Need help with coming up with Raffle prize ideas for your school, club, or charity? Then check out some of our following tips.
Sourcing raffle prizes is not only the most important part of hosting a raffle but it can also be the most difficult stage of planning. Because businesses are often happy to donate products or services to local charities, clubs or schools, it’s always worth asking. You never know what they may offer. However, it is sometimes helpful to start with the prize ideas before looking for a supplier.
The prizes on offer will inevitably affect the amount of raffle tickets bought by your supporters. So, if the time, facilities and budget are available, it will often pay off to source really great, unique, impressive prizes and raise even more money.
We have included a few raffle prize ideas for a variety of categories. These will help spark your imagination for your next raffle fundraiser. Don’t forget to keep your potential audience in mind. Finally, make sure the prizes you choose are the type your audience would love to receive.
