adorable moppets prowling the city centre, offering chances at your upcoming prize draw for 50 p. They are simply irresistible to a certain clientele, especially when they’ve memorized their speech about how all contributions will go to build the new youth center, where children like them will receive homework help, athletic training, and encouragement to stay in school and stay off drugs.
It’s true that many children have short attention spans. If you have a number of them at your disposal, you’ll want to keep them motivated. Let them understand how important their work is. Be sure they know how they are helping, who they are helping, and how much you appreciate their help. And then, offer them a reward. Perhaps it’s a reward for the entire group, or for those who meet their sales quota, or only for your top sellers. Any way you arrange, be sure they understand what’s at stake.
Rewards need not set you back any more than a few quid. Most children will willingly work for:
- A slice of pizza
- Some ice cream
- A couple song downloads
- The chance to be part of a group
- Small toys like collectible trading cards
- Posters of pop stars or actors
- Funky pencils
- T-shirts
Or better yet, ask them what small prize would keep them on track!
If possible, ask for their input when choosing the design. Indeed, if you are not terribly computer literate, that tyke who’s always glued to the screen may be very helpful as you print your own Raffle Tickets online. However you can get them involved, do so.
If children are a part of your charity effort, include them and watch their influence help your organisation take flight!
