Custom scooter Raffle, serious question feedback would be great as always!

Hi,
I have been posting on here for a while and had great feedback, our decks and completes will be out at the start of next year ( months behind schedule but been a good learning process, lol!) Our website will be up next week and we are now stockists for Pheonix, District, Blunt, Eagle sport, Blazer, Razor and in new year TSI, Ambush and DSA.

Anyway! Reason for this thread is that I was looking at starting a regular raffle and coming on today noticed a raffle for wheels getting some good and lots of bad comments and wanted opinions on if its worth doing or not?

My plan was to sell tickets for £1 each and the winner gets a custom scooter, we basically set up a scooter spec, e.g. full blunt, deck, forks, stripper bars, triple clamp, compression, grip tape, grips, bearings and eagle sport wheels, total retail about £320 ish but just sell enough tickets to cover cost of parts not retail so maybe 280 tickets and we would build for free and that would cover post worldwide too. Everyone gets a ticket number when they buy one so all straight and when enough sold we get a mod on here who I dont know but eveyone trusts to pick a number from 1-whatever the last number is 280 in this case and then whoever has that ticker wins, that way they know who it is and so do I in case they miss the drawer and everyone knows it is fair! That is the best totally fair system I can think of, I just want feedback to see if people would be interested in it? We dont stand to make money but we get our name out to a lot of people as no one else does this and so its free promotion for us and I also get to build the custom scoots, which I love so its all good!

Sorry for taking 200000000 words to write a simple plan out but want people to see the full idea and see that its a legit idea that is not fixed and everyone knows how many tickets there are to start with etc etc.

Cheers,
Joel.

Nice one good start, lol! Would be the worlds most legit raffle and like you said for £1 or $1 or whatever we finish on could be a good laugh, potentially great prize as you could choose all your own colours and low risk!
 
sounds like a good idea, because it will get you out there. I would definatly get a few tickets.
Also joel send me a update on eveything and distributing

Cheers for the replies guys, sound like a plan, I will work out the best way to start it and move on from there, think we will put the blunt setup as first one but give the winner an option to change parts if they would rather have say a district deck instead but then as its cheaper than a blunt they could upgrade to pheonix forks or something so keep it open to everyone in case people who maybe dont like blunt wouldnt enter if a fixed price? Getting over complicated again aren't I! I know you cant please all of the people all of the time but I am trying,lol! Also the more enter it the more often we can do it and the more people win prizes, could also have bigger ones at special times like christmas and go for pheonix deck, rad crows etc and do the ultimate raffle! Have got both here so with some bones bearings already thinking could be a very nice prize indeed! Too close to christmas to do it now or do you think go for it????? Joel.

Good thinking, final plan how about if we do a christmas and new year one and do the draw on the 1st (providing enough tickets sell, cant really do before all sold or will loose money lol! But if started tonight or something leaves us almost 4 weeks to sell the tickets, might be 450 tickets total (will have to work out thats a really rough cost estimate!) so one hundred or so a week sales, guess if i promote it and if you all can tell as many as possible its doable, what do you think? I am thinking go big on first on, phoenix deck, rad crows, proto scs, phoenix forks, fernando young eagles maybe (only beacuse best we do as cant get proto wheels at the moment so choices low) bones ceramics, fsa headset and odi longnecks. Winner gets to choose colour scheme (apart from bars as we can only get raw if go for rad's o could just go for blunt stripper bars) then we build and sent asap after that.

Sound good??
I can work out exact cost prices etc.
 
yea probably get the best parts for the new years one, and maybe have a second and third? like second gets a pair of bars znd third get's a wheel or two?
anyway once you get this raffle official, you definately have to make a flyer, and email it to inside scooters, hopefully they'll post it up on their site and you'll get ALOT more ticket sales.
