How to use it

  1. Personalise the bracketed fields in each email with your raffle details.
  2. Schedule the sequence before your raffle opens, so no send depends on a last-minute task.
  3. Point every email’s button to your campaign page.
  4. Update the milestone email with real numbers when you reach your threshold.

FAQs

How many emails should a raffle campaign send?‍

Six emails over three to four weeks works well for most raffles. They cover early access, launch, a mid-campaign prize spotlight, a milestone update, a last-chance email and a final-day reminder.

When should I send the last-chance email?

Send it about 48 hours before the draw closes. This is usually the strongest email in the sequence, so keep the wording direct.

Can I use these templates for any charity raffle?

Yes. Replace the bracketed fields with your own raffle name, prizes, pricing, cause and dates before sending.
