Docupton Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 It was my last show of the year, I was unsure about going as it is always a poor show, but I decided to try something different. I know this wont work for everyone but it certainly paid off for me. I put raffle tickets on half my stock, the winning tickets would end in a nought or a five. I sold the tickets at £1.00 each and sold 57 tickets with 14 winners, I also sold 7 full price non raffle items and came home with a smile on my face, not bad for a 6 hour one day sale in a school hall.

Phantom Scroller Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Nice one Doc, did you put the tickets in box take the money and then let them pick the ticket and you get to see the sad face when a nought or a five didn't come out. aah haa haa great stuff funny. On a serious note good idea well done, what a different way to sell the goods. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelCass Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Neat idea, most people are willing to spend a buck for a chance to win something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Johnson Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Hi doc It is always worth to try something different from what others do at trade shows. You came up with an idea and it paid off. I am glad your idea worked from the norm. You deserve credit for being different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
