The Raffle Quiz

Giving your supporters what they want

How can you, the intelligent, raffle organiser make the most of your supporters’ desires? By asking them what they want before you print your Raffle Tickets!

In that spirit we offer the following tip: create a survey!

If you have the cash and a base that does not spend much time online, you can do this with a paper survey mailed with a stamped envelope. Otherwise, save time and money by using one of myriad online quiz-making applications. Then ask your customers exactly what you need to know:

• What prizes do you want?
• What are your hobbies?
• How much money would you consider spending on raffle tickets?
• How many prizes would you expect?
• When should we hold the prize draw?
• How many fundraisers should we hold every year?

Most people like answering quizzes and surveys on the Internet. It creates stronger ties to organization,  and shows that you see your donors as individuals, not just financial amounts, and that you are interested in their opinions and feedback.

Of course, your prize draw will be far more successful if you sell Raffle Tickets for things people want, at prices they can afford, at times and in places convenient to them for purchasing Raffle Tickets!

Want to improve your next fundraising prize draw? Don’t ask my opinion! Ask the opinions of those to whom you hope to sell Raffle Tickets! Seek our your supporters, determine what they want, and enjoy more success by giving it to them.
