Raffles are usually highly effective fundraising events, but they can overcome staff and volunteers.

Staff and volunteers require training, records multiply and become more complex. As ticket sales increase, mistakes appear, and files jumble as more workers manage them.

Time must be spent finding prizes and estimating their appeal. Some advertising efforts may seem desirable but represent a significant learning curve for volunteers and staff, such as online marketing, sponsored links, blogs, email marketing, television advertising and a host of new promotional tools.

Here's where NPO Promotions comes to the rescue. For the traditional fundraiser that depends upon direct mail and an established list of contributors, NPOP gives staff a specialized, easy to use online database with a ticket purchasing system and a built-in referral marketing system.

When the contributor list reaches sufficient size, NPOP constructs larger raffles with expanded promotional reach, incorporating TV advertising, and a host of new online marketing strategies.

NPOP will arrange for fabulous prizes that delight contributors and expand the level of revenue beyond what was thought possible.
