HOW IT WORKS
The Process
Selling raffle tickets online using GalaBid is simple – watch their Raffle Video and view some of their previous client raffles below for more information.
Raffle Examples
The Cost
The cost of using GalaBid’s raffle platform is 5% of the maximum potential turnover* of your raffle which is invoiced within 5 days of your raffle closing. This is a fixed fee, not a ‘commission’.
*ticket cost multiplied by the number of tickets for sale"
You can use GalaBid free of charge by asking a local real estate agent to sponsor GalaBid’s fee (the cost is very affordable for them). In return, you can offer them a benefit package like the one below which provides great ROI:
- Your logo featured prominently on the campaign banner on our online auction site (we’re using GalaBid to facilitate our online raffle – check out their Demo Video, Global Demo and NZ Demo.
- A dedicated ‘sponsors’ page on our auction site featuring your logo hyperlinked to your website (example).
- A copy of the participant data (name, email, mobile) after the draw which is legally gathered via GalaBid when people register to purchase raffle tickets.
- Your logo on our club website page promoting the raffle which will be live for 2 months.
- Your logo on all our EDMs promoting the raffle (e.g. 4 x EDMs to 500,000 contacts over 2 months)
- 2 x shoutouts on our social media platforms (e.g. Facebook x 500, Instagram x 350) when we launch the raffle and after the raffle is drawn
- Opportunity to promote the raffle on your own website and social media platforms using our official campaign branding
The Prize
Ask a local car or boat dealership to provide a car/boat at wholesale price ‘on consignment’ as the raffle prize. On consignment means you only buy it if you sell enough raffle tickets to cover the cost. If you don’t sell enough tickets, you simply don’t buy the car/boat and refund all ticket holders via GalaBid.
To sweeten the deal, tell the dealership how many people you intend promoting the raffle to (e.g. the number of members, social media followers and email database contacts you have) and that you can drive foot traffic to their dealership by including a line in the raffle description suggesting people view the prize on display in the showroom and/or organise a test drive.
