Setting Raffle Goals
Whenever you run a raffle its important to set goals for your group. That way when every one is out selling tickets they have that goal in mind and try to strive to attain it. It is also important that your goal be realistic. When determining how much money you want your group to make from a raffle, you have to take into consideration a couple factors.
The first question you have to answer is how many people do you have that will be actively selling tickets? Also, what are the costs of the raffle that you will have to cover? Something that helps is to give your sellers a minimum amount of tickets that they have to sell to be able to meet your projected goal. Then set another amount of tickets they would have to sell to stretch your goal by another thousand dollars or so. This will inspire your over achievers in the group.
Lastly, you should set two time goals before the your raffle ends. Pick two dates around the mid-point of your raffle and how many tickets you think should be sold by the group as a whole/each individual by then. This will help to keep your sellers continually motivated throughout the duration of the raffle. Goals are good and very beneficial for any raffle.
