Member Participation: You must have your organization members committed to sell
one book of TEN tickets. Every member must understand that fundraising is a
necessity and is not an option and you must communicate that to them. Fundraising
helps keep the cost of registration down and provides the extra money for all the extras.
Have them write down twenty (20) names of people they can ask to purchase a
raffle ticket. If you get this commitment, all of the other tickets sold by the suggestions
below are a bonus. Have an incentive for the family and team that sells the most tickets.
Marketing: Include information on the sports raffle on your website, Send information to
your members. How many times have we all heard " I didn’t know about that"
"I didn’t hear about that program", Don’t miss an opportunity to inform people
about the Raffle. Take advantage of all the marketing and advertising done to
promote college and professional sports and travel. Most individuals have an interest
in a sport or love to Travel.
Sponsorship: Visit your local business owners and local corporations and ask them
to sponsor the program. They can donate towards the cost of the program, they can
buy raffle tickets or they can sell raffle tickets for you. You can include the business’
on a website on your promotional mailings or flyers. This promotes good
community awareness and support. Most local businesses will allow you to set
up a table outside the store to sell raffle tickets. You just have to ask.
Events / Functions: Once you have decided to do the Raffle, look at your
community calendar of events. At these events have an area set up to sell
raffle tickets. This is a great opportunity to sell tickets. People care and will
support the program.
Incentive Program:
Set up a contest for the top team and family's who sell the most tickets.
