In a struggling UK economy, the game is on for business minds to come up with new and better ways to bring in revenue from an increasingly (and understandably) hesitant consumer population. So, what is a tried and tested way to attract, engage and maintain people’s attention? Fun, that’s what!
Raffles for prizes
For centuries, raffles have been a popular way to fundraise and now, with advancing technology, the reach online platforms have is practically unlimited.
At the beginning of this year, the government stated that ‘growth is their number one mission’ for small-medium sized businesses in their ‘Backing Your Business’ plan (for, 2026). But with entrepreneurs reporting an increase in essential outgoings such as staffing costs, it would be reasonable and quite possibly prudent to question how much they are willing to bet on the reliability of this ‘promise’.

So, what are the options for businesses, charities and other organisations? Well, the first thing seems the obvious need to drive up revenue. But surely a move to increase revenue goes hand in hand with an initial outlay in costs I hear you say. Think again…
