Strategically Developing Your Raffle

Our unrivalled charity raffle experience gives the Woods Group a unique insight into how to strategically grow and develop your programme.

We start with a raffle audit which involves an initial fact finding meeting so that we can understand your current programme as well as your plans and aspirations for your raffle. This takes one to two hours and is a free consultation without obligation.

Following the audit we prepare a detailed discussion document for you which highlights our observations and recommendations together with a step by step development plan with cost and income projections.

To arrange a raffle audit for your programme please click here.

After the audit we can use a range of methods to achieve agreed growth targets. These may include:

• Data enhancement
• Database mining and profiling
• Enhanced pack design and format
• Lapsed donor reactivation programmes
• Cold acquisition programmes
• Detailed post campaign analysis and reporting
• Advanced recency / frequency / value modelling

Like all our services, all work is carried out by Woods Group specialists at our Wiltshire headquarters. We would be delighted to put you in touch with any of our existing clients so you can take up references.
