Top Ideas

What are the advantages?

You may wonder about the advantages of printing ones own raffle tickets online. What is it about custom raffle tickets that make them superior to other forms of fundraising? The first idea to keep in mind is that a raffle can be held in conjunction with any other event. It can literally multiply your fundraising efforts. In fact, UK Raffle and Lottery laws actually make holding a raffle at the same time as another event easier than holding one on its own.

Raffles are a wonderful way to engage the community in your organisation’s efforts. Since the law of the land makes donations the most effective way of obtaining prizes, your raffle forces you to engage with many businesses and individuals. You will achieve greater exposure and create new networks when you hold a raffle.

Of course, selling raffle tickets requires that you engage one on one with your benefactors. This helps to engender good feelings and publicity for your cause. People will remember your smiling sales team, and when you print your own raffle tickets, they will remember your custom logo, too!

Exposure and brand recognition while you earn money? How spectacular is that?

Finally, (for the post–of course I could go on all day about the benefits of printing your own raffle tickets), raffles help you generate excitement. Hopeful expectation is the cherry on top of charity gift-giving. Donating money feels wonderful, and winning prizes feels even better. And that moment between the two–the knowledge that one has done the proper thing, coupled with the hope or reward–that is a special result! Your raffle is a catalyst for wonderful emotions.

So consider how many people you can help with your raffle: your organisation, the people who benefit from your charity, those who partner with you in your efforts, and those who achieve that wonderful sensation resulting from the purchase of a raffle ticket.
