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!
