Utilise the Internet: Social Media

Social media is just like using word of mouth to promote your raffle event, only it’s online, so be sure to speak to people and start conversations. Get involved with similar organisations, like supporters posts, share posts from others and send comments. The more you talk to others, the more likely you are to widen your audience and gain more support. You never know how you may find that could help your organisation.

RT4U’s Top Tip: Don’t forget to be social on your channels! Invite your friends, follow people who may be interested and start conversations.

The 2 best channels for promoting your raffle and fundraising event is Facebook and Twitter. Both these channels allow you to post content to your profiles to inform you followers of the latest news. It’s important to post regularly to make sure people are always reading about your organisation. Photos and videos attract a lot of attention on social media and they can be useful to encourage people to click on your links and donate, attend your events or sponsor you.

To promote your raffle be sure to have all the relevant information on your profile or event page, including the draw date & location, promoter details, ticket price, where they can purchase tickets from and most important, the prizes up for grabs. Take photos of your prizes and link to the businesses that have donated them to. It’s important to show what you supporters can win to encourage them to buy tickets.

The best things about using social media to boost ticket sales is that it’s free. So regardless of your budget, you can set up a profile, create an event and start posting to engage your supporters. Keep updating your profile, even when you don’t have an event or raffle on, to make sure your supporters stay following you. There are various ways social media platforms can you help you to fundraise, other than promoting your events.
