Ready to print your own raffle tickets? If you’re uncertain, the advent of filling out your raffle ticket template is the perfect opportunity to determine whether or not you have taken care of the necessary details. An online ticket template, which prompts you to fill in all the required details, can help you identify any missing information.
Finding the prizes is your first step. Since you must identify the three largest prizes in your draw directly on the raffle ticket, it’s best to take care of this issue prior to considering the other details. What can you offer? The more attractive the prize, the more raffle tickets you can sell.
You must also identify the time and place of the actual prize draw. Don’t have this information? Figure it out immediately! If you do not already have a venue in mind, perhaps you can make a deal with someone who does have a space (such as a the owner of your local pub) and would appreciate the extra business your crown might draw. Choose a time and place.
How about prices? Typically, you’ll want to sell your raffle tickets for one or two pounds. Work out the sums: how many tickets will you need to sell at various prices to reach your sales goal.
Finally, if your raffle is to require a licence, go get it! This information must be printed on the body of the ticket, so you’ll need the licence number prior to ticket printing.
Review the information. If you’ve filled in all the blanks and it all makes sense, then you’re ready to print your own raffle tickets online and start selling!

How will you help your supporters get away while you sell more Raffle Tickets??
The most popular types of prize draws are those awarding holidays and vehicles. Are you ready to capitalise on this information? Indeed, these are big-ticket items, but with proper preparation, you can organise and manage a big-ticket prize draw. It takes only some advance planning, some networking, and some hard work and you’ll be well on your way to selling more Raffle Tickets.
Some organisations have the funds or the connections to pull this sort of promotion together effortlessly, but most of us will need to think about it. Who do we know in a position to donate our large prizes? Travel agents? Collectors? Do you know the owners of a car dealership, a bed and breakfast, or a company that offers day trip adventures? Begin by making up lists. Don’t think merely of the people you know. Consider their friends as well. If someone in your organisation has a rich, philanthropist uncle or an old university chum who collects antique vehicles, put them on your list, too.
Now, create your pitch. In many cases, it’s helpful to write your script down first. Remember to include:
- You name
- The name of your organisation
- Your group’s mission statement
- The specific intention for the fund you will raise
- A specific donation request
Do your research. Find phone numbers and contact information for everyone you wish to reach. When you do reach them, speak politely but confidently. Don’t feel any shame in asking for a donation: you are working for a really worthy cause, and people will be happy to help you out! Consider how happy you’ll be when you’ve secured your large donations and can get down to the happy business of printing your own Raffle Tickets online. It will be easy to choose a design that reflects the nature of the prizes you offer, and those prizes will be spectacular.

When you purchase customised Raffle Tickets, you expect high-resolution printing.
At home, you might spend fifty pounds on a toner cartridge so your child can print out full-colour images of his favourite cartoon character or holiday snaps of the friends she made over the summer. Perhaps you remember the daisy wheels and dot matrices of the past, but today’s printers need to be fast and sharp or they end up in the rubbish, just another jumble of plastic and electronics that’s outlived its usefulness. And if that’s why you expect from your home printer, how much more ought to be accomplished by a professional quality machine?
Your Raffle Tickets, professionally printed, should look even better than anything you can print at home, providing your prize draw with that air of perfection you want to bring to all your endeavors. Sharp lines, bright colours, glossy finish. These tickets are the emissaries of your organisation. No matter what you’re raffling off, or what text and images you’ve employed, the printing on your Raffle Tickets should be all business.
And under the printing, the paper on which your tickets are printed ought to be all business, too. Never thought much of paper? We measure papers grams per square meter, or gsm. Your standard paper, the paper stocked in your office, used in most office applications is between 75 gsm and 120 gsm, whereas your durable business cards are most likely 175 gsm. When you print your Raffle Tickets, you should expect coloured card stock to weight in at 175 gsm, with 165 gsm for white card stock.
Smooth matte finish or semi-gloss? It’s your choice. Either way, when you choose professionally printed Raffle Tickets, they should look as if they’ve been printed by professionals. Read your printer’s website and find out what you’re about to receive.

You can turn your prize draw into a complicated and multi-layered affair, or you can keep it simple. If you fancy an easy, breezy fundraiser that fills your coffers without filling your time, it’s time to get back to the basics. What do you need to hold a successful prize draw? Interesting prizes, effective Raffle Tickets, supporters to buy them, and a distribution method to sell them.
- Prizes: You know your supporters best. They may be willing to take a 50 p chance on a small prize: a new football, for instance, or a skein of yarn, or a gift certificate to a popular independent book shop. Perhaps they will pay money to gamble on the possibility of a free lunch with someone in your organisation, or a lesson on something your administration may teach.
- Raffle Tickets: So easy to print online! You choose the perfect design, enter your event details into a ticket template, and click on a few buttons. Your Raffle Tickets are professionally printed, with perforated stubs, lines to collect customer information, individual numbering, and other security features.
- Supporters: Get the word out, in your print or email newsletter, on websites and web forums, at local meetings and other brick-and-mortar events, through local media, and with printed Posters or Fliers. Don’t forget phone trees, word of mouth, and door to door sales.
- Distribution: Take advantage of one of many online sites that sell Raffle Tickets for you. If you already have a sales team, offer them extra prizes and let them do their job. Or, incentivise small children with appropriate rewards and let them sell. Sell Raffle Tickets on your own website, at meetings, or at summer festivals. Wherever people are, that’s where you should be selling Raffle Tickets.

Perhaps you’re a member of an environmental organisation, or perhaps you simply love Mother Earth and want to do all you can to preserve her sweetness for future generations. How can you reduce your prize draw’s footprint and communicate your values?
Prizes
The easiest way to show your supporters that you care is to offer them prizes that offer a solution. Perhaps you can find a company willing to donate some solar panels in exchange for a great deal of publicity if you’re holding a large raffle and expect to attract many donors. Or, for smaller prize draws, perhaps a simple compost bin, or a homemade solar oven. Ask a contractor to offer his or her services evaluating a home for energy efficiency.
Printing
Choose Raffle Tickets printed on recycled paper, or ensure that used Raffle Tickets will be recycled later. Find a printing company that uses environmentally sustainable processes such as recycling used printer cartridges, depending on alternative energy sources, and relying on environmentally friendly shipping companies.
Publicity
The Internet is quite green; it takes very little energy, especially if you’re using a newer computer. While you may not want to forgo traditional print publicity entirely, use all your online resources for the best coverage and promotion. Send email newsletter, post links to forums, and spread the word with social networking. Be sure to scan all your posters and upload the images. Put your website to work!

Spring is still a long way off. In the absence of the sun’s warming presence, why not warm the cockles of your heart with a flowery show? Summon up the presence of warmer days with a floral-themed Raffle Ticket. Just print out a stack of Rose Raffle Tickets and your team can start selling flowers that never wilt and have no need of water. It’s the smart way to brighten those cold, dark days.
A Red or Yellow Rose Raffle Ticket is a clever set-up for a Valentine’s Day prize draw, but it also suits environmental organisations, florists, Mother’s Day events, tea and garden parties, or any celebration that anticipates the vernal equinox and the verdant growth that follows. Whenever you want to rejoice in all that is lovely in the world, consider the intricate beauty of the rose, reproduce in faithful, high-resolution colour.
With designs this lovely, you may find yourself planning a Festival of Roses simply for the pleasure of sharing these beautiful roses with your supporters! Even with frosty winds and snow in the air, warm flowery designs anticipate the coming thaw. Can’t you smell the sweetness?

You don’t have to settle for second best!
A roll of Raffle Tickets may be a good, last-minute option, but it lacks the pizazz of a brightly coloured Raffle Ticket with an original design. Some organisers never consider the latter option, however, because they believe the cost is too dear, far out of their fundraising budget. But, in fact, spectacular Raffle Tickets don’t have to be expensive. You can purchase cheap Raffle Tickets that are also splendid Raffle Tickets.
How much would you imagine you might pay if you wanted to print your own Raffle ticket? I’m referring, of course, to full-colour, full-size ticket, perforated, individually numbered, with barcodes, and personalised with your own event information. For a small run of tickets, the cost would run to approximately six pence per ticket. If you print your own Raffle Tickets in bulk, you could pay as little as three p.!
You needn’t compromise on quality. Not at all. You may choose a beautiful image, add all the details you wish to include, and even upload your own custom images for a completely unique Raffle Ticket, and you will find that your order does not break the bank. Cheap, wonderful Raffle Tickets for your upcoming prize draw. Imagine that!
If you’re holding a prize draw, money is probably an issue. You want to make more and spend less. Bright, bold, eye-catching designs are simply easier to sell. So lay out a little money and make a lot of money. Just watch those returns roll in.

Who can resist children’s charities?
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.
