Raising funds using raffle is somewhat of an easy solution to solve your problems. With some raffle's your organization can raise $5,000, $10,000, and even $100,000 in one month. I've seen it happen!

You see, a raffle is very effective because it is a win-win situation for both parties: the organization and the participants. Why? Simply, for a small amount you can have a shot of winning an expensive car, a house, vacation packages, and many other prizes. The organization win's big because the amount's raised can be very substantial in a short period of time.

Here are three easy methods to sell more tickets faster than ever before.

Step 1: Create small mini-billboard's and promote your raffle

Mini-billboard's are 2.5 x 3.5 business card's with your advertising information on the card. You can have these printed for very cheap, for around $100 for 5,000 cards.

quite simple, call the program director or community events director and inform them about your raffle fundraiser. Ask them what you you can do to help them get this information on the airwaves. Give it a try, it works!

Step 3: Contact Local Newspaper for PR

Again, these methods work, so give them a try. Happy fundraising!
