Good Raffles Are Hard to Find
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009It’s been hard coming up with some unique raffle ticket selling ideas. Its easy to go the traditional route, and just visit schools and churches that are sure-fire customers. However, in this economic climate its necessary to search new horizons and expand the client base. As stated in previous blogs, I’ve explored selling tickets to restaurants and non-profit organizations. I have a few tips on how to come up with good raffle ticket selling ideas.
First, its necessary to find a need that any business has. One of those needs typically is gaining new customers. If you can find a way to bring in more customers for them, most businesses are open to hearing your idea. Secondly, the idea needs to work for both you and your client. No business wants to hear an idea that only benefits you and your business. You have to work to find a way that you raffle idea will benefit them in a significant way. Lastly, your idea needs to financially stable for both you and your client. Needless to say, this quite hard to do in this economic climate. Almost every risk you take financially has the potential to leave you broke. But risks are necessary, and its important to remind not only your client of that fact, but yourself as well.
Ideas are always there to be found, you just have to persistent and hard-working enough to find them. Be open to other people’s ideas as well. Talk to people in your community about your ideas and get feed back from them about what they think. Also, get feedback from your clients about how your ideas are working for them. There is always room to improve and grow.
