Improve your outcome during your sale
The primary goal for any sponsor should be to come up with ways to make as much money as possible.
The prize drawing fundraiser incentive game is designed to do just that by adding a supplemental component to the main prize program. Its purpose is to impact sales results by motivating and rewarding students during the sale. This is the time that you can actually have the greatest impact on your students selling efforts.
If you think about it, the best time to incentivize someone is when they can still make additional impact on the bottom line. And the time to do that is while the sale is still in process, not just at the end.
The typical prize program only rewards students after the sale is over. The prize drawing game on the other hand helps break the sale down into smaller, more manageable goals.
And because drawings happen more than once during the sale, students can continue to sell while being rewarded for it. This encourages more to want to sell and ultimately bring in more money for your campaign.
How it Works
Your students can turn in one prize coupon from their prize drawing coupon sheet for every 5 items sold from their brochure. Rewarding sellers during the sale encourages them to keep selling throughout.
