Raffles are an effective fundraising strategy for a charity event, club, non-profit organization or any other special occasion. They are great for generating interest and excitement at an event, and they also allow participants to enter for a chance to win prizes or gifts.
Design your own eye-catching raffle tickets using Canva’s amazing templates and drag-and-drop design tools.
Printing
Whether you’re organizing a fundraiser for a charity or event, raffle tickets are an excellent way to drum up interest and excitement. But, if you don’t have the time or budget to invest in expensive printing equipment, you can still create impressive raffle tickets for your next event with Canva’s free online design tools.
We print full color event and raffle tickets on a variety of paper stock. We also offer options like back printing, perforations on the stub, and front and back numbering. We can even print the unique ticket numbers in multiple positions on your tickets, depending on your preferences and the quantity you need.
We can print your event and raffle tickets using either digital or offset printing processes. We recommend digital for short run orders because of the fast turnaround times and affordable price. We can also add barcodes and QR codes to your tickets for increased security and tracking. These features can be added at the time of ordering or printed after the tickets are completed.
Designing
Designing and printing raffle tickets can be a time-consuming process, especially if you don’t have graphic design skills. However, there are a variety of templates and online tools that can help you create attractive and effective tickets for your fundraising event.
Choose a template that suits your organization’s branding and event theme. Use font colors and styles that provide a contrast with the background to make the information more visible. In addition, leave space on the stub for participants to write their contact information.
Consider partnering with businesses to sell raffle tickets at their locations in exchange for promotional support or incentives. This method can increase ticket sales and help your organization reach its fundraising goals.
Use social media platforms to promote the event and encourage supporters to buy tickets online or at in-person sales events. Segment your email list based on audience interests and engagement levels to customize messaging and increase the likelihood of conversions.
Numbering
A raffle ticket numbering process is necessary to ensure accurate and organized results. This step will help you track ticket sales, select winners at random and prevent fraud. Using a sequential numbering system is a great way to save time and improve your organization.
If you're printing a large run of tickets, it's important to use a layout-oriented software program that supports data merge or variable data printing. This will save you time and money by eliminating the need to re-design each document for each ticket.
Another option is to use a numbering application like Number Pro that works with InDesign, Corel Draw, Word or Publisher. The application creates a data file that easily integrates with these software programs and prints the numbers on the documents or forms you're printing. This will reduce your print job to one pass through the printer and is a good choice for smaller or medium print shops. It is also cloud based and accessible from any device with internet capabilities.
Shipping
Whether you use a mobile bidding platform or a dedicated fundraising website to sell tickets, make sure your online marketing and promotional materials are up to date and reflect the latest information about the raffle. This will help you reach your fundraising goals faster and increase ticket sales.
Gather a small committee to solicit prizes from merchants and local businesses. Explain the purpose of your raffle and stress that the items will be a great benefit to them and their customers. It is also important to offer a variety of prizes. Electronics, such as TVs, Tablets and Game consoles are always popular. Services, such as dinner for two or a weekend cabin are also a good option.
Keep track of all the ticket stubs and donations that are turned in by your volunteers. Ideally, have a deadline by which all tickets and donations must be turned in. Also, keep a file of all the information you collected and any other details about the raffle for the next year.
