FAQs and suggestions

Q: How long should a raffle campaign run?

Two to four weeks of selling works well for most raffles. Whatever the length, keep the same shape: a strong launch, a steady middle and a real countdown.

Q: How do I keep raffle ticket sales going mid-campaign?

Give supporters a reason to look again every few days. Spotlight a prize, or share a real milestone such as the share of tickets sold.

Q: What should I do after the raffle draw?

Close the loop within 48 hours. Announce the winners, share the total raised, thank everyone involved and record your results for next year.
