At the height of the season, summer can feel like an endless joyride, but it’s already time to start planning your end-of-summer celebration, and, if you fancy adding a little extra money to the operating budget, it’s time to start planning your end-of-summer prize draw. Finding a proper Raffle Ticket for the affair is all part of the fun.

Whether you’re planning your parish’s annual Summer Fair or scheduling a golf tournament, you can find the perfect Raffle Ticket to accompany your summer celebration. Create a themed prize draw to go along with your planned activities, or sell tickets for chances to win high interest prizes.

Even small prizes can generate great interest. If you are to sell Raffle Tickets to the sun-and-sand set down at the shore, you may be tempted to invest in big prizes such as Jet Skis or boats, but consider your audience. Perhaps they’d be more willing to purchase less expensive tickets for a chance to win items such as boogie boards or even plastic shovels and pails for their children. Similarly, your golf-themed event could generate a lot of interest if you are to award a complete set of new clubs, but if your cause is a good one, you may get almost the same mileage from a gift basket of new golf balls, tees, and perhaps a visor or novelty coffee mug.

Whatever you choose, do take advantage of summertime’s good vibrations. Find the holiday crowd and capitalise on their good mood and free spending ways and ensure your group’s financial solvency for another season!

Ordering print products off the Internet shouldn’t be scary. In fact, I believe printing your own Raffle Tickets online should be fast, easy, and, thanks to a massive Internet design gallery, enjoyable! I love browsing the images, selecting those that best represent the event I am organising, and marking for later consideration those that might inspire me for future events.

Go ahead. Give it a whirl! Doesn’t that feel good? You don’t have to buy anything…unless you really want to! In that case, it’s simple. Pick a design, fill out the ticket template, choose your shipping method and address, enter your credit card information, and you’re done. UK Ticket Printing does the rest: creates a stack of lovely, customised Raffle Tickets for your upcoming prize draw and ships them out, usually within twenty-four hours! You can start selling sooner when you order online.

Am I going too fast for you? One brilliant aspect to purchasing your Raffle Tickets online is the complete lack of the hard sale. No shop girls will pester you to choose. There’s no pressure, no upselling, no commission. I think the design gallery simply speaks for itself. If you can’t find what you want online, you didn’t really want a Raffle Ticket to begin with.

So don’t be shy! If you’re interested, it’s OK to look. It’s OK to fill out a ticket template and generate your free Raffle Ticket proof. Make up some Upload your organisation’s logo or a photograph of your dog. Create as many proofs as you like. It costs nothing, and you can gain that experience you’ve been lacking. Soon you’ll be a regular pro.

And with the long, hot days and short, sweltering nights, there are holidays to be taken! If you are a fundraiser for a nonprofit, educational, entertainment, or business organisation, you can make the most of the season by capitalising on your customers’ and supporters’ love of travel. Whether you are simply trying to raise more money, or holding a prize draw along with a large party or gathering, consider the appeal of winning a free holiday.

City dwellers and country folk alike will be willing to take a chance—several chances, perhaps—on the possibility of a lovely getaway to an exotic location. If you can persuade your benefactors to donate such a commodity, you’re well on your way to earning more money with your seasonal raffle.

Consider the image below:

What emotions does that sun-soaked vista evoke in your mind? You can take advantage of the romance of a tropical paradise when you offer beach-themed Raffle Tickets to cement the concept of winning a free fantasy holiday in the minds of your customers. Wouldn’t you love to be stretched out on golden sands, beside azure waters, beneath swaying palms? I promise you, it’s quite a compelling thought.

So, make the most of the upcoming summer season. Start with a holiday-themed raffle draw and give them what they them want!

…to make mock-ups of joke raffle tickets online. (Don’t tell!) The templates are really simple to use and I can be as silly as I want to be. For instance, I’ve made tickets to raffle off my flatmates, with all proceeds to benefit the RSPCA. After all, humans are animals and my mates can be uncommonly cruel.

Ticket Printing’s raffle ticket templates are really simple, and basically explain themselves. They even tell you what information to add in each space. For instance, the first two spaces ask you to write the organizers of the raffle. So I could put in, for example, my name and my boyfriend’s name. The second two spaces might be the event name, so I would write “A night alone” and “with no noise complaints.”

Then, in the three spaces for the prizes, I would put each of their names, and then probably also the cat’s name, because usually you’d have three prizes, and I only have two flatmates. And while the cat is basically decent, she does like to stick her nose where it doesn’t belong, and jump on your head at night if you leave the door open.

In the box marked, “additional information,” I would probably write something rude, just to be silly and blow off a little steam. (Obviously, I wouldn’t be raffling them off were I happy with them!) In the price box, I would put maybe 2 pounds, my flatmates not being a high-ticket item. The “start number” would just be 1. If there is a space to upload an image, I would just find a funny one off my hard drive. It helps if the jpeg is perfectly square. Then you can click on “View Proof” and there’s your raffle ticket.

If you’re feeling very silly, you can save the proof and show it to them. If you’re feeling really silly you can buy the raffle tickets and try to sell them to people who might want a chance to win two freaks and an elderly pussy cat with delusions of grandeur.

Or, you could, you know, really have a serious raffle and make money that way. Either way, the templates work the same. Enjoy!
