Using raffles to sell your items


"Money is tight right now", there is no mistaking that phase at all. If you are trying to sell something either in person or via the internet you have noticed a drop in sales. People in general are just holding on to their money right now. If the item you are selling is over $50 then you might see a drop in sales. I have personally noticed a drop in sales for anything priced over $60. The $39 and under items still are selling but not as fast as they use to.

Here is a tip that might help you sell more. Run a raffle for your more expensive items. Use the raffle as a promotion. If you are trying to sell a bed quilt for over $100 then selling raffle tickets for that item for a dollar a ticket might get you more money in the long run.
