Raffles are a powerful way to raise funds while energizing your community. This guide will help you make decisions that generate excitement and maximize participation.
Picking the Prizes
When choosing raffle prizes, consider your audience's interests and what would excite them. The better you know your participants, the easier it will be to choose prizes that drive ticket sales.
Deciding on Ticket Prices
Your ticket prices should feel fair and reasonable. Think about:
-
What your audience can afford
-
What they’re willing to spend
-
The value of the prizes
Higher-value prizes can justify higher ticket prices. Keep the cost accessible while matching the perceived value of the reward.
Offering Different Choices
Not everyone can afford the same ticket price, so offering a range of options allows you to reach a broader audience. For higher-priced tickets, consider including:
-
More chances to win
-
Bonus perks or exclusive bundles
