Selling Raffle Tickets helps children learn important skills: presenting themselves in front of adults, the power of persuasion, accounting for money, and more. Encourage each child to reach an appropriate sales goal. Prepare them in advance with scripts explaining who they are, what their school stands for, and what programs the money will support.

You may choose to have two levels of Raffle Tickets: a larger prize with more expensive ticket for adults, and a lower level that most children will be able to purchase with pocket money. For instance, for twenty-five or fifty pence, you could raffle off lunch with a favourite teacher or administrator, or some other coveted prize. Do your students like to make announcements over the PA? Eat pizza and ice cream at lunch? Leave class for some undirected computer time? Offer the prize that will motivate the children.

Offer prizes for those children who sell the most Raffle Tickets to grown-ups. Turn your prize draw into a math lesson: let them keep track of earnings, perhaps with a large graph shaped like a thermometer. Announce the winners in a public assembly and let their peers cheer on their accomplishment.

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!

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.

You want to make a mint, and a successful raffle will put you on the path to success. You’ve chosen the perfect design: perhaps elegant, perhaps playful. Either way, you know printing the right image will catch the eye of your target audience. Striking tickets sell more.

Of course, you haven’t neglected to proofread your tickets before printing!

You may have chosen to have them stapled into booklets, which will make your sales team’s lives that much easier. Everything stays neat and orderly with this feature. When you print your own raffle tickets, raffle ticket books are only one of the many benefits.

Do you have a professional sales team? They’ll have so much more to be enthusiastic about when they see the lovely design you’ve chosen to represent your organization and your cause. This helps you sell more.

If you haven’t a professional sales team, who will sell your tickets for you? May I suggest the most adorable of all salespeople? I refer, of course, to small children. Who can resist the allure of a child who’s painstakingly memorized a sales pitch in aid of a great cause?

Target your audience. Where will you sell? In the City Centre? At arts events? Door to door? Who are your patrons. Determine where they are and bring your raffle to them!

Whoever you are, whatever your cause, if you’ve found worthy prizes, printed your own custom tickets, and taken the time to sell them, you’re well on your way to financial success!
