Web Based Administration
( ? )
Complete control of your online raffle through our web based administration tools. You are able to quickly and easily setup raffles, manage your users and view statistics. Once your raffle has sold out or is ready to be drawn drawing the winner(s) is as easy as clicking your mouse. The raffle drawing, winner notification, as well as archiving of the raffle is all automatically handled.
Online Ticket Sales
( ? )
Bringing your raffle fundraiser to the internet opens up your raffle to many people who want to take part in your raffle but, for various reasons, find it easier and more convenient to purchase tickets from the comfort of their own home, quickly and easily, without the hassels of envelopes, stamps, and the Post Office.
Every person that is interested in your fundraiser has the opportunity to have their very own member account. This allows member the ability to keep your group updated about their current information making it is easier to contact them when you need their support in the future. This also allows you an easy method to contact your supporters through email newsletters and latest news posts to your raffle site. Members that purchase tickets can use their account to track their tickets as well as purchase additional tickets.
A great way to show your appreciation to your Sponsors. Each sponsor is given their own information page where surfers to your site can become more familiar with your sponsors. As an additional way to help drive your supporters to your sponsors we randomly rotate your sponsors' logo throughout the main page of your Online Raffle as well as within the private member area main page.
Authorize.net Processing
( ? )
A more traditional approach to e-commerce, an Authorize.Net Payment Gateway Merchant Account account enables you to accept all major credit card and electronic check payments from your Online Raffle Web site. This is the same type of account that most large online retailers use.
*must open an authorize.net merchant account
With the latest news tools you can quickly add updates to the main raffle page as well as the private member pages about your raffle or any other information that your group wishes to post.
Prize Information Page
( ? )
Considered to be the heart of your online raffle fundraiser. This area shows the available prizes and gives detailed descriptions and photos of each prize. This is also where members will come to see how many tickets are available for sale still as well as the end date.
Online Ticket Selection
( ? )
Once all raffle tickets (online and offline) have been sold and entered into the O.R.S. holding your raffle is as easy as a click of the mouse. There is no actual contact with tickets and the system is fully responsible for randomly selecting winners digitally. Many groups will find it exciting to have a computer set up to output the screen to various televisions throughout the drawing location so everyone can watch as the winner is selected with the press of a button.
Online Winner's Archive
( ? )
Once your group completes a raffle, that information is archived and raffle details and winner names are made available for the public to see on the past winners pages of the site. Each time you hold a raffle this information becomes available to see. A great way to look back at what your group has done and a great way to keep people interested and coming back to your site between raffles.
Organization Information Page
( ? )
This tool allows your group to have its very own information page on your raffle site. A great way for potential supporters and fundraiser customers to get to know your group.
Downloadable Site Reports
( ? )
A new tool for the admistration of your Raffle is a report download tool. This option allows you to download various database information to your computer in Excel format. By default it is set up to download all raffle information or all user information but can be customized to download whatever database information your group desires.
Domain Registration
( ? )
We will obtain for you at a minimal cost your very own domain name for your raffle. Many times this is as easy as choosing "YourGroupsRaffle.com" but we will use whatever site you would like; as long as it is available of course.
Why be limited to one raffle at a time when your supporters will justify more than one raffle. Perhaps you would like to hold several smaller raffles to boost interest to individuals that may not be interested in one large ticket item. Possibly your sponsors have donated smaller prizes that could be raffle side by side a larger prize. Their are many reasons to hold more than one raffle at a time so we made sure this feature was included.
Every installation of RaffleSoft : O.R.S. comes with some limited customization to make it match your group. Sometimes limited just isn't enough though so that is why we offer full site customization. We can set up your O.R.S. to match your Organizations existing site or if you wish, we can give your site its very own look and personality making your raffle one of a kind and distinct.
Does your group require a 2nd prize? How about a 3rd? Well we went even further to offer your group more choice, we built in the ability to offer up to 12 additional prizes! Each prize is as easy to add as it is to start a raffle and just as easy to draw as the grand prize. There is no need to wait until the end of a raffle to draw the prizes so early-bird prizes are no problem! To be completely effective we made sure that each raffle's additional prize is posted in the raffle archive along with the main prize for everyone to see.
The ability to quickly reach every member of a raffle or every registered user of your site is a tool that anyone running a large website can appreciate. We add this function so you may start an online newsletter for your Non-Profit group or simply present offers from your sponsors or even directly from your Organization. When you have the power to easily contact your members the potential and ideas for use are limitless.
Offline Ticket Sales
( ? )
Many groups want the flexibility to sell tickets door to door or at various Organization Sponsored events. We have developed a tool that allows your group to sell "gift vouchers" in the real world for use in your virtual world. Supporters that do not have immediate access the internet are able to purchase a gift voucher and use that voucher to purchase tickets on your Raffle Website.
